Recently, the market has become lively again. Some say that a large asset management institution is crazily selling coins, with BTC and ETH being frequently dumped, and the daily trading volume has exceeded 250 million USD. It sounds like it's going to collapse, but is it really the case?



Actually, that's not the case. On-chain data does show large sell-offs, but the rhythm needs to be examined closely. The volume sold calculated by the minute sounds alarming, but this kind of controlled, rhythmic continuous selling is completely different from a panic sell-off where everything is dumped all at once. The former is a standard institutional operation, while the latter is a true panic escape.

Why did they specifically target these two coins? Simply put, it's because they have the strongest liquidity and are the easiest to sell. When institutions need to adjust their asset allocation, respond to user redemptions, or shuffle funds, they will definitely sell what is "easiest to liquidate," not what is "least favored." This is common sense.

Let's take another look at the background. This institution had recently been promoting spot ETFs and derivatives, making its "long-term bullish" stance clear. Now, this move seems more like a phased profit-taking and rebalancing rather than a complete withdrawal. Experienced institutions never make decisions based on emotions; every step is calculated.

Why do retail investors get nervous? It's probably because they habitually see "selling" as "bearish." But in the logic of institutions, selling is just to buy more efficiently in the next step.

So back to reality: this is not a flight before a tsunami, but more like shifting gears in a storm. Rather than getting caught up in how much has been sold, it's better to see clearly – where will this money ultimately flow? That's what is truly worth pondering.

The storytelling has started again. When institutions sell coins, it must be a rebalancing, right? It can't really be bearish? Are we too naive or is this logic just full of traps?

It’s again this "Don’t panic, don’t panic, it’s just a repositioning" rhetoric, which I’ve heard countless times. The question is, will this money really come back?

Here we go again, every time they say "See clearly where the money went," but how many have actually tracked it down?

It has started again, a group of people starts screaming that the sky is falling when they see the dump volume. Wake up, this is just institutions switching gears, not a flight for their lives.

Here comes another set of "This is rational selling, not panic dumping" rhetoric. Alright, I believe you.

Ah, another wave of "institutional dumping" shocking news, the retail investors must be scared to death. To be honest, I'm a bit tired of this logic - every time there's a large dump, the whole internet screams that the sky is falling, and then, the money is just the same money, just going in circles. That said, the author's analysis is quite decent, after all, not every sell-off equals getting out of positions. It's just... I'm more concerned about whether these institutions are really that rational? Or are they just speculating on expectations? --- Retail investors are always guessing, institutions are always profiting, this is the truth of the market. --- The question arises, will this money really flow back into the crypto world? Or will it just go to speculate on options, spot ETFs, and other compliant things? --- I'm a bit tired, with news like this every day, who still cares? Anyway, the falls will fall, and the rises will rise. --- It sounds good, but in the end, where this money flows to, we can't see clearly at all. Data transparency? Heh.
