This trend suggests heightened interest from US institutions, which prefer OTC trades as a method for large-scale Bitcoin accumulation to minimize market disruption.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Inflows to Coinbase Prime<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptoquant_com\/status\/1880080696242499613\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">alert<\/a> threshold, set at an inflow value exceeding $8 billion, has been surpassed, with the current value standing at over $14 billion. This significant inflow evidences a strong institutional interest, with OTC trading playing a crucial role in facilitating these transactions.<\/p>\n<p>OTC trading involves direct, off-exchange transactions between buyers and sellers, typically facilitated by brokers or trading desks. This method allows institutions and high-net-worth individuals to execute large trades with minimal impact on the market.<\/p>\n<p>According to Finery Markets\u2019 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/finerymarkets.com\/blog\/crypto-otc-review-2024-results-2025-outlook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Review<\/a>, the cryptocurrency OTC market saw remarkable growth, with an annual rate of 106% last year. The report stated that 2024 was a transformative year for institutional and large-scale digital asset trading, spurred by macroeconomic trends and industry-specific factors.<\/p>\n<p>This includes the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the election of pro-crypto President Donald Trump, as well as the subsequent regulatory developments.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, CryptoQuant\u2019s alert threshold was exceeded soon after Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/top-bitcoin-btc-predictions-as-the-price-briefly-crossed-100k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">touched<\/a> $100,000 on Thursday \u2013 for the first time in 2025. This has prompted market experts to believe that the crypto asset could climb to a new ATH by late January.<\/p>\n<h2>Crypto as a National Priority?<\/h2>\n<p>After a modest correction, Bitcoin was back up and trading above $102,000 at the time of writing. This comes amidst <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/trump-plans-to-designate-crypto-as-a-national-priority-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">reports<\/a> of President-elect Donald Trump planning to issue an executive order making cryptocurrency a national priority soon after his Jan. 20 inauguration. The order aims to guide government agencies in collaborating with the industry and establishing a \u201ccrypto advisory council\u201d to influence policy development.<\/p>\n<p>It may also direct agencies to review existing digital asset regulations and pause ongoing crypto-related lawsuits, including high-profile cases involving Binance and Ripple Labs. Additionally, Trump\u2019s administration is considering creating a national Bitcoin strategic reserve, potentially expanding to include U.S.-founded digital assets such as Solana, USD Coin, and Ripple\u2019s XRP.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/institutional-bitcoin-accumulation-surges-on-coinbase-as-btc-taps-10-day-high\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Institutional Bitcoin Accumulation Surges on Coinbase as BTC Taps 10-Day High<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin is seeing institutional accumulation amidst fresh gains of over 3% on Friday as its price tapped $102,000.
