Rising Institutional Involvement Drives Market Dynamics
Market analysts observe that substantial Bitcoin inflows could push prices higher. Citi analysts predict further price increases with additional inflows. However, certain experts caution against potential corrections, considering current market dynamics. According to Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, "ETF adoption has just begun... Wall Street’s entry may last 5–10 years, with banks like JP Morgan and Standard Chartered steadily deploying capital."
The increased institutional activity has led to fluctuations in Bitcoin's price, leaving other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum with increased volatility. Some analysts point to the potential for a longer supercycle, influenced by ETF-driven demand.
Institutional Demand Shifts Bitcoin Cycle Narrative
Previous Bitcoin peaks were primarily driven by halving cycles. Now, institutional demand could extend Bitcoin's rally beyond typical cycles. Such trends underscore the evolving market dynamics.
According to experts, the entry of major financial institutions may influence the market over several years. Samson Mow highlights a possible price pullback, given the recent surge in altcoins, suggesting market maturity.
