Institutional funds from Wall Street are pouring into the Bitcoin market at an unprecedented scale, driving it to challenge $127,000, with many predicting it will surpass $200,000 by the end of the year. BlackRock's IBIT ETF saw a net inflow of $42 million in a single day and has attracted over $50 billion since its launch, becoming one of the fastest-growing products in ETF history.
The shift in institutional attitudes stems from policy easing, increased demand for inflation hedges, and improvements in Bitcoin's network infrastructure. Technically, Bitcoin has formed strong support at $115,000, with a healthy upward RSI and moving averages in a bullish arrangement. Investment methods are also becoming increasingly diverse, covering everything from direct holdings to futures and structured products.
The addition of pension and insurance funds has enhanced market stability, and the trend of long-term capital inflows may further accelerate after 401(k) plans open up to crypto investments. Global institutional layouts are also accelerating, especially in regions facing significant inflationary pressures, where Bitcoin is seen as a store of value. The contrast between limited supply and ongoing buying provides lasting momentum for price increases.
