Institutional Finance is the engine driving the current market cycle. The entry of giants like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton has validated Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. We analyze the flows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs, the behavior of institutional custodians, and the “Smart Money” trends that dictate long-term price action.
