The Bitcoin market is undergoing a profound transformation. With the arrival of 2024, the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, but this wave of growth is not driven by the frenzy of retail investors, but rather by the re-entry of large institutions and whale investors.



Data shows that by 2025, 215,000 long-dormant Bitcoins worth over $24.7 billion have been reactivated. This phenomenon is accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume: the average monthly large transfers of Bitcoin soared from 4,900 in 2023 to over 30,000, an increase of 526%. The average transfer size also surged from 162 BTC to over 1,000 BTC, an increase of 519%.

This data means that giant investors, who had been silent for many years, are readjusting their holding strategies. The influence of retail investors is gradually being replaced by institutional investors. Meanwhile, the continued inflow of funds into Bitcoin spot ETFs has further exacerbated this trend.

Currently, the Bitcoin market is facing an unprecedented "long-term supply shock": the number of Bitcoins available on exchanges is continually decreasing, while the number of Bitcoins held by institutions is steadily increasing. This imbalance in supply and demand could become a major driving force for the future rise in Bitcoin prices, rather than simply being driven by market sentiment.

In the face of this shift in market dynamics, investors need to rethink their investment strategies. Should they wait for prices to rise further before entering the market, or should they position themselves in advance when large investors begin to take action? This question is worth pondering for every Bit investor.

As the dominance of institutional investors becomes increasingly prominent, the dynamics of the Bitcoin market may become more complex and unpredictable. For ordinary investors, it is particularly important to closely monitor market changes, understand the fundamental driving factors, and develop informed investment strategies.
