Binance Market Update | Bitcoin Hits $67K: Is Anthropic’s IPO Draining Crypto?
Bitcoin is down 20%+ since October, its lowest since August, and analysts are split on why. Some blame investors raising cash for Anthropic’s 6x-oversubscribed IPO; others see a wider AI-trade unwind. Under 45% of active supply is in profit, a zone that has often marked correction lows. Tap for the full breakdown.Bitcoin Falls to $68,000 as Analysts Split on Whether Anthropic’s 6x-Oversubscribed IPO Is Draining CryptoBitcoin fell to around $68,000 overnight, its lowest since August, and was last near $67,240, extending a slide of more than 20% since early October. Anthropic’s IPO, which could raise up to $64.4B, is about six times oversubscribed, per Bloomberg. Xapo Bank CEO Seamus Rocca said order books opening pull money from liquid assets like bitcoin as investors scramble for allocations, and compared it to SpaceX’s IPO, which he said temporarily drained money from bitcoin. Risk Dimensions’ Mark Connors sees a wholesale deleveraging of the AI trade, citing gold’s decline. Hyperium Decimus’ Chris Sullivan sees no logical link between Nvidia’s troubles and bitcoin, pointing instead to shorts above their August peak, large IBIT outflows, extreme fear and the chance of a 50bp Fed hike within 30 days. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s exit (shares fell as much as 14% on November 12) and Strategy’s MSCI removal at the November 30 close added pressure, though Schwab’s Jim Ferraioli said the timing of the sharpest drop, around 11 p.m. Eastern, suggests neither was the direct trigger. Strive CEO Matt Cole notes bitcoin fell 19% in the 50 days before SpaceX listed versus 18% before Anthropic; after SpaceX it bottomed 18 days later and was 28% higher by day 100. A repeat would put bitcoin near $90,000 by late February, though Strategy-related selling concerns also played a role then.

Readings below 40% have often coincided with lows of market corrections, while readings near 100% have tended to raise reversal risk. Some investors use this as a contrarian signal. Bitcoin trades near $67,000, its lowest since August.Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF Adds 735 BTC This Week, Lifting Holdings to 11,625 BTC; Its Solana ETF Moves 24,452 SOLMSBT added about 735 BTC (about $52.87M) this week, per Arkham, bringing holdings to 11,625 BTC, worth about $784M, while US spot bitcoin ETFs overall saw heavy outflows.
