Increasing Interest in Bitcoin Among US Investors
As the United States gears up for Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, there has been a noticeable surge in interest in Bitcoin among US investors.
Positive Trends in Bitcoin Market Data
- Data from CryptoQuant reveals that the Coinbase Premium Index (CPI) briefly turned positive on Jan. 16, indicating increased demand for BTC on the US-based exchange.
- Although the CPI has since dipped back into negative territory, other indicators like OTC trading on Coinbase Prime suggest strong accumulation trends.
Institutional Interest and ETF Inflows
- There has been a rise in OTC trading on Coinbase Prime, a platform favored by institutional investors for large Bitcoin transactions, indicating growing interest from US-based institutions.
- US Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant turnaround with over $1.3 billion in fresh investments in the last two days, showcasing renewed investor confidence in the digital asset.

Impact on Bitcoin’s Price Trajectory
Market analysts believe that the combination of increased Coinbase Premium activity, higher OTC trading, and significant ETF inflows represents a concerted effort by US investors to strengthen their position in the Bitcoin market.

This momentum could play a crucial role in shaping Bitcoin’s price trajectory leading up to the inauguration. Currently, BTC’s price has increased by more than 3% in the last 24 hours, reaching $104,000 at press time.
