Institutional BTC buying remains solid, but rate cut fears pose risk

A solid buying base for Bitcoin is forming among institutions, according to an analysis from CF Benchmarks researcher Mark Pilipczuk, cited by DL News. He said that demand from ETFs and institutions remains robust, pointing to over $1.5 billion in inflows to spot Bitcoin ETFs this month. Pilipczuk views Strategy's recent purchase of an additional $1.6 billion in BTC as part of this bullish institutional outlook. However, DL News added that if the Fed adopts a cautious stance on interest rate cuts this year due to inflation concerns, it could weigh on risk assets like Bitcoin.
