- Bitcoin capital inflows hit record levels, signaling strong market confidence.
- Whale accumulation of 20,000 BTC boosts momentum amid rising price action.
- Options open interest surges to $46.2B, indicating growing investor sophistication.
Bitcoin is showing signs of strong investor confidence, even after reaching new all-time highs. Recent data indicates that the demand for Bitcoin is now matching peak levels seen during the previous bull cycle.
With billions in fresh capital entering the market daily and whales aggressively accumulating large amounts of BTC, the current landscape suggests sustained upward momentum. Despite short-term corrections, long-term metrics point toward a resilient and increasingly sophisticated investor base.
Capital Inflows Reach Historic Levels
According to analyst Axel Adler Jr., average daily inflows of fresh capital into Bitcoin have reached around $1.8 billion. This mirrors the inflows seen during the height of the 2021 bull market when Bitcoin hovered near $64,000.
Notably, capital surged even higher at key price milestones in the current cycle. Around the $73,000 mark, inflows peaked at $3.6 billion, and at approximately $92,000, they hit $4.5 billion.
This continued capital deployment, even at record-high prices, signals growing confidence among investors. It also underscores the broadening interest in Bitcoin from both retail and institutional participants. Significantly, the market’s ability to absorb such massive inflows reflects its maturation and deepening liquidity.
Whales Drive Market Momentum
Market analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a major accumulation event involving Bitcoin whales wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC. In just 48 hours, these whales acquired over 20,000 BTC, pushing their combined holdings to nearly 4.71 million BTC. This accumulation coincided with a rapid price surge between May 19 and 22, suggesting direct influence on market direction.

Moreover, Bitcoin’s price touched a high above 110,000 units during this period, before settling near $107,000. Whale behavior often serves as a leading indicator of market sentiment. Hence, their continued buying supports the view that Bitcoin could experience further upward momentum in the near future.
Options Market Signals Sophistication
Glassnode data reveals that Bitcoin options open interest has hit a new high of $46.2 billion, up from $20.4 billion at recent lows. This growth in the options market outpaces futures and signals a more sophisticated approach by investors toward risk management and strategy execution.
Despite the current price of $105,741 down 1.90% in the last 24 hours and 4.50% over the week Bitcoin’s market cap remains strong at $2.1 trillion.
