Analyst: Bitcoin now in an era dominated by institutional investors

Bitcoin has entered an era led by institutional investors, according to an analysis by CryptoQuant contributor Axel Adler Jr. He noted that while the volume of retail transactions, defined as trades between $0 and $1,000, remains near its historical average at 700,000 per day, its share of total volume has fallen significantly. This proportion has dropped from 1.8% in 2021 to a current 0.48%, which Adler suggests indicates the growing dominance of large institutions in the market.
