OpenAI's Record-Breaking Raise Could Disrupt Crypto Market

A recent $110 billion capital raise by OpenAI has significant implications for the global financial markets, particularly in relation to cryptocurrency. The move reinforces the United States' investment capacity in artificial intelligence infrastructure, which may indirectly pressure liquidity across the crypto market.

Historically, a decline in investor profitability has been associated with tighter liquidity and reduced risk appetite in the crypto market. As the 90-day Realized Profit/Loss Ratio for Bitcoin falls below 1.0, signaling that realized losses exceed gains, the timing of OpenAI's move is particularly unfavorable for crypto.

Furthermore, the concentration of capital in tech may give equities a relative liquidity edge over digital assets. Data from AMBCrypto indicates that inflows into tech remain structurally intact, while the crypto market experiences a divergence in sentiment and structural resilience.
