Big investors, known as Bitcoin whales, have been buying a lot of Bitcoin lately. They have bought around 140,000 Bitcoins in the last three weeks, spending about $6.16 billion. These wealthy individuals have been heavily trading since Bitcoin spot ETFs were legalized in the US.
Whale Purchases Highlight Confidence in Bitcoin’s Future Amidst Market Volatility
Bitcoin spot ETFs are a major cryptocurrency development. These Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) allow investors to invest in Bitcoin without owning it. The authorization of these ETFs after a decade-long regulatory process shows Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a financial instrument.
Meanwhile, whale purchases demonstrate a high conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, notwithstanding market swings. These investors may be buying more Bitcoins at reduced prices during market downturns to improve their value. Bitcoin reached above $48,000, its monthly high. This growth is partly due to U.S. exchange-traded fund investments and financial market risk-taking.
Bitcoin ETFs are receiving more cash, including withdrawals from Grayscale. On Friday, BitMEX Research reported $541.5 million in Bitcoin spot ETF inflows, totaling 11,388 Bitcoins. Bitcoin rose 2.10% in 24 hours to $48,104, according to latest data. If this pattern continues, the cryptocurrency has gained 13% in the past week, making it the sixth consecutive day.
John Bollinger Predicts Bitcoin Momentum to Rise
Famous trader and Bollinger Bands inventor John Bollinger predicted *BTC*. He expects momentum to rise until there is a significant divergence. Additionally, institutional investment drove Bitcoin prices to new heights.
Furthermore, the first Bitcoin ETFs have made significant progress quickly. These Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have amassed $10 billion in assets under management in 20 trading sessions. On January 9, BitMEX Research reported net inflows of $2.7 billion into nine ETFs, with BlackRock’s Bitcoin IBIT fund receiving $4 billion. The Fidelity FBTC fund has almost $3.4 billion in Bitcoin. The ARK 21Shares fund has invested over $1 billion in Bitcoin, a notable achievement. Grayscale’s GBTC fund lost $6.3 billion in 30 days.
Despite this challenge, investors’ careful research is projected to boost Bitcoin ETF volumes in the future. Moreover, Bitcoin whale activity and Bitcoin spot ETF success indicate growing confidence in Bitcoin’s financial future. Although there is growing institutional interest in increasing value of Bitcoin, investors should exercise caution due to the market’s high volatility.
