Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is experiencing a "significant upward trend" in accumulation by institutional entities, according to data analytics firm CryptoQuant.
Institutional investors such as hedge funds, investment firms, and cryptocurrency private funds are increasingly accumulating bitcoins, signaling a strong interest in the digital asset even at its current price levels.
This comes at a time when Bitcoin has maintained a relatively steady price, suggesting that these institutions may view it as a long-term investment, despite the crypto market's notorious volatility.

This departure from the sprint-like behavior of short-term investors, who might sweat over every ebb and flow in the price, could potentially set a new rhythm for the market and recalibrate the price dynamics of Bitcoin itself.
As per CoinGecko, Bitcoin is currently trading at $30,687 after failing to hold above the $31,000 mark.
