Market sentiment around the reserve is intensifying. According to Polymarket data, the likelihood of establishing a Bitcoin reserve has increased from 24% to 32%. This news has sparked debate in states like Utah, Arizona, and Ohio, while others such as South Dakota and Montana remain skeptical of such initiatives. The evolving discussion highlights the potential long-term impact on Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader digital asset market.
Amid the regulatory developments, exchange reserves are falling sharply. Data from Moon Whales and CryptoQuant shows a significant decline as investors shift their holdings to private wallets for long-term storage, signaling a possible supply squeeze. A reduction in exchange reserves often suggests bullish sentiment, as decreased supply combined with rising demand could push prices higher, albeit with increased volatility due to thinner liquidity.
Despite these optimistic signals, Bitcoin’s price remains under pressure, trading at around $84,557.57—a 1.89% drop in the past 24 hours per CoinMarketCap. With the upcoming White House Crypto Summit and growing institutional interest, traders are watching closely to see if broader adoption can stabilize the market and counterbalance the current downward momentum.
