Institutional Demand for BTC on the Rise

As seen with spot Bitcoin ETFs, the institutional demand for Bitcoin has been rising pretty fast. On-chain data shows that the demand for BTC has reached the highest levels since the collapse of the FTX exchange.

According to recent data, new investors have accumulated 172,705 BTC since February 23, highlighting renewed interest and confidence in the cryptocurrency market.

Crypto analyst Trader T has highlighted the potential for significant inflows into Bitcoin from U.S. pension funds and Target Date Funds (TDFs). Citing data from Grok, the analyst believes that $103–122 billion could enter the US equity market from these sources.

According to Trader T, there could be a plausible allocation of 5–10% of this amount to alternative asset classes, such as Bitcoin. Thus, it could result in a $1–2 billion inflow into the leading cryptocurrency.

BTC Price Surge to $90K Soon?

Over the past week, the BTC price volatility has dropped while Bitcoin ETF inflows have continued. Bitcoin has flirted around $83,000 recently with analysts expecting a potential breakout above $84,000 soon.

Popular crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa stated that he expects BTC to surge to $90,000 before making any other significant move. “It could go to 75k eventually, sure, but I think it’d go to 89-90k before that time. Basically, we’re headed to 90k minimum IMO,” he wrote. Some market analysts predict the Bitcoin price rally to further continue to $114K.
