Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is experiencing the same kind of shock traditional markets see once in a generation — only Bitcoiners endure it every 18 months, says Anthony Pompliano, who argues the current correction is entirely normal.

What Happened: In a new CNBC interview, Pompliano explained that Bitcoin has logged 21 drawdowns of more than 30% over the past decade, including seven drops exceeding 50%. For long-term holders, this isn't chaos, it's routine.

What is unusual, he noted, is the wave of traditional finance investors who aren't accustomed to such volatility, especially heading into year-end when bonus season, redemptions, and portfolio reshuffling amplify sell pressure.

Pompliano says the leverage reset has already happened, eliminating the risk of cascading liquidations. He continues to accumulate BTC and expects a period of consolidation followed by a steady grind higher.

What's Next: Pompliano argues the current 35% drawdown fits cleanly within Bitcoin's historical norms and is more consistent with a bottoming phase than the start of an 80% bear-market collapse.

He points out:

• Volatility has already been cut in half versus previous cycles

• Extreme fear readings (BTC at 8, equities at 6) signal capitulation

• October's liquidation wave flushed out excess leverage

Looking ahead, he believes Bitcoin can still deliver 20%–35% annual returns over the next decade, outperforming equities even if its previous 240x decade-long rally won't repeat.

On altcoins, Pompliano notes that Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) haven't led this cycle the way they did in past euphoric blow-offs.

Wall Street's adoption started with Bitcoin, but he expects institutional attention to broaden over time, with BTC remaining the dominant store-of-value asset.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Worthy Bonds

For those seeking fixed-income style returns without Wall Street complexity, Worthy Property Bonds offers SEC-qualified, interest-bearing bonds starting at just $10. Investors earn a fixed 7% annual return, with funds deployed to small U.S. businesses. The bonds are fully liquid, meaning you can cash out anytime, making them attractive for conservative investors looking for steady, passive income.

IRA Financial

Self-directed investors looking to take greater control of their retirement savings may consider IRA Financial. The platform enables you to use a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) to invest in alternative assets such as real estate, private equity, or even crypto. This flexibility empowers retirement savers to go beyond traditional stocks and bonds, building diversified portfolios that align with their long-term wealth strategies.

Moomoo Idle Cash

Moomoo isn't just for trading — it's also one of the most attractive places to park cash. New users can earn a promotional 8.1% APY on uninvested cash, combining a 3.85% base rate with a 4.25% booster once activated. On top of that, eligible new users can also score up to $1,000 in free Nvidia stock—but the real draw here is the ability to earn bank-beating interest rates without having to move into riskier assets.

American Hartford Gold

For investors concerned about inflation or seeking portfolio protection, American Hartford Gold provides a simple way to buy and hold physical gold and silver within an IRA or direct delivery. With a minimum investment of $10,000, the platform caters to those looking to preserve wealth through precious metals while maintaining the option to diversify retirement accounts. It's a favored choice for conservative investors who want tangible assets that historically hold value during uncertain markets.
