AlpherSun, November 2, 2025 at 3:40 PM GMT+1 3 min readIt's not exactly news to frustrated bitcoin (BTC) bulls that risk assets across the planet for months have been recording what seem like daily record highs while the price action in BTC remains rather muted."What if everyone is looking at this wrong," asks longtime traditional finance asset manager Jordi Visser in a heavily shared (1.5M views on X and counting) weekend essay titled "Bitcoin’s Silent IPO: Why This Consolidation Isn’t What You Think."While bitcoin never had a traditional IPO, the factors liming price gains are nearly exactly the same as those which cause poor price performance in stock IPOs, argues Visser.Tradfi IPOs and the months that follow, reminds Visser — particularly in tech — are major liquidity events for early investors."Early-stage investors take enormous risks," wrote Visser. "If the investment succeeds, they deserve enormous rewards. But eventually, and this is crucial, they need to realize those gains. They need liquidity. They need an exit. They need to diversify."The examples, particularly in tech, are legion, but consider the Facebook (now Meta) IPO of 2012. The offering at $38 per share raised $16 billion at a valuation of $104 billion — quaint numbers today, but staggering amounts at the time. One year later, the stock was 30% lower, with pundits questioning Mark Zuckerberg's leadership.More likely than missteps by Zuck, it was early investors — be they his Harvard buddies, or Silicon Valley types, or the carpenters who framed out Facebook's first offices (who took pay in shares rather than cash) — using public markets to realize life-changing profits.Importantly, says Visser, the early investors don't hit the bid all at once. "They’re methodically distributing their positions. They’re being careful. They don’t want to crater the price. They’re patient. They’ve waited years for this moment. They can wait a few more months to do it right."The result, he says: "A sideways grind that drives everyone crazy." Sound familiar?"The on-chain data tells a clear story if you know how to read it," says Visser, turning to bitcoin. "Old coins, coins that haven’t moved in years, some dormant since the single-digit price days, are suddenly active."The ETFs, the institutional adoption, the friendly regulatory environment ... this created IPO-like conditions for bitcoin's early believers."For years, the liquidity simply didn’t exist," he wrote. "Try selling $100 million of bitcoin in 2015. You’d crater the price. Try selling $1 billion in 2019. Same problem. The market couldn’t absorb it."Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P 5006,851.97 +11.77 (+0.17%)Dow 3047,336.68 -226.19 (-0.48%)Nasdaq23,834.72 +109.77 (+0.46%)Russell 20002,471.24 -8.14 (-0.33%)VIX17.17 -0.27 (-1.55%)Gold4,013.70 +17.20 (+0.43%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersCIFR Cipher Mining Inc. 22.76 +4.11 (+22.04%)AMKR Amkor Technology, Inc. 37.84 +5.56 (+17.22%)LUMN Lumen Technologies, Inc. 11.83 +1.55 (+15.08%)IDXX IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. 722.94 +93.43 (+14.84%)FRPT Freshpet, Inc. 56.25 +7.04 (+14.31%)Top losersQURE uniQure N.V. 34.29 -33.40 (-49.34%)RGC Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited 13.56 -3.09 (-18.56%)KMB Kimberly-Clark Corporation 102.27 -17.44 (-14.57%)UUUU Energy Fuels Inc. 17.80 -2.71 (-13.21%)QS QuantumScape Corporation 16.21 -2.23 (-12.09%)Most activeKVUE Kenvue Inc. 16.14 +1.77 (+12.32%)NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 206.88 +4.39 (+2.17%)CIFR Cipher Mining Inc. 22.76 +4.11 (+22.04%)PFE Pfizer Inc. 24.66 +0.01 (+0.04%)ONDS Ondas Holdings Inc. 6.15 -0.29 (-4.50%)Earnings eventsMy earnings eventsEarnings eventsTrending tickersPLTR Palantir Technologies Inc. 207.18 +6.71 (+3.35%)HIMS Hims & Hers Health, Inc. 44.39 -1.07 (-2.35%)BTC-USD Bitcoin USD 106,065.70 -4,146.54 (-3.76%)NVTS Navitas Semiconductor Corporation 12.25 -1.21 (-8.99%)KMB Kimberly-Clark Corporation 102.27 -17.44 (-14.57%)Top economic events
