- Bitcoin surge sparks Schiff’s warning of dangerous market chain reaction.
- Institutional exposure could worsen any sudden Bitcoin market collapse.
- Schiff sees speculation, not strength, behind Bitcoin’s latest rally.
Bitcoin’s climb past $121,000 this week has sparked excitement among traders and fresh warnings from long-time critics. On Monday, Bitcoin hit $122,335 and stabilized at around $121,186, keeping it within striking distance of record highs.
Veteran gold advocate Peter Schiff says this spike is not a good sign, as he termed the rally a greater number of people getting sucked into the biggest investment scam in history, and said it is not based on value but speculation.
Market analysts observe that a breach of $125,000 may drive Bitcoin to new heights. According to Schiff, the present valuations are based on shaky foundations, and there is still a high probability of a sudden and sharp decline.

Rising Institutional Exposure Could Amplify a Bitcoin Downturn
The cryptocurrency market today is deeply intertwined with traditional finance in ways that increase systemic risk. Exchange-traded funds have amassed large stores of Bitcoin, and various publicly listed companies have placed a fraction of their treasuries in the asset.
This trend implies an increasing correlation between their stock prices and the price fluctuations of Bitcoin, which forms a financial connection that might multiply losses.
According to Peter Schiff, this interdependence is similar to the weaknesses of the 2008 mortgage crisis, where banks and insurers got overextended into complicated financial products. The collapse of a large stock of a proxy to Bitcoin would cause a feedback loop of the loss of share value, loss of Bitcoin value, and a withdrawal of corporate purchases.
The first to experience the burden would be the debt-heavy firms that joined the market at a late stage. With increasing pressure to sell, liquidity may dry up, and losses may increase in both cryptocurrency markets and equities.
While trading remains calm for now, Schiff’s warning underscores the fragility of a market built on tightly linked corporate and crypto interests. A sudden loss of confidence could quickly turn a price correction into a market-wide shock.
