Crypto Market Cap Stalls at $3.7T While Retail Flees & Institutions Gobble Up BTC and ETH
Crypto Market Cap Stalls at $3.7T While Retail Flees & Institutions Gobble Up BTC and ETH

Market hits resistance at $3.7 trillion as weak hands cash out—just as smart money loads up on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Here’s why the ‘dumb money’ might regret this rotation.
The Great Divide: Retail traders panic-sell while hedge funds and corporate treasuries double down on crypto’s blue chips. Same market, opposite bets.
Institutional FOMO: With BTC and ETH absorbing 78% of large inflows (because apparently altcoins still scare the suits), Wall Street’s playing catch-up—again.
The Irony: Mom-and-pop investors ditch positions right as BlackRock’s crypto AUM hits another record. Nothing like watching amateurs fund professionals’ yachts.
One hedge fund MD quipped: ‘We love when retail acts as our liquidity provider.’ Ouch.
