The cryptocurrency market has been under severe bearish pressure in the past 
week, with the price of Bitcoin falling below this year’s opening price. At 
the same time, other large-cap assets have struggled, registering double-digit 
losses over the past few days. In recent months, conversations have swirled 
around the death of the typical four-year cycle and a shift in the Bitcoin 
market structure, with the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) providing fresh, 
consistent liquidity. However, the latest on-chain data shows that BTC ETF 
investors could be under pressure in the coming days. $79,300: The Pain 
Threshold For BTC ETF Buyers In a recent post on the CryptoQuant platform, IT 
Tech shared an insight into the current Bitcoin market dynamics and how it 
could affect the relatively new set of investors known as BTC ETF buyers. 
According to the on-chain analyst, these exchange-traded fund holders are 
“about to face their first real test.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Shows A Clear 
Momentum Reset — Is A Trend Reversal Coming? The relevant metric here is the 
Bitcoin US ETF Realized Price, which tracks the average purchase price of BTC 
held by United States-based exchange-traded funds. This indicator offers 
insights into the profitability of institutional investors and holders. IT 
Tech, however, made an interesting assertion, calling out the idea that ETF 
capital inflows are “Institutional Money.” The crypto analyst noted that most 
value added through US-based exchange-traded funds is mostly from retail 
investors buying through their brokerage accounts. As observed in the chart 
above, the Bitcoin US Exchange-Traded Funds Realized Price currently stands 
around $79,300. IT Tech said that the ETF buyers often feel “smart” when above 
the realized price, while they feel panic (as seen with most retail investors) 
when below their cost basis. According to the on-chain analyst, these ETF 
investors are not accustomed to Bitcoin price declines. Hence, this group of 
exchange-traded fund holders or “new retail,” who have not been tested before, 
could enter a phase of panic selling should they go underwater. Currently, the 
next significant support for the market leader is marked at around $82,000, 
where several spot investors have their cost basis. Ultimately, this 
evaluation makes $79,300 another crucial level to watch should the price of 
Bitcoin suffer further downturn. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, 
the price of BTC stands at around $84,500, reflecting an over 2% decline in 
the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the flagship 
cryptocurrency is down by more than 11% in the past week. Related Reading:

Robert Kiyosaki has moved a chunk of his Bitcoin into businesses that pay him 
now. Reports have disclosed he sold roughly $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin, 
cashing out after years of saying he was bullish on the cryptocurrency.

He did not say he was exiting crypto; instead, he described the shift as 
turning paper gains into steady income. Taking Profits For Cash Flow According 
to his post on X, Kiyosaki said he first bought the coins when Bitcoin traded 
around $6,000. He sold the recent batch at about $90,000 per coin. He recently 
predicted that Bitcoin will hit a $250k price tag. He told followers the 
proceeds will be used to buy two surgery centers and a billboard advertising 
business. The &#8216;Rich Dad Poor Dad&#8217; author says he expects those businesses to 
produce about $27,500/month in tax-free income by early next year. That 
income, he said, will be used to buy more crypto over time. PRACTICING WHAT I 
TEACH: I sold $2.25 million in Bitcoin for approximately $90,000. I purchased 
the Bitcoin for $6,000 a coin years ago. With the cash from Bitcoin I am 
purchasing two surgery centers and investing in a Bill Board business. I 
estimate my $2.25 million… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) November 21, 
2025 Market Context And Timing Bitcoin’s price has been volatile. The coin 
briefly fell into the low $80,000 range during the same period Kiyosaki made 
the sale public. Traders have been watching big names for clues about 
sentiment. Kiyosaki’s move came as some investors were taking profits and 
others were buying dips. His message was simple: turn gains into income now, 
then use that income to accumulate later. Why This Matters To Investors 
Reports have disclosed Kiyosaki still expects higher prices over the long run. 
He has made bullish targets in the past, and he has said he still believes in 
crypto’s upside. Yet selling part of a holding while keeping the rest sends 
two signals at once: confidence in future gains and a preference for 
predictable cash flow today. For some investors, that dual message will seem 
cautious. For others, it looks like smart money management. Business Details 
And Tax Notes Kiyosaki described the new purchases as income vehicles. The 
claim that the monthly return will be tax-free depends on how those businesses 
are structured and where they are held. Tax rules vary by country and by the 
legal form of the business. That means the “tax-free” outcome he mentioned may 
not be the same for every buyer or investor. Related Reading: Trump’s WLFI

Some market watchers saw the move as a routine rebalancing. Others took it as 
a headline that could influence sentiment in the short run. Whether a sale of 
this size by a public figure will change the price permanently is unclear. 
Prices are driven by many factors: macro data, regulatory signals, whale 
moves, and investor mood. Kiyosaki did not abandon his bullish stance. He 
turned a part of his crypto gains into assets that, he says, will pay him 
regularly and help him buy more crypto later. Featured image from Getty
