Bitcoin derivatives data shows the institutional “herd” is finally here: fund managerBTC $11,763 (-2.5%) • ETH $408 (-6.4%) • XRP $0.29 (-6.6%)
In 2017 and 2018, Bitcoin proponents coined the term “the institutional herd” to describe the flood of Wall Street investors and companies that were then expected to grace the cryptocurrency market. That “herd,” at least in 2017 and 2018, never arrived. Most executives and analysts in the space say that back then, most price action was driven by retail investors — individuals like you or myself, not the billionaires of the world. This, though, has rapidly changed. Derivatives data now shows that an increasing number of institutional investors are investing in the Bitcoin space. And chances are, this trend of institutions entering crypto is set to continue well into the future. 📈 Trending … DeFi Tokens • Oracle Tokens • Biggest Gainers • Stablecoins More news ⏬Investors pour in $400 million into YAM, a “dead” Ethereum DeFi projectInvestors of Yam Finance, the yield farming project represented by a vegetable emoji that locked $750 million in investor funds last week before imploding, are not done with its world-changing promise yet, data shows.
