PE firms hitting a new record for asset sales to themselves—and it's raising eyebrows. This move reflects the peculiar dynamics of today's financial markets: when traditional capital struggles to find attractive exits, self-dealing becomes the go-to playbook. It's a sign that liquidity pressures are mounting across the board. For crypto market participants, these shifts in institutional behavior matter more than you'd think. When legacy finance starts turning inward, it often signals broader risk appetite erosion—something worth monitoring if you're positioning for the next cycle.

Selling to oneself, is that called financial creativity? Haha Traditional finance is starting to compete fiercely, this signal is something we short positions need to pay attention to PE self-rescue circle, now it's their turn to taste the lack of liquidity This is the real "institutional mutual support," let's see how the crypto circle follows suit Traditional capital can't find a good exit, but we're looking for the next 1000x token, how come the gap is so big? Institutions are starting to play their own game, which means good days are really over Risk appetite is shrinking, long traders need to be careful, the cycle is coming The next bull run depends on who is left without a forced cut due to self-rescue... waiting to see

PE self-trading hits a new high, and the traditional financial circle is beginning to compete fiercely. From the growth curve of computing power networks, this just confirms that institutional risk appetite is shrinking. The next cycle of strategic opportunities may be right in front of us.

ngl, this is a sign that traditional finance can't hold up, playing with itself... the next bear market will probably come and eat us again.

Buying your own assets? This trick is so familiar. If traditional finance starts doing this, it really means they're out of money...

PE is playing with itself, this is awkward haha --- Traditional finance is starting to overheat, crypto enthusiasts should be alert --- Liquidity pressure is so high? Then we need to be careful in the next cycle --- Self-trading hits a new high... Basically, it means there's no money left --- Legacy finance is shrinking, it really feels like risk appetite is decreasing
