On the way to maturity
An analyst at Goldman Sachs says that Bitcoin has begun to delay its maturity as an asset class, and he believes that more support from institutional funds is needed in order to reach the level of stability in the market.

Or companies, however, institutional funds still represent a small portion of the market as a whole. The primary solution to having some kind of stability in the market is more participation by institutional investors and they are now a small number of approximately 1% of which is institutional money.
Despite the daily rapid recovery of Bitcoin by 20%, many analysts have expressed their concern that the digital currency is still moving in the bear market so far, due to the high rate of funding in the futures market and the increasing appreciation of the US dollar.
