In February, as Bitcoin&#8217;s price fluctuated between $95,000 and $100,000, investors in the options market developed strategies targeting an aggressive bullish scenario. According to Amberdata, <strong data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"434\">$110,000 Bitcoin call options<\/strong> on the Deribit exchange have become the most preferred investment tool this month.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"45\" data-end=\"517\">\n<p data-start=\"45\" data-end=\"517\">\n<p data-start=\"45\" data-end=\"517\"><strong data-start=\"519\" data-end=\"550\">Bitcoin News from Abu Dhabi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"1726\">Abu Dhabi announced that by December 31, 2024, it had invested <strong data-start=\"615\" data-end=\"633\">$436.9 million<\/strong> in BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin ETF (<strong data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"678\">IBIT<\/strong>). The investment was made through the city\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Investments, and was included in the <strong data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"807\">13F filing<\/strong> submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (<strong data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"873\">SEC<\/strong>). Following this announcement, Bitcoin&#8217;s price increased by 1%, reaching <strong data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"958\">$97,700<\/strong>. This investment, which followed BlackRock&#8217;s commercial license in Abu Dhabi in November, signals an increase in cryptocurrency adoption in the region. <strong data-start=\"1111\" data-end=\"1124\">BlackRock<\/strong>, with <strong data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1146\">$56 billion<\/strong> in assets, is the largest fund in the market with its <strong data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1221\">spot Bitcoin ETF<\/strong>. Abu Dhabi\u2019s interest in crypto assets is not new. In 2023, the region announced plans to establish a large Bitcoin mining facility in partnership with <strong data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1394\">Marathon Digital<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1411\">Zero Two<\/strong>. Former Binance CEO <strong data-start=\"1432\" data-end=\"1450\">Changpeng Zhao<\/strong> also hinted that other sovereign wealth funds could invest in crypto. Bitcoin advocate <strong data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1559\">Anthony Pompliano<\/strong> noted that Abu Dhabi&#8217;s move presents a strategic opportunity for the U.S., and he expressed curiosity about what might happen as governments enter the Bitcoin market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"1726\">\n<p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"1726\">\n<p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"1726\"><strong data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1763\">Wisconsin Increases Investments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2071\">In the U.S., the <strong data-start=\"1782\" data-end=\"1818\">Wisconsin State Investment Board<\/strong> (<strong data-start=\"1820\" data-end=\"1828\">SWIB<\/strong>) increased its stake in BlackRock\u2019s IBIT fund to 6 million shares, making a total investment of <strong data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"1941\">$321 million<\/strong>. SWIB\u2019s crypto-related investments also include companies like <strong data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2017\">Coinbase<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2036\">MARA Holdings<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2051\">Robinhood<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2070\">Block Inc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2071\">\n<p data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2071\">\n<p data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2071\"><strong data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2111\">Bitcoin Investment Moves by States<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"3125\"><strong data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"2130\">West Virginia<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2135\" data-end=\"2146\">Georgia<\/strong> have introduced new bills to include Bitcoin and digital assets in their investment strategies. On February 14, <strong data-start=\"2259\" data-end=\"2301\">West Virginia State Senator Chris Rose<\/strong> introduced <strong data-start=\"2313\" data-end=\"2353\">The Inflation Protection Act of 2025<\/strong>, allowing the state treasury to invest <strong data-start=\"2393\" data-end=\"2400\">10%<\/strong> of its funds in Bitcoin and precious metals. Only digital assets with a market cap of over <strong data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2508\">$750 billion<\/strong> are eligible for this investment, with Bitcoin currently the only one meeting this criterion. Along with West Virginia, states like <strong data-start=\"2641\" data-end=\"2649\">Utah<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2651\" data-end=\"2663\">Kentucky<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"2669\" data-end=\"2681\">Michigan<\/strong> have also introduced similar bills. The <strong data-start=\"2722\" data-end=\"2755\">Utah House of Representatives<\/strong> approved a bill enabling investments in digital assets, and Kentucky proposed a regulation for a <strong data-start=\"2853\" data-end=\"2885\">10% digital asset investment<\/strong>. These developments are seen as a significant step toward incorporating crypto assets into official investment strategies in the U.S. According to analysts, state Bitcoin reserves could create a new demand of <strong data-start=\"3095\" data-end=\"3110\">$23 billion<\/strong> in the market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"3125\">\n<p data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"3125\">\n<p data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"3125\"><strong data-start=\"3127\" data-end=\"3144\">LIBRA Scandal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3146\" data-end=\"3929\">Recently, <strong data-start=\"3156\" data-end=\"3165\">Milei<\/strong> promoted a meme coin called <strong data-start=\"3194\" data-end=\"3203\">LIBRA<\/strong> on the social media platform <strong data-start=\"3233\" data-end=\"3238\">X<\/strong>, claiming it was developed to support small and medium-sized enterprises in Argentina. However, the token quickly gained value, reaching a market cap of <strong data-start=\"3392\" data-end=\"3408\">$4.5 billion<\/strong>. After the president deleted his promotional post, the token lost <strong data-start=\"3475\" data-end=\"3482\">90%<\/strong> of its value, experiencing a sharp decline. Following this, President <strong data-start=\"3553\" data-end=\"3562\">Milei<\/strong> faced impeachment proceedings in parliament; the opposition argued that his actions caused the country to lose global credibility. In a dramatic turn of events in Argentine politics, opposition lawmakers claimed that President <strong data-start=\"3790\" data-end=\"3799\">Milei<\/strong> misled investors by promoting and then withdrawing support for <strong data-start=\"3863\" data-end=\"3872\">LIBRA<\/strong>, thus tarnishing the country&#8217;s international reputation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3931\" data-end=\"3952\">It didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3954\" data-end=\"4499\">It was revealed that <strong data-start=\"3975\" data-end=\"3984\">LIBRA<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"3989\" data-end=\"4000\">Trump\u2019s<\/strong> wife\u2019s meme coin, <strong data-start=\"4019\" data-end=\"4030\">MELANIA<\/strong>, were both managed by the same team. Blockchain analysis by <strong data-start=\"4091\" data-end=\"4105\">Bubblemaps<\/strong> showed that the wallets behind <strong data-start=\"4137\" data-end=\"4146\">LIBRA<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"4151\" data-end=\"4162\">MELANIA<\/strong> were interconnected. The analysis indicated that a wallet linked to the creator of <strong data-start=\"4246\" data-end=\"4257\">MELANIA<\/strong> made early-stage purchases, earning <strong data-start=\"4294\" data-end=\"4310\">$2.4 million<\/strong> in profit. Later, part of these funds was transferred to another wallet on the <strong data-start=\"4390\" data-end=\"4414\">Avalanche blockchain<\/strong>, which was subsequently found to have funded the main developer wallet of <strong data-start=\"4489\" data-end=\"4498\">LIBRA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4501\" data-end=\"4608\">Speaking of <strong data-start=\"4513\" data-end=\"4522\">LIBRA<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"4527\" data-end=\"4538\">MELANIA<\/strong>, let&#8217;s take a closer look at <strong data-start=\"4568\" data-end=\"4582\">meme coins<\/strong> and the risks they carry.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4610\" data-end=\"5682\"><strong data-start=\"4610\" data-end=\"4624\">Meme coins<\/strong> are cryptocurrencies created based on internet culture, social media trends, and jokes. Typically, they are projects that appeal to specific communities and are humor- or entertainment-focused. However, these coins can be much more speculative and volatile compared to other cryptocurrencies. Some key points to consider are that <strong data-start=\"4955\" data-end=\"4969\">meme coins<\/strong> usually gain value suddenly due to social media hype and community support, but they can also collapse just as quickly. Many <strong data-start=\"5095\" data-end=\"5109\">meme coins<\/strong> lack a sustainable ecosystem or real use case. Large investors may drive up the price and then sell off quickly, causing significant losses for smaller investors. While <strong data-start=\"5279\" data-end=\"5293\">meme coins<\/strong> may appear fun and community-oriented, investment decisions should be based on research, not social media trends. <strong data-start=\"5408\" data-end=\"5422\">Meme coins<\/strong> can bring quick profits but also result in serious losses. Before investing, it\u2019s crucial to carefully evaluate the team behind the project, its technical infrastructure, and its long-term potential. Remember, informed investing is always the best investment!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4610\" data-end=\"5682\">\n<p data-start=\"4610\" data-end=\"5682\">\n<p data-start=\"4610\" data-end=\"5682\">\n<strong data-start=\"5684\" data-end=\"5734\">Trump&#8217;s Tariff Policies and Market Uncertainty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5736\" data-end=\"6352\">Trump&#8217;s tariff policies have sparked a global trade war, and the ongoing uncertainty in the markets is causing anxiety among investors. This has reduced demand for risky assets. On the other hand, in his speech this week, <strong data-start=\"5958\" data-end=\"5981\">Fed Chairman Powell<\/strong> indicated that they wouldn\u2019t rush into interest rate cuts, and signals pointed to expectations of rate cuts being delayed until <strong data-start=\"6110\" data-end=\"6122\">December<\/strong> due to inflation data. Despite these negative developments, Bitcoin\u2019s ability to maintain its position around <strong data-start=\"6233\" data-end=\"6244\">$96,000<\/strong> has attracted attention. To examine this in more detail, let\u2019s take a look at <strong data-start=\"6323\" data-end=\"6339\">ITB analysis<\/strong> for Bitcoin:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6354\" data-end=\"7026\" data-is-last-node=\"\">For Bitcoin, the proportion of market participants making profits is <strong data-start=\"6423\" data-end=\"6430\">90%<\/strong>, while <strong data-start=\"6438\" data-end=\"6444\">6%<\/strong> are at a loss, and <strong data-start=\"6464\" data-end=\"6470\">4%<\/strong> are neutral. This indicates that a large majority are in profit at current price levels. Whale trading volumes have decreased to <strong data-start=\"6600\" data-end=\"6619\">$116.16 billion<\/strong>. <strong data-start=\"6621\" data-end=\"6637\">ITB analysis<\/strong> shows a <strong data-start=\"6646\" data-end=\"6685\">\u201c5 neutral,\u201d \u201c0 bull,\u201d and \u201c0 bear\u201d<\/strong> market expectation for Bitcoin. The abundance of neutral indicators suggests that investors are uncertain about the market&#8217;s future, and price movements are not progressing in any clear direction. This means that instead of expecting a short-term recovery or downturn, Bitcoin is likely to remain in a horizontal movement at current levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6354\" data-end=\"7026\" data-is-last-node=\"\">\n<p data-start=\"6354\" data-end=\"7026\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-16017\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.egemoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/itb-Ingilizce-17.02.jpg\" alt=\"ITB analyses\" width=\"803\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.egemoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/itb-Ingilizce-17.02.jpg 835w, https:\/\/blog.egemoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/itb-Ingilizce-17.02-768x669.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The investment information and opinions contained in this research report do not constitute investment advice.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekly Economic Calendar: Date Time Currency Event February 17, Monday All day USD U.S. Markets&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":16007,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[167,180],"tags":[203,211,271,272],"class_list":{"0":"post-16016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cryptocurrency-news","8":"category-weekly-newsletter","9":"tag-btc","10":"tag-eth-en","11":"tag-libra-en","12":"tag-wld-en"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tension is Rising in the Crypto Market!
