Every time the market fluctuates, retail investors are frantically selling off, but do you know? Institutional investors on the other side have long been building positions with full force.

Look at how absurd the current situation is—among the top 25 banks in the US, 14 have officially developed BTC products. And this is no joke; over 1,000 institutions worldwide already hold BTC ETFs. What does that mean? It indicates that institutions have long regarded BTC as a long-term strategic asset.

The data is clear: banks and corporations together control about 6.2% of the BTC supply. The management scale of BTC ETFs in the US has already reached $134.6 billion. These are not small numbers.

Specifically, major financial giants like Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley are quietly laying out plans. PNC Bank is even more impressive, directly offering BTC trading services to clients. These institutional investors view BTC not as a short-term speculation but as a long-term holding for stable returns.

By the time retail investors react, it might already be too late.

Retail investors are still taking losses, while the veterans have already had their fill. Even seasoned traders have seen through this trick.

Another story about cutting retail investors' leeks, I've heard this explanation a thousand times... I've already seen through it, institutions and retail investors are not even playing the same game... So should I now buy the dip or keep pulling back? I really don't understand... 6.2% sounds significant, but it's not enough to keep me awake at night... Wait, they're building positions and I'm also building positions, why am I still losing? Did I misunderstand this logic... Institutions hold long-term positions, retail investors have already been washed out, it's exhausting...

Here comes the saying of cutting leeks again, but the data does show some substance. When retail investors panic, it's exactly when big players jump in. This logic holds true regardless of where you place it. The $134.6 billion BTC ETF indicates that institutions are really pouring in real money, unlike retail investors who often cut losses impulsively. I've seen through it long ago; by the time ordinary people react, they'll basically be the bagholders.
