While some investors may be awaiting increased liquidity and clarity from a spot ETF approval, institutional investors have already begun deploying funds to Bitcoin and crypto. According to CoinShares, institutional investors pushed $2.25 billion into crypto in 2023, which is a 2.7 times increase over 2022. The total year institutional inflow was the 3rd largest on record.

Vaulted supply shows a bullish trend beyond long-term holders as they are coins that have not moved at all within the BTC network.
