BTC rebound fails to spur institutional demand, says XYO founder

Institutional demand for Bitcoin remains sluggish despite its recent rebound, according to an analysis. In an interview with Decrypt, XYO founder Markus Levin said that while BTC has seen a partial relief rally as the risk premium from recent geopolitical tensions has largely dissipated, this does not solve the market's core problem of weak institutional demand. Levin suggested that investors are unlikely to take a potential U.S.-Iran agreement for granted until it is officially signed. He argued that a peace treaty alone would be insufficient to draw institutional capital back into the market, noting that historically, rallies driven solely by positive news have not been sustainable.
