Institutions are buying BTC as retail investors sell, says analyst

Institutions are strengthening their Bitcoin buying while retail investors are selling off their holdings, according to on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr. "Over the past 30 days, a net 63,000 BTC has flowed into spot BTC ETFs," Adler stated. He noted that current weekly ETF inflows are 2.6 times higher than the monthly average, suggesting that institutional buying has intensified this month. In contrast, Adler said short-term holders are selling at a loss at an average rate of 15,500 BTC per day. "Institutions are buying, but retail investors are capitulating," he concluded.
