During the holiday period, a major move by an asset management giant quietly took place. According to market monitoring, a leading asset management institution transferred a one-time total of 2,292 BTC (approximately $200 million) and 9,976 ETH (over $29 million) to a compliant platform, with a single transaction totaling $229 million. Interestingly, just a few hours later, this institution quickly repurchased part of its position.



This pattern of buying and selling, seemingly simple trading operations, actually reflects the meticulous liquidity management at the institutional level. What does it signify? The compliance channels are now mature enough to allow assets worth hundreds of millions to be freely moved between exchanges. The underlying signal is worth noting — traditional large capital is demonstrating its confidence in the crypto market through concrete actions.

There are several details that should not be overlooked. First, this giant’s total crypto holdings have surpassed $77 billion and continue to grow. Second, participation through compliant channels is no longer an isolated case but a common practice among traditional institutions. Third, short-term rebalancing often isn’t a sign of retreat but rather a setup for a longer-term, more stable position.

Don’t be fooled by the volatility of single transactions. History shows an interesting phenomenon: Bitcoin has never experienced two consecutive years of decline. Deep corrections like in 2014, 2018, and 2022 are merely preparations for the next rally. Data indicates that the average rebound after these years can reach 126%. Following this logic, if 2025 indeed ends in a decline, the price target for 2026 might be in the range of $125,000 to $200,000.

The key is to understand the rhythm of the market. True bull markets often start when retail investors are most hesitant and institutions are most engaged. When asset management giants use such "clear signals" to declare their stance, they are already opening the door to a new era of deep participation by traditional capital. Assets with top consensus in ecosystems like Ethereum often lead the way in capturing this shift in market sentiment.

Therefore, ignore short-term noise, respect the cycle’s power, and hold onto core assets steadily — this is the survival rule for ordinary investors in a bull market.

This game of institutional players entering and exiting is basically telling us—compliant channels are fully open, and the $77 billion holdings won't be messed with. The real move usually happens when retail investors are most confused. This time, the operation is probably a clear signal. Hold on to core assets, don't let short-term fluctuations affect your mindset. Historical cycles are right here; 2026 is the key.

$230 million in and out, buy back in a few hours after selling, this tactic is indeed sophisticated... institutions are playing a big game Institution holdings are at $77 billion and still rising, this is no joke. With such familiarity with compliant channels, we should realize this is no longer a bubble I believe in the pattern that Bitcoin doesn't decline for two consecutive years, but can 200,000 by 2026 really happen? It’s a bit of a gambler’s mindset Short-term portfolio adjustment ≠ running away. It’s easy to say this, but can you stay calm when holding it... The best time for retail investors to bottom fish is actually when institutions are playing their games. This wave is clearly a signal Core assets must be held steadily, but don’t be foolish and wait. The rhythm is very important

Institutions' recent moves are indeed quite something; their continuous buying and selling are just testing the depth of the market. 770 billion in holdings—when this number came out, retail investors were still debating whether prices would go up or down. They had already grasped the rhythm. Bitcoin has never declined for two consecutive years? That logic sounds tempting but also a bit… you know, history doesn’t repeat exactly. The real question is—are these "openly obvious" moves really signals, or just routine liquidity management? I find it hard to see through. ETH should be more sensitive here; the consensus on ecosystem assets is indeed different. Honestly, short-term noise should be ignored, but I worry that ignoring it might lead to a black swan event. Holding core assets is a good idea, but what exactly are core assets—that’s the real question. Mature compliance channels are a good thing, as they also make institutional entry and exit more convenient, and improve the efficiency of retail investors being "cut." Target price of 200,000 by 2026? That’s a bit… optimistic, let’s see how 2025 unfolds first. Does this move really reveal anything, or is asset management just asset management? No matter how many tricks, it can’t change cyclical laws.
