Bitcoin’s Historic Calm: Volatility Craters to 20-Month Low While ETF Inflows Surge Toward $50B
Bitcoin's price swings have flatlined to levels not seen since November 2023—just as institutional money floods in through spot ETFs. The crypto's newfound stability is either a bullish signal or proof Wall Street's finally sucking the soul out of decentralization (with $50 billion doing the talking).
The Volatility Squeeze
BTC's 30-day volatility metric just kissed its 2023 lows—the kind of boring price action that'd normally put traders to sleep. Except this time, it's happening alongside record-breaking capital inflows.
ETF Money Tsunami
Nearly $50 billion has poured into spot Bitcoin ETFs since launch. BlackRock and friends are vacuuming up supply while retail sits on the sidelines—classic 'smart money' narrative, until the inevitable rug pull.
The big question: Is this the calm before the next parabolic rally, or proof Bitcoin's becoming just another stodgy asset class? Either way, bankers are getting rich off the spread.
Institutional demand surges as ETFs break records and public firms accumulate Bitcoin
Despite this muted on-chain activity, US spot Bitcoin ETFs are hitting new records. The funds drew over $1 billion in net inflows across just two days last week, pushing the cumulative total NEAR the $50 billion mark. In total, these ETFs now hold approximately $137.6 billion worth of BTC—a record high—according to SoSoValue.
Publicly traded companies also ramped up their BTC purchases in June, adding around 65,000 BTC, valued at roughly $7 billion, according to BitcoinTreasuries. Though on-chain metrics remain subdued, a Glassnode analysis suggests a shift in network dominance toward institutional investors and whales as high-value transactions become more common.
Adding to signs of a summer slowdown, Bitcoin futures volume has declined. Still, the broader trend indicates that institutional demand may be decoupling from retail activity on-chain.
Robert Kiyosaki fires back at Bitcoin crash predictions amid $109K resistance struggle
Amid this backdrop of waning retail activity and growing institutional presence, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has pushed back against rising bearish sentiment. With BTC struggling to break through the $109,500 resistance level, some traders are bracing for a correction down to $90,000. But Kiyosaki remains unfazed.
According to a message on the X platform, Robert Kiyosaki fired back at Bitcoin skeptics while dismissing crash warnings as fear tactics aimed at shaking out weak hands.
His comments come as the crypto market faces strong selling pressure, with BTC failing to surpass the $109,500 resistance. In his message on the X, Kiyosaki wrote:
“CLICK BAIT Losers keeps warning of a Bitcoin crash. They want to frighten off the speculators. I hope Bitcoin crashes. I will only buy more. Take care”.
Reaffirming his long-term bullish stance, Robert Kiyosaki said any sharp correction in BTC should be seen as a fresh buying opportunity. Kiyosaki, a steadfast BTC supporter, maintains his bold prediction that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030. His latest remarks come amid heightened market volatility and growing uncertainty over Bitcoin’s short-term direction.
However, Kiyosaki is placing his bets on silver in the near term. Among all asset classes, he’s bullish on silver for July, forecasting a potential 3x surge to $105 by year-end. He continued to say that any Bitcoin dip could be an opportunity to buy for the long term. Currently, BTC price faces rejection at $109,500 while macro factors like the falling US Dollar Index support the upside.
