Core Viewpoint - The cryptocurrency market is at a critical juncture, with intense debate over whether the "four-year cycle" has become obsolete, as Bitcoin transitions from a fringe asset to a global macro hedge asset, fundamentally altering its operational logic [1][3]. Market Dynamics - The institutionalization process is identified as the primary driver breaking the cycle, with continuous buying from spot ETFs providing a deep liquidity cushion, contrasting sharply with the previous retail-driven "boom and bust" patterns [4]. - Macro policy easing and global liquidity expansion are emerging as new engines for market trends, with Grayscale data indicating that Bitcoin's macro hedge attributes are becoming more pronounced due to ongoing fiat currency devaluation pressures [4].
