The significant decline in Bitcoin's value since October last year has added to the short history of this cryptocurrency. From its peak of around $126,000 in early 2025, Bitcoin has plummeted nearly 50%, although it has only decreased by 23% this year. Rubén Ayuso, a key figure in quantitative strategies at A&G Private Banking, remarked that such fluctuations are common, noting that Bitcoin has experienced drops of over 50% on nine occasions since its inception.

Ayuso, alongside Román González, is responsible for one of Spain's first and only investment funds focused on crypto assets, known as the Criptomonedas FIL fund, catering to institutional clients and family offices through A&G. Their latest partnership with 21Shares aims to launch a cryptocurrency-based ETP (Exchange-Traded Product) in Frankfurt, showcasing their commitment to the evolving crypto market despite recent downturns.

Amidst the ongoing volatility, financial managers have been asked about the seriousness of Bitcoin's plunge. Experts like Ayuso remain optimistic, seeing these price swings as part of the cryptocurrency's growing pains. The continued interest in crypto investments reflects a strong belief among industry players in the long-term potential of Bitcoin and similar assets, indicating that the market may recover from these setbacks in the future.
