Bitcoin Attracts $80 Billion Every Month, Driven by Institutional Investments
Bitcoin (BTC) saw a significant price surge of over 5% on Wednesday, bouncing back from a critical support range between $94,300 and $96,600 earlier this week.
The cryptocurrency briefly revisited its previous all-time high range before slightly retracting to trade around $100,780 by Thursday.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin Futures Open Interest (OI) saw a 6% increase, reaching approximately $62.8 billion. Despite this, Bitcoin’s funding rate has dropped notably, reflecting the recent wave of daily liquidations in the leveraged market.
Over the past year, the supply of Bitcoin on centralized exchanges has sharply declined, largely due to rising demand from institutional investors. In the last 30 days, about 120,000 BTC were withdrawn from these exchanges, leaving a remaining supply of around 2.23 million BTC.

"Agent vs US Treasury" — Who Will Dominate the US Stock Market?
The wave of AI Agents and US Treasury yields are splitting the US stock market into two worlds: Meta's release of the Muse model boosted its market value by $220 billion in a single week, propelling the Nasdaq's standout performance; however, excluding AI stocks, the S&P 500 actually fell 1% this week, with the number of new lows on the New York Stock Exchange surpassing new highs for nine consecutive days, signaling the near end of "breadth trading." Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that this is a "frustrating cat-and-mouse game" between the stock market and interest rates—any breakout can be snuffed out by the bond market at any time, so equity holders must short US Treasury bonds to hedge simultaneously.
