After months of silence, the crypto market has finally regained some warmth. Looking back, many turned their attention to traditional safe-haven assets, but now the trend has shifted—retail enthusiasm is reigniting, and mainstream cryptocurrencies are beginning to gain momentum. XRP has performed the most impressively in this rebound, leading the mainstream camp in gains. Ethereum has also done well, with staking volumes steadily increasing, indicating that holders' confidence in the ecosystem is recovering. In comparison, the story of BTC seems somewhat dull. Many believe that Bitcoin's safe-haven properties are not as straightforward as traditional precious metals, reflecting subtle changes in market sentiment. But there is a key variable worth noting: the distribution of BTC holdings has undergone a significant shift. Major funds are already in the hands of institutions, whose holding strategies are long-term, often measured in years. This structural change is actually very important—when large positions are locked in by long-term capital, market volatility can be effectively suppressed. The risk of sharp declines triggered by panic emotions is greatly reduced. Frequent strategic moves by institutions and large investors send a clear signal: they are betting on long-term gains. From the perspective of spot traders, this low-volatility, institutionally favored pattern actually creates a favorable environment for operations. A consensus at the market bottom is forming.

USELESS This wave of market rally has a good increase, and most friends who didn't hold their positions yesterday are probably regretting it. To be honest, it took more than seven hours from opening the position to reaching the target price, and this process truly tests one's patience. Looking at the feedback from fans, many can't withstand this kind of time consumption and ultimately choose to take profits early and exit. My advice at the time was very straightforward: if your mindset collapses, it's okay to protect your capital and exit, don't hold on forcibly. However, trading is such that missing a wave isn't a big deal. The key is to seize the next opportunity. Now, I am continuing to organize my thoughts and plan for the next round. Partners interested in copying trades can pay attention. Additionally, the news about Ripple building a $1 billion XRP reserve pool is also fermenting, and it's worth watching the long-term trends of mainstream cryptocurrencies.
