비트코인 도미넌스 20억 달러 유입으로 강력 반등... 시장 판도 뒤집힐 것인가
암호화폐 시장에 20억 달러 규모의 자금이 쏟아지면서 비트코인 도미넌스가 급반등했습니다. 이번 자본 유입으로 시장 구조가 완전히 뒤바뀔 조짐을 보이고 있습니다.
도미넌스 회복 의미
비트코인이 전체 암호화폐 시장에서 차지하는 지배력이 다시 강화되고 있습니다. 이는 알트코인 계절에 대한 기대를 잠재우면서 시장의 주도권이 다시 BTC로 돌아오고 있음을 시사합니다.시장 영향력
20억 달러의 대규모 자금이 비트코인으로 직접 유입되면서 기관 투자자들의 신뢰 회복을 보여줍니다. 전통 금융 시장이 여전히 변동성에 흔들리는 동안, 디지털 자산은 점점 더 안정적인 하드 자산으로 자리매김하고 있습니다.앞으로 전망
이번 움직임은 단순한 반등이 아닌 시장 패러다임의 전환을 예고합니다. 암호화폐 시장이 성숙해질수록 비트코인의 '디지털 금'으로서의地位는 더욱 공고해질 전망입니다. 전통 금융권이 여전히 규제 논의에 매몰되어 있는 사이, 실제 자본은 이미 미래로 이동하고 있습니다.Apple opens more stores and changes its management focus
Apple opened two new physical stores this week in Bangalore and Pune, adding to its slow but steady retail build-out. It’s not stopping there.
There are already plans to open another store in Noida, right outside Delhi, and one more in Mumbai sometime early next year. These are all part of the same strategy, take more control over its product ecosystem and connect directly with local customers.
Back in 2023, Apple reorganized how it runs its global sales ops. India got pulled out and became its own region. That MOVE shows how serious they are about making this market a priority.
The country has a rising middle class, more people getting into premium phones, and higher income levels than before. According to Tarun Pathak from Counterpoint Research, iPhones now make up around 7% of all smartphones in India.
Apple couldn’t set up shop physically for a long time because of strict local sourcing laws. The government used to require companies to make a certain percentage of their goods locally before opening stores.
Once that policy got looser, Apple jumped in. The online store went live in 2020, and by 2023, Tim Cook was in India cutting ribbons for the first two brick-and-mortar stores, one in Mumbai, the other in New Delhi.
India becomes a big part of Apple’s supply chain
India isn’t just where Apple wants to sell more stuff, it’s also where more of its stuff is getting made. Right now, one in every five iPhones is manufactured in India.
The plan is to increase that even more and use the country as a major base to ship products to the US. There are currently five factories in India working on iPhone production, including two new ones. This change is part of the effort to rely less on China, especially as tension keeps building in that region.
Even with all this progress, prices in India are still steep. Taxes jack up the cost of entry-level iPhones. For example, the iPhone 16 base model goes for 79,900 rupees, which is about $906. That’s higher than the $799 price tag in the US for the same device.
Apple is trying to solve that problem through other means. They’re giving student discounts, offering trade-ins for older phones, and partnering with banks to give credit card cashback deals.
All of that has pushed more people to buy. Cook has made it clear multiple times that India is one of Apple’s fastest-growing markets.
The fact that the company has been able to expand its retail presence and get more phones into Indian hands proves that. It’s not just about selling phones, it’s about making India part of the long game, both as a customer base and as a factory floor.
China, Apple’s largest international market, is becoming less predictable. Sales there went up 4.4% in the June quarter, but that was the first time in two years.
Plus, Apple’s losing ground to local competitors like Xiaomi. India, on the other hand, still has space to grow. That contrast is part of why Apple is turning its eyes south and not looking back.
