#数字资产市场动态 In 2026, the game rules of the crypto market are about to be reshuffled.

Last year's market trend revealed a phenomenon: the dramatic swings, wild celebrations, and subsequent crashes are gradually fading out. What is replacing them? Institutional funds.

With spot ETF approvals and a gradually improving compliant custody system, Wall Street is rewriting this market with real money. Investment styles are shifting from "betting on price movements" to "focusing on fundamentals," retail investors' influence is diminishing, and professional operational efficiency and risk control capabilities are becoming the new moat. Bitcoin's volatility is aligning more with tech stocks, and the once predictable four-year halving cycle is weakening.

On the Ethereum side, through upgrades and the implementation of asset tokenization, it is becoming the mainstream choice for institutional settlement. The use cases for stablecoins are also evolving—they are no longer just tools for trading cryptocurrencies. Practical applications like cross-border payments and salary settlements are opening up. Especially in the Latin American market, countries like Brazil and Argentina are launching new regulatory frameworks, visibly accelerating crypto adoption.

In short, 2026 is the era of competing strength. Projects with technology, real-world applications, and compliance will thrive.

Retail investors' voting power is really being diluted; this time it's truly different.

The institutions have finished their bottom-fishing, and the era of retail investors' frenzy should indeed come to an end.

The good days for retail investors are really coming to an end, it seems. I feel like I really need to change my approach of constantly bottom-fishing.

Retail investors' voting power diluted? Then we need to be more precise; we can't keep guessing blindly anymore.

The good days for retail investors are really coming to an end. Institutional entry means a reshuffle, and this wave definitely feels different.

Retail investor dividends are really gone, and this is the most heartbreaking part. As soon as institutions arrive, it's a blow to the lower dimension.
