A New Driver of Bitcoin Growth: Experts Identify a Key Factor
Date: 2025-09-24 Author: Oliver Abernathy Categories: CRYPTO PAYMENTS
Following the massive liquidations of positions on September 22, when the total volume of closed trades exceeded $1.7 billion, the leading cryptocurrency has managed to stabilize. According to QCP Capital, Bitcoin has held between $110,000 and $120,000 in recent months, demonstrating low volatility amid heightened interest in altcoins. However, following a sharp decline, investor activity is shifting back to Bitcoin.
Bets on the "alt season," made by market players thanks to the rise of ASTER, HYPE, and PUMP tokens, have come under pressure. The altcoin index fell from 100 to 65 points, while Bitcoin's share of the crypto market capitalization rose above 58%. Meanwhile, Ethereum's share has fallen to 12%, which, according to experts, indicates a return of capital to more reliable assets.
The support of institutional investors also remains a key factor. Strategy and Metaplanet continue to increase their positions in Bitcoin, and fresh inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs over the past week indicate active buying during the correction. This confirms that demand for the leading cryptocurrency remains robust, even amid short-term fluctuations.
Notably, September, historically considered a weak month for cryptocurrencies, saw Bitcoin rise by more than 4%. QCP Capital forecasts that October could be a more active period, with the dynamics largely determined by the macroeconomic situation in the US.
The situation is further supported by data from Fidelity: according to the company's experts, large holders and funds could withdraw over 6 million Bitcoin from circulation by the end of the year. This reduction in available supply will exacerbate the market shortage and drive the price above $110,000.
Thus, the key catalyst for Bitcoin's new surge is a combination of institutional buying, declining interest in altcoins, and the projected supply shortage. Experts emphasize that these factors are likely to return Bitcoin to its role as the market's primary focus in the coming months.
