Minotaurus Presale Draws Attention Amid Bitcoin’s Rally Towards $70K

Bitcoin has been experiencing a strong bullish rally, driving its price to levels not seen since mid-2024. As optimism grows in the market, Bitcoin surged to $69,500 on October 21, nearing the psychologically significant $70,000 mark. This renewed momentum in Bitcoin is fueled by a combination of institutional inflows, particularly through Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), and increasing confidence among long-term holders.

Meanwhile, in the blockchain gaming world, Minotaurus ($MTAUR) is garnering significant attention with its presale, offering early holders exclusive benefits as it aims to make a mark in the rapidly expanding gaming sector.

Bitcoin’s recent price surge comes after a period of consolidation throughout the summer, during which it hovered around lower levels. The current rally, which saw Bitcoin reaching $69,500, reflects renewed market confidence as the cryptocurrency moves closer to the $70,000 threshold. Although there was a slight pullback, with Bitcoin dipping to $67,693.50 shortly after hitting its peak, the overall market sentiment remains positive, with analysts predicting further upward momentum.

One of the primary factors driving Bitcoin’s bullish rally is the influx of capital into Bitcoin ETFs. On October 11, 2024, Bitcoin-related ETFs saw net inflows of $555.9 million in a single day, marking the highest level of inflows since June. These ETFs allow holders to gain exposure to Bitcoin without directly holding the asset, making it a more accessible option for both institutional and retail holders. As of mid-October, the total value of Bitcoin ETF assets had risen to $66.11 billion, underscoring the strong institutional interest in the cryptocurrency.

Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store said that the recent inflows were something he highly called the industry a ‘huge day’ very much in appreciation of the fact that the demand for Bitcoin was rising. For the past year, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted around $20 billion in net assets indicating steady institutional demand. Large holder are referring to Bitcoin asset as an inflation hedge and are increasingly backing the cryptocurrency which also drives its price up.

Even though there has been an increase in inflows into ETFs more demand has been coming into on-chain Bitcoin since March 2024. But this has been offset by increased uptake by those who are in for the long hold; a term popularized as ‘HODLers.’ These are long term wallet holders which also mean they are not trading the Bitcoin frequently as they have confidence in the ability of the coin to hold value.

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode shows that BTC’s liquidity supply – coins held in wallets that do not frequently trade – has risen sharply. It shows that more holders are getting involved with the cryptocurrency to ‘hodl’, which is the bullish narrative of the asset. Let’s assume that by end of October 2024 the number of people with long-term perspective increased significantly and set an absolute record.

Meanwhile, the bitcoin reserve on centralized exchanges has declined to 2.64 million BTC, close to the level of historical lows, as reported by CryptoQuant. This means reduced selling pressure on exchange, as the number of coins held by exchange decreases and available for immediate selling.

This tendency of rising illiquidity and even greater demand from holders with long-term perspectives enhances the Bitcoin’s upward prognosis.
