I woke up Monday morning to something strange. Bitcoin had crushed a new all-time high. Yet my timeline was… silent.
The cryptocurrency reached $125,700 over the weekend, marking a fresh record that barely made a noise across social media. This feels different from previous cycles. Where’s the excitement? Where are the celebrations?
The answer might surprise you.
Institutional Money Is Driving This Move
Last week saw massive Bitcoin ETF inflows: $1 billion on Friday, $620 million on Thursday, $670 million on Wednesday, $420 million on Tuesday, and $520 million on Monday.
That’s not retail FOMO. That’s institutions stacking quietly.
