Derived from Jinse, the 2025 Bitcoin market saw a major structural shift as institutional investors absorbed over 1.2 trillion USD in selling pressure from long-term holders. Institutional ownership of Bitcoin reached 24%, while retail investors exited 66%. Despite a 5.4% annual price decline, Bitcoin ETFs saw $250 billion in net inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT alone reaching $500 billion in AUM within 228 days. The founder of IOSG argues this marks the beginning of a new institutional-driven cycle, not a traditional bear market.
