Grayscale purchased more BTC, increasing the BTC holdings as the asset goes on showing bullish momentum signs on the past weekly close.

The BTC trust is by far the biggest fund that has 82% of the total investment of $4.8 billion, following the ETH trust which has about $784 million invested. The rest is divided into much smaller funds for Ethereum Classic, XRP, Zcash, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Grayscale buys shares for the investors so that they don’t have more exposure to the underlying assets. If BTC shares are trading at $11.23 and the BTC holdings per share are up almost 46% so far.

The move only shows an interest in Bitcoin and the crypto assets despite the correction by almost 20% since its peak this year. Grayscale stated that there will be a huge wealth transfer over the next quarter-century and the younger generation is interested in BTC:

 “$68 trillion will be transferred from older generations to younger generations over the next 25 years. It’s time to pay attention to the behaviors of the next generation of investors.”

The weekend has seen BTC grind slowly higher again in an attempt to get ahead of the psychological $11K price level as analyst Josh Rager observed the weekly candle close, adding that BTC trended up for the third week in a row and will remain bullish. BTC goes on to uptrend and for the third week in a row, closing the support zone of $9900:

The retest of the monthly highs is a sign that there are a lot of buyers, even more than sellers at the moment so the next level is critical and BTC has to hold the $11K zone in order to register further gains.
