“The market is entering a phase where liquidity is becoming more selective rather than purely speculative,” Jake Seltzer, CEO of Quantix Finance, told CoinDesk in an emailed statement. “Bitcoin continuing to strengthen at these levels is important because it’s reinforcing confidence across the broader digital asset market, particularly among institutional allocators that were previously sitting on the sidelines. ”“Near term, markets will still be driven by macro conditions, ETF flows, and global liquidity, so volatility is expected,” Seltzer said.
“But structurally, the industry feels much healthier than previous cycles. ” Seltzer said capital is starting to favor “real infrastructure, sustainable yield models, and platforms with actual risk management behind them rather than short-term narratives alone. ” That shift will also put infrastructure in focus.
