Instead, institutions, corporations, financial advisors, and even governments are now the dominant forces behind Bitcoin\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p>While big names like BlackRock, Fidelity, and ARK Invest drive ETF investments, Horsley points out that it\u2019s still largely retail money flowing into these institutional channels.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/strategy-and-metaplanet-see-record-bitcoin-gains-amid-market-surge\/\" title=\"Strategy and Metaplanet See Record Bitcoin Gains Amid Market Surge\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/gold-coin-with-bitcoin-symbol-on-it-cryptocurrency-btc-1-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Strategy and Metaplanet See Record Bitcoin Gains Amid Market Surge<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Recent data supports this view.

Bitcoin is no longer a novelty; the general public is already familiar with it.
