Institutional demand for Bitcoin is accelerating as spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) pour between $5 billion and $10 billion into the market each quarter, tightening supply and fueling bullish momentum.

According to Bitwise CTO Hong Kim, ETF inflows have become a “steady, unstoppable trend,” marking a structural shift in global finance.

André Dragosch, Bitwise’s European Head of Research, shared on X that institutions have purchased 944,330 BTC so far in 2025—over seven times the new supply of BTC mined this year.

The imbalance began after the SEC’s 2024 approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which opened the floodgates for regulated institutional participation.

Major players like BlackRock have legitimized Bitcoin as a treasury and portfolio asset, helping global crypto fund assets surpass $250 billion.

Analysts say the demand-supply mismatch underscores Bitcoin’s transition from speculative token to mainstream financial instrument with enduring institutional confidence.
