Institutional Bitcoin
Updated
As a Venture Capital investor, we often get pitched crypto projects. On a personal note my first Bitcoin investment was in 2011. What I am starting to see now from both an investor & trader's perspective is the institutional money is gearing up to align Bitcoin with its "investment Instrument" criteria.
As of last year, we saw Asset manager positions being added under 1,000 BTC per week on average between 500 & 700 from around the week and date of the 22nd of September. Reaching a buy climax in November.
This year from the 5th of Jan through to the 26th of Jan saw moves in and out being sporadic and some stability coming in from the start of February. However, to counter this what is interesting is that the Leveraged Funds were a little more active than they were towards the end of last year. 3.5k positions on average weekly being bought in the first 4 weeks and only 2.5k average in the last 4 weeks.
As for short positions held and traded - Leveraged funds were selling 9.1k Jan 5th, 9.6k Jan 12th, 9.1k Jan 19th and a dip down to selling only 8k at the end of Jan.
In layman terms - this means the Institutional buyers have open positions around $38,000, then $36,000 being the average price of long positions and a further dip to around $26,700 area for best value acquisitions.
This last week's data shows Asset Managers opened another 600 short positions and only 300 long, whilst Leveraged Funds opened 7,600 shorts and only 2,600 longs. This makes sense as 68% of current retail trades are open Bitcoin Long.
