Bitcoin Price Rebounds on Immense Support from Institutional Investors Led By The Blockchain Group

According to market data from CoinShares, Bitcoin led the wider altcoin market with a cash inflow of about $2.97 billion last week, hence increasing its net Assets Under Management (AUM) to about $158.3 billion. As Coinpedia reported, Strategy has played a crucial role in the net cash inflow through its weekly Bitcoin acquisitions.

However, the majority of Bitcoin’s net cash inflow came from the spot BTC ETF issuers, which posted a total cash inflow of about $2.75 billion last week. The notable Bitcoin demand from institutional investors played a significant role in its ongoing bullish sentiment. For the first time in its history, BTC price recorded a weekly close of above $109k last week. Most importantly, BTC price rebounded from an established rising logarithmic trend established in the past two months.
