2025 has reshaped the underlying logic of the crypto market.

Take a look at these changes: the source of funds has shifted from retail dominance to large-scale institutional entry; asset value support has evolved from speculative concepts to real on-chain liquidity and trading volume; the entire industry has gradually moved from a gray area into a regulated era.

What do these changes mean? How will 2026 evolve? This analysis will clarify it for you.

Institutional entry is inevitable. I've seen this trend coming a long time ago. The era of retail investors getting chopped up is bound to end, and it's our turn, the seasoned traders, to reap the benefits now.

Institutional entry sounds exciting, but in reality, it's just a new way for retail investors to get cut. Retail investors really need to wake up. In this era of regulation, how can we still make quick money? That's why I keep saying don't follow the crowd blindly; you need to understand on-chain data.

Institutional entry sounds good, but do retail investors still have a way out?

Regarding institutional entry, let me see what on-chain data has to say... You can't just rely on concepts. Retail investors have finished their cut; is it now the institutions' turn to stir up some waves? Interesting. Standardization sounds good, but has true liquidity growth been achieved? Need to clarify one thing. 2026? First, get the 2025 accounts straightened out before talking. Don't let it turn into another inflated story. It's called evolution in a nice way, but in harsh terms, it's just a different way of cutting leeks. From an engineering perspective, it's still the same logic. For this kind of "great transformation" hype, I want to see evidence at the source code level. Just talking without action is pointless.
