Institutional Demand Surges, Ethereum Loses Ground

The balance between Ethereum and Bitcoin holdings has shifted noticeably. In April 2025, the ETH/BTC ratio dropped to a yearly low of 0.15, indicating that for every $1 in Ethereum, investors held roughly $4 in Bitcoin. Although the ratio has since recovered to 0.27, Bitcoin’s dominance remains clear in investor sentiment.

A New Era with Spot Bitcoin ETFs

The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs has been a major catalyst for institutional adoption. These financial products opened the door for traditional investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without managing wallets or private keys. Since then, Bitcoin has outperformed key asset classes — including equities, bonds, and precious metals — further solidifying its role as a portfolio diversification tool.

Corporate Treasury Holdings Are Soaring

Along with growing adoption, the number of companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets has nearly doubled. In early June, only 124 companies held BTC, but within weeks, that number jumped to 244. In total, corporate treasuries now hold approximately 3.45 million BTC. Of these, about 834,000 BTC are in public company reserves, while over 1.39 million BTC are held through spot ETFs.

Bitcoin’s 2035 Outlook: A Challenger to Gold

As Bitcoin continues its institutional rise, some analysts project it could rival gold’s $22 trillion market cap within the next decade. If this scenario unfolds, Bitcoin could reach a staggering $1.8 million per coin by 2035, reshaping global financial markets in the process.

Bitcoin reached a strong position in the crypto market with a 64% market dominance by the end of May 2025. Notably, the 1% market depth on US-based exchanges hit a record $290 million, indicating increased liquidity. 

Trump Media’s $2.5 billion Bitcoin plan is also attracting attention. Funds raised from equity and bond sales will be used directly to purchase Bitcoin. This move clearly demonstrates growing institutional investor interest in crypto. Meanwhile, BTC has been trading sideways between $106,600 and $111,700 since May 22. Despite short-term uncertainties, this suggests investors are not showing significant selling pressure. 

The altcoin market, however, is weakening in response to these developments. Ethereum’s implied volatility (IV) curve has inverted, showing a 60% increase, indicating investors are making rapid position changes. Trading volume in altcoins is concentrated in major projects, while smaller projects are losing volume. According to Kaiko data, liquidity in BTC and altcoin markets significantly declined in Q2 2025. The decrease in trading volumes is more pronounced in altcoins, whereas Bitcoin’s options market shows increased volume. These data imply the market is preparing for short-term volatility, with investors focusing on risk management. 

Options Data Signals Bullish Outlook 

The BTC options market carries optimism for the near term. Deribit data shows some investors taking positions pricing Bitcoin at $300,000 by the end of June, indicating strong bullish expectations. 

Additionally, implied volatility data supports the anticipation of upward movement. Implied volatility reflects investors’ predictions of future price fluctuations of assets like BTC or Ethereum. High implied volatility signals expectations of large price swings, while low implies a calmer market. Investors are becoming more willing to take risks. Bitcoin’s 200-day moving average is around $94,500. The current price is approximately $14,000 above this average, indicating strong momentum. This suggests the market is technically sound and supports Bitcoin’s upward trend. Market moves may accelerate. 

Over the last five days, BTC has risen approximately 8.2%, while the S&P 500 index has dropped over 2.6%. This shows Bitcoin’s clear divergence from traditional stocks from a macroeconomic perspective.
