Institutional FOMO Rising as Crypto Supply Tightens, Says Coinbase Strategist

Coinbase’s Head of Institutional Strategy, John D’Agostino, says institutional demand for Bitcoin is surging due to growing scarcity. Fueled by the rapid inflow into BTC ETFs.
He cites four key drivers: Bitcoin decoupling from tech stocks, acting as an inflation hedge, competing with gold, and now, limited supply unable to keep up with demand. D’Agostino also highlights a critical but overlooked point — most financial advisors still aren’t allowed to recommend Bitcoin ETFs to clients. Once that restriction lifts, he suggests institutional interest could accelerate even further.
