Digital Asset Fund Flows Surge as Institutions Position for Next Rally

Wall Street's crypto embrace accelerates despite regulatory headwinds

Institutional Money Floods In

Digital asset investment products recorded their largest weekly inflows since the 2021 bull market, with Bitcoin capturing the lion's share. Institutional players are building positions while retail investors remain hesitant—classic Wall Street timing that usually means they know something the little guy doesn't.

ETF Dominance Continues

US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs accounted for nearly 80% of total flows, proving the SEC's approval wasn't just symbolic. These regulated vehicles are sucking capital away from traditional exchanges, creating a parallel financial system right under regulators' noses.

Altcoins Play Catch-Up

While Bitcoin dominated volume, Ethereum and Solana saw notable institutional interest. The smart money appears to be diversifying beyond the flagship cryptocurrency—either that or they're just spreading their bets before the next regulatory crackdown.

Traditional finance keeps treating crypto like a speculative toy while quietly building massive positions. The irony would be delicious if it weren't so predictable.

Wallet controversy and online debate

Eye later claimed Jin was a Hyperliquid whale controlling over 100,000 BTC. Jin responded by saying the wallet belonged to a client and criticized former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao for sharing “personal and private information” by reposting Eye’s X post to over 10 million followers.

Not everyone is convinced by Eye’s findings. Crypto sleuth ZachXBT suggested a “friend of Jin” might be behind the trades, while analyst Quinten Francois described the evidence as “too convenient” to directly LINK Jin to the wallet.

Insider trading in crypto: A recurring concern

Allegations of insider trading are not new in the crypto world. Earlier this year, traders made over $482,000 on Bubb (BUBB) memecoin, according to Lookonchain, shortly before its price dropped 50%. Similarly, Trump’s OFFICIAL TRUMP token attracted attention after a wallet purchased $6 million within a minute of its launch.

While Garrett Jin denies any wrongdoing, the incident highlights ongoing concerns about market manipulation and transparency in the crypto industry.
