Bitcoin Whale Investors Returns
The ongoing Bitcoin price rebound is heavily influenced by the rising demand from whale and institutional investors, led by the US spot BTC ETF issuers. According to the latest market data, the US spot BTC ETF issuers registered a net cash inflow of about $755 million.
Fidelity’s FBTC led in net cash inflows on Wednesday with about $463 million, closely followed by Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) with a net cash inflow of about $138 million. BlackRock’s IBIT registered a net cash inflow of about $31 million.
Remarkably, none of the US spot Bitcoin ETF issuers registered a net cash outflow on Wednesday, signaling the rising demand from institutional investors.
Consequently, the US spot Bitcoin ETF issuers ended a four-day consecutive cash outflow. Meanwhile, the supply of Bitcoin on centralized exchanges remains at a multi-year low of about 2.20 million.
Market Picture
As Coinspeaker reported, the ongoing Bitcoin price rebound is heavily influenced by renewed interest from institutional investors and retail traders ahead of the 2nd inauguration of Donald Trump. Furthermore, the implementation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve at the state and federal levels has gained significant traction.
Oklahoma and Texas regulators have already proposed a strategic Bitcoin reserve to hedge against global inflation. At the federal level, President-elect Donald Trump announced that his upcoming administration is planning for immediate friendlier SEC rules, clearer token guidelines, and fewer legal restrictions.
The announcement follows the inflation data, which suggested a cooling effect that could yield a Fed rate cut later this month.
Midterm Targets
From a technical analysis standpoint, Bitcoin price is well positioned to reach a new all-time high in the near term, catalyzed by renewed interest from whale investors. Furthermore, the bullish sentiment was confirmed after the Bitcoin price rebounded strongly from the support level of around $90 earlier this week.
