📩 Institutional Bitcoin Buying Slows Down? 📊 Data from CryptoQuant shows that in November, institutional Bitcoin purchases fell below daily mining supply for the first time in seven months. According to Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, this suggests reduced appetite from corporations and Bitcoin ETFs, as high interest rates and lower liquidity make capital accumulation harder. ☄️ Major players like MicroStrategy, once leading the institutional BTC wave, have slowed their buying pace, while others such as Metaplanet in Japan have seen their stock prices decline. Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs have shown unstable inflows and outflows in recent weeks. 💭 Analysts note this doesn’t signal a market collapse, but it does mean BTC prices are now more sensitive to global liquidity shifts and short-term trader behavior than before. @base.base.eth
