Bitcoin Market Sees Shift as Institutional Players Take Center Stage

Recent analysis suggests a significant shift in the Bitcoin market, with retail investors playing a smaller role compared to their historic influence. Data reveals a dramatic drop in direct retail participation, particularly from those holding less than 0.1 BTC. This change is largely attributed to the rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs and increased institutional investment activity. The analysis points to a new dynamic in market activity with fewer individual investors impacting price swings.
