ETFs, institutional flows, and macro trends—why $BTC is rewriting the rules in 2025.📈 Bitcoin Crosses $100K: A Historic Milestone

After years of volatility, skepticism, and regulatory drama, Bitcoin ($BTC) finally did it—crossed the $100,000 mark in May 2025. The move isn't just symbolic. It's a sign of Bitcoin's institutional maturity and a reflection of massive inflows from traditional finance.

"Bitcoin is no longer an experiment. It's a financial juggernaut," said BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, whose firm now holds over $58B in BTC via spot ETFs.

🪜 The ETF Effect: Opening the Floodgates

The biggest catalyst behind the rally? Bitcoin ETFs.

  • Approved in early 2024 by the U.S. SEC.

  • By Q2 2025, these ETFs have absorbed over $65 billion in assets.

  • Weekly inflows average $1.8B, with single-day spikes reaching $422M.

Top Performer: BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is leading the charge.

📃 Institutions Are All In

Gone are the days when crypto was dismissed by Wall Street. Now:

  • Pension funds are allocating to BTC.

  • University endowments are diversifying with crypto.

  • Hedge funds are building $BTC positions to hedge macro risk.

This means more long-term holders and reduced volatility. As of May 2025, 72% of Bitcoin supply is held by wallets dormant for 6+ months.

  • Inflation uncertainty and central bank balance sheet expansion continue.

  • Gold rose ~30% YoY, but Bitcoin outperformed with 60%+ gains.

  • BTC’s volatility is now comparable to gold, per Bloomberg reports.
