Today is a special day. The US Bitcoin Spot ETF just celebrated its two-year anniversary.
Looking back to January 11, 2024, when the first US Bitcoin Spot ETF was launched and began trading. At that time, Bitcoin hovered around $46,000, and the market was uncertain whether institutional funds would really flood in. Some were optimistic, but many remained on the sidelines.
Two years have passed, and reality has provided a clear answer.
The most direct indicator is the scale of funds. The assets under management of the US Bitcoin Spot ETF have approached $120 billion. Large capital sources like pension funds, family offices, and hedge funds are increasingly entering through this compliant channel. They are not here for short-term speculation but are making long-term allocations.
Price movements also reflect this change. Starting from $46,000, Bitcoin has risen steadily and is now stable around $90,000. This is not just a numerical doubling; behind it is a shift in the nature of the capital—long-term holders have significantly increased, market selling pressure has weakened, and volatility has decreased.
An interesting point is that over these two years, Bitcoin has completely shed its label as a "niche investment." It is no longer synonymous with "speculative tool," but has entered the realm of institutional asset allocation. From a highly volatile speculative asset, it has gradually evolved into a store of digital value. This transformation may seem subtle but is profoundly meaningful.
January 11, 2024, may well be the moment Bitcoin truly opened the door to Wall Street. From that day on, Bitcoin’s story is no longer confined to the crypto circle but has become a new chapter in the financial world.

No hype, no negativity. Doubling in two years really shows that institutional investment is not just talk.
That bunch on Wall Street has finally taken it seriously.
From 4.6 to 90,000, the key is that there are more long-term holders, and the selling pressure isn't as fierce. That's the core.
As I always say, when pension funds start to allocate, it truly becomes different.
The two-year anniversary is indeed significant, a landmark day.
With a scale of 120 billion, it indicates that major institutions are already involved. The story is just beginning.

Really, in two years, from skepticism to a scale of 120 billion, the institutions' move is serious.
Wall Street has opened its doors. Is the spring for crypto people finally here? Or is it just a change of ownership...
From 4.6 to 90,000, more than doubling, this number looks great.
Shifting from speculating on artworks to asset allocation—sounds nice, but are the holders really secure?
What do those who were watching on the sidelines feel now? Haha

Doubling in two years, once institutions get involved, everything changes. Now they are focusing on long-term allocation, while retail investors are still debating when to sell.

It really is true. In just two years, from 46,000 to 90,000. This round of institutional entry definitely didn't go to waste... Even pension funds are stepping in to buy in, and I knew the story was about to change.

Damn, it's been two years. From 4.6 to 90,000. This is exactly the story of Wall Street taking over.
