Jim Cramer Raises Doubts About Bitcoin’s Future
Bitcoin’s recent struggles to maintain its value above $40,000 have led to skepticism about its future performance. Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” has expressed doubts about Bitcoin, particularly in light of the underwhelming market response to the introduction of Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
Unlikely that Bitcoin finds its footing

Cramer’s analysis, shared on social media, highlighted concerns about the rapid surge in Bitcoin’s value before the ETF launch and the subsequent lackluster market response. These concerns proved accurate as Bitcoin’s price dropped below $41,000.
Grayscale, a major player in the digital asset space, recently deposited a significant amount of Bitcoin (15,308 BTC worth around $623.8 million) to Coinbase Prime. This move is part of a larger trend since the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, with Grayscale transferring a total of 63,991 BTC (valued at approximately $2.68 billion) to the same destination.
This action by Grayscale has attracted attention from analysts who suggest it could contribute to increased bearishness in the market and profit-taking on GBTC.
Inverse Cramer ETF Sees Gains Amid Bitcoin Dip
Meanwhile, prominent financial analysts like Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz and SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci have been influential voices in the Bitcoin discourse. Interestingly, the “Inverse Cramer ETF,” a fund designed to take opposite positions to Cramer’s recommendations, has seen an increase in value. The ETF has risen by 1.26% and is now trading at $20.14.
Peter Schiff’s recent tweet also sheds light on the current state of Bitcoin ETFs. Schiff points out that all spot Bitcoin ETFs are now in bear markets, experiencing a drop of 20% or more from their peak. He specifically mentions the significant loss in the value of $FBTC, down by 32%, suggesting a symbolic change in the Vaneck Bitcoin Trust’s ticker symbol from HODL to GTFO.
Hot Take: Mixed Sentiments Surround Bitcoin’s Future
Bitcoin’s future performance is currently under scrutiny, with Jim Cramer expressing doubts amidst its struggle to maintain value above $40,000. The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs has not yielded the expected positive impact on the market, leading to a reassessment of earlier bullish predictions. While some analysts highlight concerns about the bearish trend and profit-taking, others point out that inverse strategies like the “Inverse Cramer ETF” have seen gains amid the Bitcoin dip. The cryptocurrency market remains unpredictable, with mixed sentiments and contrasting opinions among financial experts.
