【Crypto World】Institutions’ appetite for Bitcoin has not diminished. According to data, approximately 577,000 BTC were added to U.S. custody wallets last year, equivalent to $53 billion in real money. What does this indicate? It shows that major institutions are still continuously buying in.

Some may ask, what does this number really mean? The answer is simple—large funds are positioning themselves, and the growth of custody wallets is itself a good signal. These amounts are beyond the reach of small investors; behind them are continuous accumulations by institutions and major players. Prices may fluctuate, but this steady inflow of funds precisely reflects that institutional confidence remains strong.

$53 billion in the market, these big players are really not afraid at all --- Wait, how is this number calculated... 577,000 BTC, is that real? --- Institutional buying is exploding, retail investors are still debating when to bottom fish --- The capital inflow trend is stable... In other words, big players are stockpiling to prepare for a harvest --- I just want to know when these 577,000 coins will be dumped --- Real money, $53 billion, institutions really don’t understand small investors --- Growth in custody wallets = full confidence? Or maybe it's just the prelude to a rug pull --- This wave of big institutions increasing their positions, our small retail funds are really just a drop in the bucket --- Buying continuously... then I should probably keep up with the pace, right? --- Why does it feel like the more aggressive the institutions are in their layout, the greater the market risk?

Big institutions are really aggressive this time, 577,000 coins, and 53 billion dollars have quietly flowed in. Retail investors can only watch the dust settle. Institutions are playing a big game; we need to keep up with the pace. It's the same old story with institutions and custodial wallets. This kind of rhetoric is getting a bit tiresome, but the data is truly eye-opening. 53 billion USD, brother. This is not small-scale; the big players are really laying the foundation. The rapid increase in custodial wallets—what does it indicate? It shows that smart money is positioning itself in advance.

577,000 tokens? You need to look at this number carefully, including collateralization ratios, liquidation thresholds, and so on. Don't just get excited by the entry numbers. The more institutions buy, the more we need to be cautious about leveraged positions. Once market fluctuations trigger liquidation risks, retail investors like us will be the first to suffer. Real money of 53 billion sounds impressive, but the key point is that all these are in custody. Is the risk control mechanism fully in place? That's the real issue.

$53 billion, huh? That's quite a move... Institutions really see BTC as a strategic asset, while retail investors can only follow suit and watch it gather dust.

53 billion dollars in, this is not small-scale; the big players are really placing their bets --- 577,000 coins? Forget it, I’ll just look at the custody wallet numbers; everything else is just smoke and mirrors --- Hold on, institutional accumulation doesn’t necessarily mean the price will go up; there are too many lessons from history --- It seems like good news, but why do I always feel something’s off... --- They’ve moved everything into custody wallets, I see through this tactic --- The capital inflow looks good, but the real test is still ahead --- Institutions have money and patience; retail investors can’t outlast their game --- 53 billion here, should I be nervous or excited? --- Adding to positions is fine, but if this thing drops, no one can save it --- The layout is good, but I’m worried it might be a huge trap

53 billion USD, now that's real money talk. Small investors playing with a few thousand dollars is like ants nibbling on an elephant's leg.
