2. Capital inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have exceeded $50 billion, the highest recorded inflows in 2025, yet on-chain activity remains subdued.

3. Institutional adoption through ETFs, such as BlockRock holding 3% of Bitcoin's total supply, introduces centralization risks within the ecosystem.

4. Bitcoin ETFs are expected to foster a more stable and mature market by smoothing out extreme price fluctuations, though this may reduce dramatic price surges ('God Candles').

5. The growing dominance of ETFs shifts market dynamics, with institutional investors gaining more influence over Bitcoin's price action.
