Crypto Traders Signal Rising Bitcoin Institutional Appetite. What’s Next for the BTC Price?
Despite recent headwinds affecting crypto prices, digital asset traders have projected rising institutional interest in Q2 2025. These inflows will come in as bulls buy the dip, looking forward to positive macro environments. Last month saw heavy institutional exits across the board, with retail also moving in the same direction.
On-chain Data Shows More Whale Participation
Expert trader, Ali Martinez, highlighted signs of increased institutional investment in the market. In a recent X post, Martinez explained that 76 new entities holding over 1000 BTC have joined the network. This shows a 4.6% spike in institutional demand amid recent woes.
Similar XRP metrics also show heightened demand, leading to higher projections. Based on growing whale volumes, traders gauged a $5 to $8 price in the next bull peak. However, weakened sentiments have plunged the chances of the peak this quarter. XRP bulls’ interest spiked after its Q4 2024 performance. The asset soared to $3 from less than $1 and temporarily flipped USDT as the third-largest asset by market cap.
Solana and other altcoins recently showed breakouts due to large whale accumulations before President Trump’s sweeping tariffs. Whale purchases are a bullish indicator, especially when backed with a subsequent outflow from centralized exchanges. Generally, most institutions perceive a dip as a buy point to gain significant volume.
In the last 30 days, the crypto market has experienced a severe correction, which has driven prices downward. Today, Bitcoin’s price fell 7.45% to $76,556, while Ethereum’s dropped to $1,478 as uncertainty looms. While setbacks resurface, these are also good entry points for whales, as seen in Q1 2023.
A recent Bitpanda study shows increased business investors in the crypto market. Over 40% of participants already hold crypto, while 18% plan to add digital assets to their portfolio.
Lingering ETF Sentiment At The Fore
The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs ushered in a new wave of institutional interest. These investors spiked the assets to multiple all-time highs taking the total market cap above $3 trillion before the year’s crash. Most traders tip more investment to these funds if BTC decouples from the stock market in the aftermath of President Trump’s tariffs.
On the altcoin front, the crypto community anticipates the approval of spot XRP and spot Solana ETFs in the United States. Following cooling regulatory tensions, the odds of approval have consistently increased.
