    4. Amid the recent increase in Bitcoin (BTC) volatility, analysts note that institutional investors continue to show interest in the cryptocurrency and are accumulating more assets.

    Rising Bitcoin Volatility

    Since early August, after a sharp decline, Bitcoin's volatility has significantly increased. This factor plays a crucial role in the cryptocurrency market, causing concern and interest among various investor groups.

    Institutional Investor Stance

    Despite the rising volatility, institutional investors continue to invest in BTC and maintain their existing spot Bitcoin ETF holdings. According to data, the majority of institutional investors who invested in spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first quarter of this year either held on to their shares or bought more in the second quarter.

    In the first quarter, 44% of registered investors increased their holdings, 22% held steady, and only 21% decreased. Compared to other ETFs, the case for Bitcoin is really good.André Dragosch, Head of Research Europe, Bitwise

    Examples of Asset Accumulation

    To illustrate the growing institutional involvement, Dragosch noted that over 60% of the world's leading hedge funds now invest in Bitcoin through ETFs, indicating growing institutional interest. He cited major hedge funds such as Millennium, Schonfeld, Boothbay, and Capula as examples of this trend. Wintermute analysts also observed that institutional interest in BTC has not decreased despite significant volatility and has instead increased.

    Despite Bitcoin's price falling more than 20% in the second quarter of the year, institutional investors did not back down and continued to accumulate. This further highlighted the increasing mainstream acceptance and institutional interest in Bitcoin as an investment asset.Wintermute Analysts

    In conclusion, despite significant volatility, institutional investors continue to stick with Bitcoin and actively accumulate more assets, indicating the growing recognition of the cryptocurrency on a global scale.
