Capriole: Institutions Buying 76% More Bitcoin Than Miners Produce
News Brief
Institutional demand for Bitcoin is running well ahead of new supply. According to Capriole Investments, institutions are buying 76% more BTC than miners are producing, driven largely by corporate treasuries and U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Institutional demand for Bitcoin is running well ahead of new supply. According to Capriole Investments, institutions are buying 76% more BTC than miners are producing, driven largely by corporate treasuries and U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Key Highlights
- Demand vs. supply:
- Institutional buyers absorbing ~176% of daily miner issuance
- Sustained inflows:
- 8 consecutive green days of net institutional buying
- Primary drivers:
- Corporate treasury accumulation
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows
This represents a clear structural demand imbalance.
Why This Matters
Bitcoin’s post‑halving issuance is already constrained. When:
- New supply shrinks, and
- Long‑term buyers consistently absorb more than 100% of issuance
…the market must clear through higher prices or reduced selling elsewhere.
What Makes This Different From Past Cycles
- Demand is coming from regulated, balance‑sheet buyers, not just traders
- ETFs create persistent, mechanical buying
- Corporates tend to hold BTC as a strategic asset, not short‑term inventory
This reduces reflexive sell pressure during volatility.
Market Implications
- Miners may need to sell less BTC to fund operations
- Liquidity tightens as coins move into long‑term custody
- Short‑term pullbacks may be shallower and faster to recover
Sustained absorption above issuance is historically a bullish setup.
What to Watch
- Whether ETF inflows remain consistent or accelerate
- Miner selling behavior during price rallies
- Long‑term holder supply trends
Bottom Line
Capriole’s data shows institutions buying 76% more Bitcoin than miners produce, with eight straight days of net inflows led by corporates and U.S. spot ETFs. If this imbalance persists, it strengthens the case for continued upside driven by structural, not speculative, demand.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision
The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
