Bitcoin and Crypto Entering ‘Existential Crisis’ As DeFi Moves From Niche Experiment To Wall Street: Arca CIO

The chief investment officer at a digital asset investment firm is raising new questions over the future of crypto for one key reason.

Arca CIO Jeff Dorman says he believes Bitcoin (BTC) and many other digital assets are unlikely to see values increase from the explosion in the tokenization of assets.

Dorman warns there may only be a few beneficiaries from the latest big trend in blockchain use cases such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) plan to launch a tokenized securities platform for 24/7 trading and stablecoin-based funding.

Says Dorman,

“Crypto really in an existential crisis now. Everything we thought would happen on blockchain is now happening, but little if any of the value accrues to any stocks or tokens in our ecosystem. Fat protocol thesis is long dead. BTC has nothing to do with ANY of the actual blockchain growth engines: no exposure to growth of stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi) or real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

Continue to think a handful of DeFi tokens, token launchpad companies, and GLXY [Galaxy Digital] stock are the only clear winners from this trend – when all assets are on on-chain, DeFi goes from niche experiment to the full financial plumbing engine.”

However, macro analyst and institutional crypto veteran Dan Tapiero disagrees with Dorman.

“Remarkable how wrong this is.”

In response to Tapiero’s criticism, Dorman double downs on his view.

“Where do you see value accruing from all of the newfound use cases of blockchain? We’re seeing lots of tokenization and heavy adoption of stables and the value is accruing to intermediaries like BlackRock, Securitize and Tether.”

Bitcoin is trading for $88,992 at time of writing, down 1.9% in the last 24 hours.

Microsoft Corp. $MSFT blue box area offers a buying opportunity

The post Microsoft Corp. $MSFT blue box area offers a buying opportunity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In today’s article, we’ll examine the recent performance of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory. We’ll review how the rally from the April 07, 2025 low unfolded as a 5-wave impulse followed by a 3-swing correction (ABC) and discuss our forecast for the next move. Let’s dive into the structure and expectations for this stock. Five wave impulse structure + ABC + WXY correction $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 9.04.2025 In the 8-hour Elliott Wave count from Sep 04, 2025, we saw that $MSFT completed a 5-wave impulsive cycle at red III. As expected, this initial wave prompted a pullback. We anticipated this pullback to unfold in 3 swings and find buyers in the equal legs area between $497.02 and $471.06 This setup aligns with a typical Elliott Wave correction pattern (ABC), in which the market pauses briefly before resuming its primary trend. $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 7.14.2025 The update, 10 days later, shows the stock finding support from the equal legs area as predicted allowing traders to get risk free. The stock is expected to bounce towards 525 – 532 before deciding if the bounce is a connector or the next leg higher. A break into new ATHs will confirm the latter and can see it trade higher towards 570 – 593 area. Until then, traders should get risk free and protect their capital in case of a WXY double correction. Conclusion In conclusion, our Elliott Wave analysis of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) suggested that it remains supported against April 07, 2025 lows and bounce from the blue box area. In the meantime, keep an eye out for any corrective pullbacks that may offer entry opportunities. By applying Elliott Wave Theory, traders can better anticipate the structure of upcoming moves and enhance risk management in volatile markets.
