This round of the market, the essence has changed.

The driving force behind Ethereum's rise is no longer retail investors chasing gains and panic selling. Whales and institutional investors are quietly changing the game—despite facing hundreds of millions in unrealized losses, they continue to add positions with composure. They are even willing to borrow funds to keep accumulating mainstream cryptocurrencies like ETH, Bitcoin, BNB, and others.

What does this reflect? A calm and persistent long-term strategy.

Compared to the FOMO and emotion-driven retail investors during the last bull market, the current capital movement appears restrained and orderly. Federal Reserve liquidity policies, continuous net inflows into institutional-grade ETF products, and policy discussions on Bitcoin's strategic reserves—these factors intertwine to create a deep-seated driving force.

While the market is still nervous about daily K-line fluctuations, the truly large funds have already prepared. This is not a "wolf is coming" game, but a quiet shift in asset allocation—tokens like SOL, ETH, Bitcoin, and others are undergoing institutional-level re-pricing.

The question is, are you still watching from the sidelines, or do you understand this new logic?

Huh, big institutions are really playing seriously this time, unlike retail investors who are scared by K-line fluctuations all day long. Watching from the sidelines for so long, I feel it's time to make some moves. Whales borrowing money to sweep the market? Oh my, this pace is too fierce. Basically, institutions are quietly bottoming out, while retail investors are still debating whether prices will go up or down. Forget it, following the trend is death, not following the trend is death too, so let's just watch the show. Really impressive, billions in floating losses still adding to positions, this mentality is incredible. So is it smarter to follow now or to catch the last wave? 🤔 The continuous net inflow of ETFs is a really attractive signal, but I'm still a bit hesitant.

Large funds are quietly making big profits, while retail investors are still watching candlestick charts and picking their noses.

From a data perspective, institutional net inflows are indeed accelerating, but caution should be exercised regarding the leverage ratio of these large holders—historical data shows this often signals a top, so don't be greedy.

Institutions are quietly accumulating positions, while retail investors are still debating the rise and fall... what a gap.
