Ryan Watkins, research at Messari, explained what will happen if institutional investors gain exposure to the top leading asset. His prediction will come true if the Bitcoin market receives capital inflows from endowments and foundations, sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds, family offices, and pension funds.
Watkins said:
“Depending on your assumptions, an aggregate 1% institutional allocation to Bitcoin can easily bring Bitcoin’s market cap above $1 trillion…This is why enthusiasts get so excited about the prospect of institutional inflows. 1% is a lot when everyone does it.”

But Bitcoin wrapped in a volatility and high risk is attached as many regulatory bodies of the world have not recognized it as an asset.
“[Investors] simply cannot bear risk like retail investors can without taking the necessary time and effort to get comfortable.”
Watkins quoted the example of a veteran hedge fund manager who is an exception. In May, Paul Tudor Jones allocated 1-3 % of his portfolio worth $22 billion for Bitcoin futures.
He went to explain that the amount invests in the BTC market are hedge fund:
“Among the most likely to invest in Bitcoin are hedge funds, which have some of the most flexible investment mandates… Hedge funds can virtually invest in any asset class and financial instrument they agree to with their [limited partnerships].”
