CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has suggested that 
Bitcoin could find a price floor near $30,000 even if institutional investors and public companies significantly reduce their holdings.
This scenario would involve reversing approximately $58 billion in net inflows to US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the sale of 1.3 million BTC currently held by publicly traded companies.
The analysis comes at a time when Bitcoin's market cap stands at $1.66 trillion, with the cryptocurrency trading at $48,408, showing a 0.94% increase over the past 24 hours.
Despite the potential for institutional divestment, the current market sentiment, as indicated by the Fear & Greed index at 59 (Greed), suggests a relatively positive outlook.
The broader crypto market remains largely flat, with a total market cap of $2.83 trillion, indicating that Bitcoin's potential resilience could be a key factor in maintaining overall market stability.
