Major trust fund continues buying Bitcoin at a huge rate
While it’s hard to measure the institutional interest in Bitcoin, a report from Grayscale, a major Bitcoin fund trust, shows it is clearly increasing. According to the fund, they are currently buying Bitcoin at a rate equivalent to 150% of BTC mined. Grayscale has added close to 20,000 BTC to its fund since Bitcoin’s halving.
It’s important to note that the fund trust is buying a lot of Bitcoin, even though the digital asset hasn’t been able to break the crucial $10,000 level and has been rejected several times from it in the past. Additionally, the open interest for BTC options is currently at astounding levels and up 10x in May.
