Bitcoin is once again in the spotlight after Robert Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, confirmed at Token2049 Dubai that institutional investors are ramping up exposure to spot Bitcoin ETFs. Speaking alongside leaders from VanEck and CME Group, Mitchnick explained that while retail investors dominated the early ETF inflows, institutional and wealth management clients now lead the charge.
“The flows are back in a big way,” he said, adding that “every quarter, the percentage held by retail clients has gone down.”
This transition underscores a broader adoption cycle—one driven less by hype and more by portfolio strategy. According to BlackRock executives, institutions are increasingly viewing BTC as a macro hedge, not just a speculative asset.
Bitcoin as a Safe Haven in an Uncertain Economy
The rise in institutional interest appears to be fueled by rising concerns over global financial stability. BlackRock’s Jay Jacobs recently noted, “Bitcoin thrives when you have more uncertainty.”
With U.S. GDP contracting 0.3% in Q1 and inflation moderating, investors are hedging against long-term currency debasement and geopolitical instability.
Larry Fink, BlackRock’s CEO, has even floated the possibility of BTC reaching $700,000 in extreme economic scenarios.
While such projections remain speculative, they highlight Bitcoin’s growing role as a non-sovereign store of value, especially in times of macro stress.
Key drivers supporting Bitcoin’s appeal:
Institutional reallocation amid rate uncertainty
Rising distrust in fiat systems
Scarcity and predictable monetary policy
Regulatory clarity around Bitcoin ETFs
Technical Setup: BTC Eyes Breakout Toward $97K
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is trading just shy of resistance at $95,441, forming an ascending triangle pattern on the 2-hour chart—often a precursor to bullish continuation. The 50 EMA at $94,426 is providing strong support, and MACD is flipping positive.

Should BTC close above $95,441 with volume, the next price targets stand at $96,610 and $97,500. If bulls fail to clear resistance, support rests at $94,400, which also marks a prudent stop-loss level.
Trade Setup:
Entry: Break and close above $95,441
Target 1: $96,610
Target 2: $97,500
Stop-loss: Below $94,400
This is a textbook breakout structure. Traders should remain patient, waiting for confirmation to avoid false breakouts—momentum favors upside as long as BTC stays above the 50 EMA.
