Corrections were "inevitable" owing to significant leverage, according to Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz's recent warning. He remains adamant, nevertheless, that Bitcoin will recoup its $100,000 valuation in due time, U.Today shares.

"You're right that Bitcoin is currently 28% above its 50-day moving average, and that's high. But in prior cycles we routinely hit 40%+ and stayed there," he stated in a recent social media post.
