What changes has Bitcoin experienced over the past year? Saying that 2024 is the year when BTC ETFs will begin is not an exaggeration at all, but looking further ahead, 2025 to 2026 will be the real turning point. The macro environment has completely changed.



When Bitcoin is incorporated into national strategies and discussions on financial sovereignty, it is no longer just a type of asset—a qualitative change has occurred. What does this mean? It means its identity is being upgraded.

At the same time, you can clearly feel the increasing effect of institutional accumulation. ETFs continue to attract funds, listed companies are quietly entering the market, and long-term capital is silently positioning itself. These three forces converge, and the result is quite obvious:

First, BTC’s volatility is being systematically suppressed. This is no coincidence; it’s a sign of large funds protecting the market.

Second, the price center is continuously rising. Every pullback fails to hold, what is this? It’s consensus strengthening.

The most interesting part is coming—supply is being continuously absorbed, but the market doesn’t see the frantic behavior typical of retail investors. No one is hyping a bubble, no one is promoting dreams of getting rich overnight. This restrained state is precisely the temperament of a mature asset.

In other words, BTC is transforming from a speculative asset into a strategic asset, moving closer to financial infrastructure rather than just a market hotspot.

This time it's really different. Institutions are quietly accumulating, while retail investors are still debating the rise and fall. The gap in perspective is too big.

Hmm, I've heard the logic of institutions quietly accumulating funds many times before. But this time, I truly feel a different vibe. From trading artworks to strategic assets, it sounds quite enticing.

Really, I can see clearly that institutional support is happening this time, but retail investors are still debating when the surge will happen. I'm amazed.

This time it's really not hype; the key point is that institutions are quietly accumulating. The fact that institutions are quietly accumulating is so crucial; it feels like retail investors are finally going to make money off the institutions. Not blowing bubbles is even more terrifying, indicating that someone is truly laying out plans. Volatility is being suppressed + prices are rising, this combination is perfect. Supply is being absorbed, but no one is promising a get-rich-quick dream; this is the real big event. From a speculative asset to a strategic asset, this transformation is a substantial change. ETF absorption + listed companies entering + long-term capital deployment, three-pronged approach—who can resist? Such obvious market support, yet retail investors are still stuck in a bear market mindset. Every dip has not broken the previous low, this is consensus strengthening. The real turnaround will happen in 2025-2026; 2024 is just a prelude.

This time is truly different. Large funds are quietly accumulating, while retail investors are still dreaming. Institutional support is suppressing volatility. This is what a mature market should look like. Supply has been drained, yet prices are still rising. What does that mean? Consensus has been locked in. From a speculative asset to a strategic asset, the identity has upgraded. Just look at 2025 to see the future. BTC's current restraint indeed highlights how crazy things used to be. This time, it's not quite the same.

Institutional support has been a common phrase, but now it truly feels different. Large funds are quietly accumulating, while retail investors haven't gone crazy. This contrast is quite interesting. Wait, you say the turning point is at 25-26? How far can this wave go now? Strengthening consensus sounds good, but I just want to know when we can break the previous high. It looks like this time it's really turning into infrastructure, not just hype. By the way, what will happen after the supply is absorbed? The mindset of holders has long changed.
