Bitfinex Report Highlights Bitcoin's Spot Demand Growth

Institutional Activities Propel Bitcoin Spot Demand

Bitfinex’s April 2025 Alpha report notes a significant surge in Bitcoin spot demand, driven largely by institutional activities and ETF participation. Such activity underpins Bitcoin’s resilience in volatile markets.

The report highlights institutional demand as a primary factor, with major contributors being spot accumulations and ETF inflows. Bitfinex’s analysis emphasizes the importance of these elements in shaping current market dynamics.

ETF Influence Strengthens Bitcoin Price Stability

Bitcoin’s price has shown resilience, maintaining strength amid broader market fluctuations due to ETF inflows. Institutional participation continues to bolster market confidence.

Based on the report, strong institutional demand stabilizes Bitcoin’s price while ETF approvals further encourage participation, suggesting potential for continued growth. Historical trends indicate similar outcomes following halving cycles.

Historical Halving Cycles Predict 2025 Rally

Past Bitcoin halving cycles in 2012 and 2016 motivated significant market rallies, aligning with predictive trends in the current scenario. The report projects similar patterns, reinforcing historical analysis.

Experts from Kanalcoin suggest that based on historical data, the anticipated Bitcoin peak around Q3-Q4 2025 lies between $140,000 to $200,000, driven by strong institutional and retail involvement. These projections are bolstered by latest ETF-driven demand.

“The current bull market reflects strong institutional demand, led by ETFs and spot accumulation. Historical data suggests we are mid-cycle, following the April 2024 halving, with the market likely to peak around Q3-Q4 2025, approximately 450 days post-halving. Historically, post-halving years have seen the strongest rallies” — Bitfinex Analysts, Bitfinex Research Team, Bitfinex
