Bitcoin’s New Cycle: Institutional Flows Drive Growth & Reduced Volatility

Recent analysis by blockchain analytics firm Glassnode reveals that Bitcoin’s latest market cycle is characterized by increased institutional involvement, reduced volatility, and significant growth in tokenized real-world assets. With nearly $732 billion in new capital flowing into the asset class this cycle, Bitcoin has seen a notable drop in its realized volatility, down by almost 50%. This influx of capital from institutions has been driven by factors such as the expansion of DeFi applications and increased institutional interest.
