  • Bitcoin Seen as Revolutionary as Smartphone by CoinDesk Amid Market Volatility
    June 20, 2026, 12:16 PM EDT. David LaValle, president of indices and data at CoinDesk, compares bitcoin's disruptive potential to that of the smartphone, urging investors not to discount the cryptocurrency despite recent downturns. Bitcoin has dropped nearly 50% from its October 2025 peak of $126,279, falling below $65,000 this week amid a 'crypto winter'. LaValle views the current market lull as a sign of credibility rather than an endpoint. Todd Rosenbluth of TMX VettaFi notes steady investor interest in bitcoin ETFs like iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which recently saw net inflows despite the broader price decline. A VettaFi survey shows mixed investor sentiment, with some seeing the downturn as a buying opportunity. Notably, major bitcoin ETFs have lost around 40% in value over the past year.
