Adam Back Sees Silver Lining in Massive Bitcoin Price Plunge

  • The treasury advantage 
  • A liquidity crunch 

Now that Bitcoin is down over 40% from its fall highs and hitting its lowest levels in weeks, crypto market sentiment has turned undeniably bearish. 

However, Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream and the inventor of the Hashcash proof-of-work system, sees a silver lining in the current downturn.

During a conversation with CNBC’s Melissa Lee, Back argued that lower crypto prices could be beneficial for Bitcoin Standard Treasury (BST), his upcoming venture.

The treasury advantage 

Back is currently preparing for a SPAC approval for Bitcoin Standard Treasury, which is estimated to occur around April. 

According to the crypto pioneer, lower Bitcoin prices during this pre-listing window would make it possible for the company to purchase more coins for its treasury.

“Depending on where the Bitcoin price is, if it holds at this level, that’s actually to our advantage,” Back explained. “Because we go out with a lower reference price and are able to buy more Bitcoin, making our way up the rung to probably number three in the global ranks of Bitcoin treasury companies by holdings.”

Treasury companies “take Bitcoin off the market” to hold and accumulate, Back says.  

A liquidity crunch 

Some market observers are puzzled by the inability of institutional adoption to propel crypto prices. Back has attributed this to liquidity-related difficulties among retail investors.

Traditional mutual funds can reallocate capital, but Bitcoin retail investors typically lack dry powder during such extremely severe market downturns.

“I think Bitcoin tends to be a little weak to the downside because many of the retail investors end up being all in. And so they don’t have a lot of capital to buy Bitcoin,” Back said. “Whereas if you look at public company stocks or big mutual funds… they might sell some Microsoft and buy some Tesla if they think Tesla’s cheaper at a given level. With Bitcoin, most of the investors are all in, so they don’t have that ability to sell something else to reallocate.”

The post First Multi-Asset Crypto ETP Opens Door to Institutional Adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) for trading on the stock exchange. The decision comes as the SEC also relaxes ETF listing standards. This approval provides easier access for traditional investors and signals a major regulatory shift, paving the way for institutional capital to flow into the crypto market.

The fund’s primary goal is to expose investors to the most significant digital assets in the market without requiring them to buy, store, or secure the coins directly. In July, the SEC delayed its decision to convert GDLC from an OTC fund into an exchange-listed ETP on NYSE Arca, citing further review. However, the latest developments raise investors’ hopes that a multi-asset crypto ETP from Grayscale will soon become a reality. Approval under the Generic Listing Standards will help “streamline the process,” opening the door for more crypto ETPs. Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and ADA investors are the most…
