The post Bitcoin Institutional Demand Is Rising – Crucial Data Reveals BTC Whales Keep Growing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Bitcoin surged past $73,000 yesterday, nearly breaking its all-time high and sparking a wave of optimism and euphoria across the market. This significant price movement has fueled hopes for BTC’s push into price discovery and new, uncharted territory.  Key data from CryptoQuant reveals that institutional demand for Bitcoin is rising, with notable inflows into custodial wallets.
