Andy Baehr, GSR's managing director of **** et management, says bitcoin's $80,000 breakout marks a new market regime. He argues the crypto trading firm watched a stagnant summer flip into real momentum within days.
Baehr spent 25 years on Wall Street derivatives desks, including Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, before crossing into digital **** ets. He served as the Executive Director of Equity Derivatives at Morgan Stanley between 2006 and 2007.
Bitcoin (BTC) briefly , topping out at $reclaimed $80,000 this week, topping out at $81,272 on Monday. It marked the first time since May that the pioneer crypto tested this threshold.
Baehr had urged patience through what he called a "super slow summer" of thin volumes and muted price action. The stagnation was measurable. Digital **** et funds bled a record $8 billion across eight straight weeks of ETF withdrawals before demand returned.
Then the mood turned fast. News of Treasury buybacks in long-dated bonds arrived alongside a planned White House gathering of crypto executives. Industry leaders were meeting in Jackson Hole as the headlines hit, Baehr recalled.
