💰 Lower Bitcoin miner revenue after halving will be bolstered by Ordinals fees: Grayscale

This suggests that while scarcity does sometimes influence price, other factors also play a role," the analysts wrote, citing broader macroeconomic conditions as one factor.

When the SSR dips, it implies a heightened buying power for the current stablecoin supply to purchase Bitcoin.
