According to MilkRoadDaily, the Bitcoin realized price continues to rise, diverging from past cycles where a flat or declining realized price signaled the start of a downtrend. This upward movement in realized price indicates that investors, particularly institutions participating through spot Bitcoin ETFs, are acquiring BTC at progressively higher price points (source: MilkRoadDaily, May 15, 2025). For traders, this sustained trend suggests ongoing bullish momentum supported by institutional inflows, signaling potential for further upward price action and highlighting the importance of monitoring realized price as a leading indicator for market sentiment.

According to Miles Deutscher, Bitcoin has surged back into the top 5 global assets by market capitalization, reclaiming the $2 trillion mark after surpassing Amazon and Google in value (source: Twitter, @milesdeutscher, May 10, 2025). This rapid ascent from seventh place just a week ago highlights growing institutional demand and bullish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. Traders should watch for increased volatility as Bitcoin eyes Nvidia and Apple’s positions, with potential for significant capital inflows and price momentum if $BTC approaches the top 3 by year-end. The renewed market cap milestone strengthens Bitcoin's position as a leading digital asset and could drive further crypto market growth as traditional investors increase allocations.

According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily) via FarsideUK data, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced $2.68 billion in net inflows from Monday to Thursday this week, a dramatic 180x increase from just $15 million during the same period last week. This marks the third largest weekly net inflow on record. If net flows reach $661 million by the end of today, this week could rank as the highest ever. Such strong capital inflows indicate heightened institutional interest and potential bullish price action for Bitcoin in the short term (source: @MilkRoadDaily, April 25, 2025).
