Institutional Demand Outpaces Bitcoin Supply After Spot ETF Launch

The launch of U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) has fueled a surge in institutional demand for the cryptocurrency, with institutions purchasing more than twice the newly mined supply over recent months. The data shows that institutions have accumulated over 529,000 BTC since the debut of these ETPs in the U.S., while only 249,000 BTC has been mined during this timeframe. This significant gap highlights how institutional investors are increasingly seeking Bitcoin as a regulated investment option.
