Risk on vs Risk off
summary
Panel argues ETFs remove custody and marking hurdles so institutions can buy Bitcoin directly, turning technical objections into operational acceptance. Cited evidence: BlackRock ETF $8B/30 days, multiple $1B inflow days, 70% of early buyers increase positions into Q2, and public pension allocations of ~1–2%. Claims that Bitcoin already showed risk-off spikes during March 2023 and Sept 2022, that volatility is upside when price trends up, and that even 1–10% allocations materially boost 5-year 60/40 returns.
