JPMorgan has spoken out again: The cryptocurrency market will continue to heat up in 2026!



Last year, 2025 saw a record high in capital inflows—nearly $130 billion poured in, which says it all. But the real turning point is here: major institutional players are starting to take over from retail investors👔.

What’s the driving force behind this? Once new regulatory rules like the US “Clear Act” come into effect, the barriers for institutions to enter will be lowered, and a wave of mergers and listings in sectors like stablecoins and exchanges will follow. In other words, this is not just about capital flow, but about reshaping the landscape.

But we also need to see the current situation clearly: last year, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, along with holdings from listed companies, supported the market significantly. Now, the pace of purchases by these traditional financial institutions is slowing⏳. Venture capital enthusiasm is also waning, and trading activity is declining in tandem📉.

So the question is—when the market is mainly driven by institutions, how can retail investors keep up? Are you ready for this wave of $BTC, $ETH🤔?
BTC1,84%
ETH2,04%

Institutions taking over retail investors? That's laughable. It's just a matter of when the institutions want to dump the market; we're retail investors just being chopped up. Retail investors are basically running in place this time. We might as well wait until the institutions are full before we get a chance to breathe. 130 billion sounds like a lot, but where did all this money go? Still into the big institutions' pockets. The clear legislation is just giving them a green light. Get ready for a hammer. I'm already losing money. Even if BTC rises again, I have no bullets left.

Ha, institutions taking over retail investors? As a power bill enthusiast, I need to keep my eyes wide open and see clearly. I've reset it a few times without backing down. Now I'm just waiting to ride the wave of institutional hype for free; quietly harvesting profits is the way to go. The influx of 130 billion is indeed frightening, but the slowing purchase pace is more worth pondering... I bet this wave will have fluctuations again.

Institution takes over retail investors? Sounds pretty good, but the question is, do we retail investors still have a chance to get on board?

The era of institutional dominance has arrived; retail investors need to learn to latch onto the big players.
