Bitcoin's market dynamics are undergoing significant changes due to increased institutional involvement. Unlike in 2016, when BTC inflow volumes to exchanges were consistent throughout the week, current patterns show a marked decline in activity over weekends. This shift is attributed to the growing influence of institutional investors, who align more closely with traditional financial markets that close on weekends. The transformation began around 2018, with key developments such as the launch of Bitcoin futures on CME and CBOE, Fidelity's crypto custody services, and Bakkt's physically settled BTC futures. By 2020, Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust and MicroStrategy's BTC acquisitions further cemented institutional presence, leading to a stronger correlation between Bitcoin and equity markets. This evolution suggests a potential change in Bitcoin's historical trading cyclicality.
