The cryptocurrency market is experiencing major turbulence. Within just a few weeks, the global market cap has melted away, erasing billions of dollars<\/strong> in value. Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC), the sector’s locomotive, has suffered a severe correction, dropping below $64,000<\/strong>, far from its all-time high (ATH) from late 2025 that nearly touched $126,000. This brutal drop is dragging down the majority of altcoins with it, plunging the market into a palpable bearish<\/strong> atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Liquidations are cascading across trading platforms, affecting both retail traders and overexposed institutions. Macroeconomic uncertainty and fears of a prolonged “crypto<\/a> winter” are pushing many holders to capitulate. Yet it’s precisely in this context of extreme fear that certain whales<\/strong> and savvy investors decide to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n True to his reputation, Patrick Bet-David (PBD)<\/strong> isn’t giving in to panic. In a recent statement, the investor confirmed he’s taken advantage of this massive retracement<\/strong> to accumulate more XRP<\/a><\/strong> and Bitcoin. His logic follows the “Dollar Cost Averaging” (DCA) approach: smoothing out his entry price by buying progressively during dips.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPBD’s Strategy: Accumulate When Fear Reigns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
