Institutional Flow Fuels Bitcoin Surge and Ethereum Momentum—Macroeconomic Watch Still Key

What’s Happening?

Over the past week, Bitcoin climbed above $122,300, inching close to its recent peak around $123,100, while Ethereum sustained its push past $4,350, reaching heights unseen since late 2021. The uptick reflects strong institutional demand and renewed confidence in crypto markets. Importantly, the Trump administration’s executive order now allows 401(k) plans to invest in cryptocurrencies, which has prompted a hefty rebound in digital asset fund inflows—some $572 million net positive inflow for the week.

This rally also coincides with significant action in derivatives markets and institutional capital allocation. Ethereum ETFs are drawing record-breaking inflows, and on-chain data, including exchange-level U.S. DAI flows, signal sustained strategic interest ahead of key U.S. CPI data releases.

Why It Matters Globally

• Capital Market Integration
  Allowing retirement accounts crypto exposure opens the door for broader, long-term institutional participation worldwide.
• Macro Signals Are At Play
  Markets are now influenced not just by crypto-specific news but by real-world data—like inflation figures. Investors everywhere, from Europe to Asia, are watching these developments closely.

Coinccino Insight

“Crypto is showing signs that it's stepping into the mainstream—led by institutional backing and major policy shifts. Still, with CPI data looming, global investors should brace for volatility even amid bullish momentum. It’s not just prices; it’s bigger macro flows that matter now.”
