Bitfinex: Long-term Bitcoin holders are accumulating in large quantities, and institutional buying is driving a return above $80,000

Bitfinex Alpha's latest report indicates that after entering May, BTC successfully broke through the dense selling pressure zone of $78,000 to $79,000, briefly approaching $83,000. This round of increase is mainly driven by spot demand rather than leveraged funds. Since May 8, the spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) has significantly risen, showing that buyers are continuously taking orders and absorbing market supply.

ETF capital inflows and public market increases have become the main driving forces, while long-term holders have now accumulated nearly 4 million BTC, marking the largest increase since the pandemic crash in 2020, which means that the circulating chips in the market are being further locked up. The market currently expects about a 94% probability that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates in June. In the context of macroeconomic uncertainty, institutional funds continue to position themselves in the crypto market.
