In its market analysis published today, QCP argued that explaining Bitcoin’s weakness solely through developments specific to the crypto sector would be incomplete. The company stated that credit risk in institutions financing AI infrastructure with debt has spread to stocks and crypto assets.
The report highlighted the yields on CoreWeave bonds, which reached approximately 15 percent. According to QCP, this level indicates that investors are demanding a higher risk premium regarding financing costs and debt sustainability.
The company noted that CoreWeave stock fell 10 percent on October 22, indicating that concerns have spread to the broader technology sector.
QCP’s conclusion regarding Bitcoin is noteworthy: instead of appearing as an asset that moves independently of stocks in the current wave, BTC is following the general risk-aversion trend.
The report also addressed energy price pressures originating from the Middle East and financial risks in Europe. It noted that these factors simultaneously complicate growth and inflation expectations.
