Bitcoin’s market cycles may stretch longer as ISM manufacturing data remains weak, hinting at extended macro headwinds and slower business recovery. The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) has historically aligned with major peaks in Bitcoin’s market cycles — a pattern that, if repeated, could imply a longer-than-usual cycle this time around. The correlation between the ISM PMI and Bitcoin’s (BTC) price was first popularized by Real Vision’s Raoul Pal and has since gained traction among macro-focused crypto analysts. “All 3 past Bitcoin cycle tops have broadly aligned with this monthly, oscillating index,” analyst Colin Talks Crypto noted, referencing the recurring overlap between Bitcoin’s market highs and the PMI’s cyclical peaks.

Early BTC whales shift to ETFs, giving up keys for TradFi perks, as BlackRock conversions rise and onchain self-custody breaks a 15-year uptrend. Bitcoin’s (BTC) long-time whales, once the fiercest champions of self-custody, may be losing some of their grip on the market as more migrate toward the comforts of traditional finance. Earlier this week, a BlackRock executive revealed that several of Bitcoin’s earliest holders are quietly swapping portions of their spot positions for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), gaining access to broader wealth management tools in the process. While ETFs and spot Bitcoin have traditionally served different audiences, onchain data suggests the rise of spot ETFs may be coming at the expense of self-custody. According to analyst Willy Woo, the amount of self-custodied Bitcoin recently broke a 15-year uptrend, just as ETF adoption accelerated. In this week’s Crypto Biz, we look at Bitcoin whales’ turn toward TradFi, Ripple’s latest public market play, Galaxy Digital’s standout Q3 earn...
