Bitcoin’s six-week streak of gains, its longest since 2021, is a classic example of how FOMO (fear of missing out) drives market behavior.

Risks to Watch as Bitcoin Hits $100K
Despite the excitement, there's some big risks:
- Volatility: Bitcoin briefly dipped to $92,000 after crossing $100K. Volatility is through the roof!
- Regulatory Uncertainty: Future U.S. and global regulations are still unknown. Any shift could impact the confidence driving these inflows.
- Overinvestment Risk: Chasing Bitcoin at all-time highs could overexpose investors to potential losses. Some investors found a secret to mitigate this risk.
Crypto’s Role in Traditional Finance
More investments into Bitcoin ETFs show how businesses are changing their view of cryptocurrencies. Alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum ETFs also saw $2 billion in inflows during this period.

- Bitcoin ETFs have attracted nearly $10 billion in inflows since Nov. 5, pushing total assets to $113 billion.
- Bitcoin’s $100K milestone shows FOMO in Full Swing
- With regulatory uncertainty and price swings, crypto is still unpredictable.
