AI is draining crypto liquidity? Wintermute warns: capital rotation is reshaping Bitcoin and the crypto market

February 11 News, crypto market maker Wintermute pointed out in its latest market commentary that the AI investment boom has been ongoing for several months, drawing away available global funds and weakening the growth momentum of Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market.

Wintermute stated that the current market is experiencing a clear sector rotation, with funds flowing heavily into AI stocks, which has compressed the liquidity available for inflows into the crypto space. Over the past year, driven by demand for chips, cloud computing, and automation, many leading AI companies saw stock price increases of over 200%, attracting significant institutional allocations. In contrast, Bitcoin and mainstream crypto assets, while still above the lows of the previous cycle, have lagged significantly behind the AI sector in terms of gains.
