Bitcoin onder 54.000 euro (57.000 dollar) na slechtste maand sinds 2022

bitcoin onder 54.000 euro (57.000 dollar) na slechtste maand sinds 2022

De waarde van de bitcoin is woensdag verder gezakt tot onder de grens van 60.000 dollar. De bekendste en grootste cryptomunt ter wereld kende in april al de slechtste maand (-15%) sinds de ineenstorting van cryptobeurs FTX in november 2022. Vandaag doen de ‘bears’ er nog een schepje bovenop en zakt de koers onder de 54.000 euro, oftewel 57.000 dollar.

Toch lijkt er voor langetermijninvesteerders van het ‘digitale goud’ niet zoveel aan de hand te zijn. De prijs ligt nog altijd ver boven de koers op 1 januari 2023 (16.400 dollar) en 1 januari 2024 (42.500 dollar).

De koersval wordt onder meer veroorzaakt door het vooruitzicht dat de Amerikaanse rente langer hoog zal blijven. De markt schat nu in dat de eerste renteverlaging van de Federal Reserve waarschijnlijk pas op 18 september of 7 november gaat plaatsvinden, terwijl er nog niet lang geleden vanuit werd gegaan dat de Amerikaanse centrale bank deze stap al in de lente zou doorvoeren.

Investeerders in digitale munten hoopten dat de inflatie in de grootste economie ter wereld inmiddels voldoende zou zijn afgekoeld. De Amerikaanse centrale bank, die later op de dag vergadert over het rentebeleid, heeft echter al laten weten dat de inflatie nog te hoog is om de rente te verlagen. Hogere rentetarieven zijn doorgaans negatief voor beleggingen in digitale munten, waarop geen rente wordt ontvangen.
