Main Idea
Bitcoin is transitioning into a new era driven by institutional adoption, marked by the approval of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, which has brought stability and reduced volatility, making it more viable as a financial asset.
Key Points
1. The approval of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 marked a tipping point, enabling Bitcoin to be held via traditional financial platforms like brokerages and pension funds.
2. Institutional capital has stabilized Bitcoin’s market cycles, with spot ETFs frequently registering net inflows during price corrections, reducing volatility.
3. Bitcoin’s 30-day rolling volatility has dropped significantly, from spikes above 100% in 2019–2022 to around 50% in 2024, recently falling to 35%, comparable to the S&P 500 and gold.
4. US spot Bitcoin ETFs have amassed over $143 billion in assets under management (AUM), with potential for significant inflows if investment advisers allocate even a small percentage to crypto.
5. Pension funds, managing $34 trillion, are gradually adopting Bitcoin, indicating broader institutional acceptance beyond Wall Street.
Description
From volatile outsider to financial base layer, Bitcoin is entering a new era—driven not by retail hype, but by the long-term logic of professional capital.
