Citibank has lowered its 12-month Bitcoin price target to $82,000, citing a collapse in ETF demand, weak investor sentiment, and delays in U.S. crypto legislation. The report reflects Wall Street’s collective cooling toward the digital asset narrative. ETFs have experienced seven consecutive weeks of net outflows, with a total of $4.5 billion withdrawn in June. The structural withdrawal of institutional capital, combined with the capital suction effect from AI, is reshaping the liquidity landscape of the crypto market. Citibank’s report merely makes this macro pressure tangible. Notably, while Citibank lowered its target, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a new all-time high. This shift of capital from risk assets to traditional safe havens is a microcosm of the broader tightening liquidity environment. Counter-signals also exist: sovereign wealth funds are increasing their Bitcoin holdings against the trend, and long-term holders’ positions have reached record highs. However, Citibank’s price adjustment serves more as a warning—when Wall Street’s patience begins to wane, the crypto market must find new narrative anchors rather than relying solely on ETF inflows. $btc #defi #etf #ai #blockchain #btc #cryptomarket #crypto #web3 #hashchainnews
