Two Prime CEO: Bitcoin's rebound still has room, and the short covering of volatility will provide additional momentum

According to CoinDesk, Alexander Blume, founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency asset management company Two Prime, stated that Bitcoin's recent rebound still has room to grow, mainly because institutional investors who have sold volatility are facing position pressure. If the price continues to rise, short sellers being forced to cover their positions will further fuel the upward trend. He pointed out that the current market structure is healthy, with funding rates not showing signs of overheating. The rebound is not driven by speculation, and the continuous inflow of spot ETFs and corporate buying provides substantial support.Although implied volatility has risen from 23%-24% to over 40, it remains low by historical standards. If call option sellers are forced to close their positions, it could accelerate the upward movement. Blume believes that if the macro environment stabilizes, BTC has already formed a bottom around $60,000, with the biggest risk coming from a complete collapse of risk assets. The generally pessimistic market sentiment means that even moderate positive news could have an outsized impact.On the mining front, MARA recently chose to collateralize its BTC holdings to obtain a $600 million loan from Coinbase and Two Prime, rather than selling directly, in order to retain upside potential. Mining companies are diversifying their AI transformation strategies, with Cipher Mining and TeraWulf actively shifting towards AI infrastructure, while CleanSpark and MARA explore AI and power sectors while maintaining their original businesses. Blume expects the Trump administration to push for interest rate cuts, and adjustments to the PCE index may lower inflation readings, which could improve interest rate prospects.

first_img Southeast Asia's crypto financing rebounds to 680 million USD, with investors focusing on mature companies

The latest report from the market intelligence platform Tracxn shows that since 2026, the Southeast Asian blockchain industry has accumulated $680 million in equity financing, more than double the $319 million for the entire year of 2025. However, this round of recovery is mainly driven by a few mature companies: only 25 rounds of financing were completed this year, compared to 46 rounds in 2025 and a peak of 206 rounds in 2022; the $400 million Series D financing of the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com accounted for nearly 60% of the total.From a segmented perspective, crypto financial services are the biggest beneficiaries, receiving a total of $498 million in financing this year (19 rounds), a year-on-year increase of 48.4%; tokenization platforms received $114 million, and decentralized application development platforms received $77 million. Among the 3,957 blockchain companies tracked by Tracxn, 1,323 have received equity financing, but only 167 have entered Series A and beyond, 50 have entered Series B, 14 have entered Series C, and only 4 have entered Series D and beyond.In terms of geography, Singapore dominates the Southeast Asian crypto investment market, accounting for 82.5% of the region's cumulative blockchain financing amount of $6.2 billion, and has 2,285 tracked companies, while Jakarta, ranked second, accounts for only 3%. In terms of exits, there have been 43 acquisitions and 4 IPOs in the region, including SBI Group's acquisition of the Singapore exchange CoinHako and Bybit's acquisition of NOBI. Southeast Asia has produced 6 blockchain unicorns to date, including Sygnum, Bitkub, Sky Mavis, and Amber Group.
