Let me tell you something—it might make veteran “old-school” investors a little nervous, but you need to know this.



Just yesterday, that Wall Street behemoth BlackRock’s Bitcoin spot ETF options (IBIT) smashed our long-time stronghold Deribit. Open interest officially surpassed it.

This isn’t some minor blip. Deribit had been playing this game for ten years. IBIT did it in just two years—and overtook it.

Bitcoin’s pricing power is officially being transferred from us retail investors and the big whales to those Wall Street suits in suits and ties.

You think ETF approval is the big win, and you just watch net inflows every day? That’s a narrow mindset.

Right now, the situation is:

1. **Supply is getting drained:** Exchanges saw a net outflow of **15,952 BTC** over the past week. What does that mean? People are withdrawing to their cold wallets—not selling—waiting for prices to rise. On-chain supply is tight.

2. **Demand is going wild on buying:** *The ETF has had net inflows for **8 consecutive days**, totaling **$2.1 billion**; cumulative net inflows are **$58 billion**; and the total scale has reached **$102 billion**. This money is real, spot buying pressure.*

Supply and demand are wildly mismatched. According to our old playbook for trading crypto, this is the fuse for a brutal surge—Bitcoin at **80K**? That’s just the starting point.

Back then, we stayed up late watching block reward halvings. Now you have to stay up late watching **CPI** data, **non-farm** data, and what the Fed’s “old man” is saying. With institutions coming in, **BTC** is now deeply tied to the stock market and macro trends. Those old on-chain activity indicators? They’re getting sidelined.

Before, we could rush in on shitcoins and dig in DeFi, discovering value earlier than institutions. Now? Institutions have Bloomberg terminals, connections at the Fed, and a whole lineup of Ivy League math prodigies. You’re staring at candlestick charts on your phone—they’re using satellites to track capital flows. Information asymmetry has turned into an information gap.

So, can **BTC** break through **80K**?

It can—actually, even higher. Because this isn’t a bull market of “betting on the size.” This is a bull market of “institutions accumulating.” The bottom will be thicker, and the odds of a brutal crash are smaller.

But this isn’t a “idealistic” digital gold revolution anymore—it has become a “realistic” asset allocation game.

Bitcoin is slowly transforming from an “alternative asset” into a “stock.” The rules are written by Wall Street, the referee is the **SEC**, and the players are BlackRock. #比特币突破7.9万美元 $BTC
