According to André Dragosch, Bitcoin's recent price surge can be attributed to a combination of reaccelerating net inflows into exchange-traded products (ETPs) and the liquidation of short futures positions. Dragosch dismissed theories suggesting a significant global hash rate decline following recent geopolitical events, emphasizing that such claims lack evidence. He also highlighted the role of Iran in the BTC market, noting that the country's mining activities, previously contributing billions to the market, have ceased due to power grid failures. This cessation has potentially reduced selling pressure, contributing to Bitcoin's upward momentum.
