Bitcoin’s Price Stability Driven by Institutional Buying Amidst Market Volatility

Despite volatility in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (BTC) has remained relatively stable around the $80,000 mark. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas attributes this stability to a shift in ownership patterns: institutional investors and corporate giants are now purchasing BTC at a steady pace, replacing smaller-scale speculative trading. 2025 has seen robust inflows into Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) experiencing particularly strong performance, surpassing the top 1% of all ETFs year to date.
