#数字资产市场动态 Institutional funds are reshaping the crypto market!

Latest data shows that the inflow of funds into the crypto space will reach $130 billion in 2025, setting a new record and doubling the previous market peak. This reflects a clear shift: large capital is treating digital assets as a serious investment allocation rather than a niche speculative tool.

Looking at this year, institutional players such as treasury companies and traditional asset management giants have become the main drivers of capital inflows. The market pattern once driven by retail investors is gradually being dominated by institutional investment logic.

Looking ahead to 2026, as inflationary pressures gradually ease and macro liquidity conditions continue to improve, analysts generally believe that enterprise-level crypto allocations will enter a period of explosive growth. In other words, cryptocurrencies are shifting from fringe assets to mainstream asset classes, competing alongside traditional reserve assets like gold and US bonds. Once large corporations truly open their wallets and enter the market, the scale of incremental funds flowing in will be unimaginable now. This wave of institutionalization, to some extent, signals that the crypto market is entering a new growth cycle.

130 billion? Are retail investors still bottom-fishing at this time haha When institutions enter, do we have to run? Or is this really different this time? Wait, they’re talking about US bonds and gold being on the same level... Why does it feel more虚 (虚 means "hollow" or "虚假" meaning fake)? They’re starting to talk about the breakout in 2026 again, why do I find it hard to believe? Big capital plays for real, we’re playing with真假参半 (真假参半 means "half true and half false")... the gap

Retail investors should start buying the dip now, the institutions have finished buying...

130 billion is really nothing; the real excitement will come when enterprise-level configurations explode. By then, retail investors will have to step aside.

$130 billion? Bro, we're just getting started. When companies really start entering the market, we can talk then. --- Is it just about institutional entry? I think it depends on how things play out later. Don’t be surprised if there's another round of wipeout. --- The era of retail investors is really over. From now on, we have to follow the smart money. --- 2026 breakout period? Come on, let’s see how the macro looks next year before talking. --- Moving the logic of gold and US bonds over—are we really treating crypto as an asset now and not gambling? Wake up, everyone. --- Doubling from $130 billion? If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in. Haha. --- When will enterprise-level deployment truly arrive? For now, it’s just talk. --- Inflation easing and liquidity improving sound great... but will it really go that smoothly? --- What was once niche is now mainstream. The times have changed, everyone. --- Imaginative incremental capital? Then just stop thinking and get on board directly.

With institutional involvement in this wave, it feels like retail investors are about to be harvested... $130 billion sounds intimidating, but when it actually reaches individuals' hands, it's a whole different story.

Is 130 billion real? It feels like the New Year just passed. Is this institutional entry serious, or is it just the prelude to a new round of retail investors getting chopped?
