Opportunism of large investors in the face of small investors’ exit from the market

According to a recent analysis published on the CryptoQuant platform, despite the gradual improvement in the price of digital currencies, retail investors have become more cautious, especially in the South Korean market. The decreasing participation of retail investors indicates the decline in local investors’ interest in the digital currency space. The main reason for this decline is the volatility of the Bitcoin (BTC) price over the past six months and macroeconomic uncertainty. On the other hand, institutional investors in the United States see the current situation as an opportunity to invest. The Coinbase Premium Index, which reflects the sentiment of American investors, has recently turned positive. In addition, steady inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs indicate that American investors are entering the cryptocurrency market. This behavior contrasts with the withdrawal of retail investors and could mark a turning point for the market.
