Investors can gain exposure to Bitcoin by purchasing shares of GBTC on OTCMarkets, an over-the-counter securities exchange in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>This allows institutions to essentially trade Bitcoin with brokerage accounts in the public U.S. market.<\/p>\n<p>Since GBTC tailors to accredited and institutional investors, the growth of Grayscale's AUM suggests a clear increase in institutional appetite for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Vetle Lunde, an analyst at Arcane Research, said GBTC now holds just below 3% of the total circulating Bitcoin supply. Lunde <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VetleLunde\/status\/1338467864710418436?s=20\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust has attracted new investors throughout the year, leading to a doubling of Grayscale's BTC holdings from approx. 261k BTC in January to 544k BTC by Dec 12th. The holdings of GBTC is just below 3% of the total circulating BTC supply.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The timing of the rising inflow of capital into GBTC is noteworthy because it shows institutions are not concerned in BTC's short-term price cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, if Bitcoin continues to reject the $19,600 to $20,000 resistance range, the probability of a larger pullback increases.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the inflows into Grayscale suggest institutions remain confident in the medium-term price cycle of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<h2>The overall crypto sector is seeing big demand outside of Bitcoin too<\/h2>\n<p>According to Lunde, atop GBTC, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust has also seen impressive inflows since January. The analyst noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The growth of the @Grayscale Ethereum Trust has been even more impressive. In January, the ether holdings of the trust sat below 0.5m ETH. Now the holdings of the trust are approaching 3m ETH. The holdings of ETHE sits at 2.5% of the total circulating ETH supply.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Considering that analysts view other large-cap cryptocurrencies as a higher-risk play on Bitcoin, the rising inflow into Ethereum is another sign of overall institutional confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The assets under management (AUM) of Grayscale achieved $13 billion, which is indicative of the large influx of capital into Bitcoin (BTC).\u00a0 The continuous increase in institutional demand for Bitcoin as the price hovers at $19,000 is optimistic for two reasons.
