Bitcoin surged past $65,000 this week as traders responded to a significant shift in capital flows from AI-focused investments to broader crypto assets. Ethereum also broke through the $1,900 resistance, with bulls eyeing a $2,100 target before the quarter ends.
Wall Street’s pivot away from AI stocks is fueling this rotation. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index recently dropped sharply, shedding 20% in weekly outflows, which signals cooling interest in AI infrastructure spending. This shift is mirrored within the crypto space, where the total market cap for AI-themed coins has fallen to $22.1 billion, with coins like Near Protocol and Internet Computer showing losses.
Fund Rotation and Regulatory Momentum
Heavy inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs and whale accumulations suggest a growing confidence in the broader crypto market. Regulatory developments in the US, particularly expectations around the Clarity Act, are encouraging long-term investments that could ripple internationally. According to Stephane Ouellette, CEO of FRNT Financial, Bitcoin is positioned near the top of its trading range, and as AI trades slow down, the path looks set for a breakout supported by easing concerns over interest rates.
This rotation from AI assets to traditional cryptos coincides with a pause in the bear market’s flash sales. Earlier, miners and major corporations stocked up on high-performance computing gear to hedge risks amid crypto downturns. Now, as macroeconomic factors and Wall Street capital realign, cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and XRP are ready for a sustained rebound.
Investors keep an eye on key resistance levels, especially for Ethereum, as momentum builds. The evolving geopolitical landscape and regulatory clarity are shaping the next phase for digital assets.
