Cantor Fitzgerald indicates bitcoin bear market may be nearing an end

Cantor Fitzgerald's analysis indicates that the bitcoin bear market could be nearing its end, encouraging investors to focus on networks with sustainable growth.

Cantor Fitzgerald, a major Wall Street bank, has suggested that the cryptocurrency market is approaching the final stages of its current bear market. Analysts believe that bitcoin's historical trading trends indicate a possible market bottom could occur soon.

In a report led by Gareth Gacetta, the bank noted that bitcoin has been in a downtrend since peaking in 2025, falling over 51% since then. They pointed out that historically, bitcoin tends to bottom out approximately 384 days after reaching a peak, which, if this pattern holds, could mean a low point by late October.

As of now, bitcoin is trading around $59,500, and the report underscores the need for investors to shift their focus from speculative assets to those that can demonstrate sustainable value growth. The recent downturn in the crypto market has been attributed to ETF outflows, high interest rates, and a reduced risk appetite among investors.

While bitcoin has faced significant challenges, the report highlights that sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi) continue to show resilience. However, Cantor asserts that future winners in the market will be those projects that can convert user activity into lasting value through revenue generation.

Additionally, the emergence of digital asset treasury firms is seen as a noteworthy investment opportunity. These firms are transitioning from merely holding crypto assets to actively participating in the market, developing infrastructure, and providing institutional access. Cantor Fitzgerald has initiated coverage of companies like Forward Industries and Cypherpunk Technologies, recommending them as promising investments.
