Big money sticks to proven crypto.

Big money sticks to proven crypto.
In 2025, institutions keep flowing into $BTC and $ETH, while smaller alts slowly fade from the picture.
I’ve been watching these flows with my morning coffee, sun already warm on the terrace ☀️☕️
ETFs and DATs made their choice pretty clear this year: 49% of liquidity went straight into $BTC + $ETH. Another 39% flowed into the Top 10 coins (excluding them). What’s left for the rest of the market? Crumbs.
The most telling part is what’s shrinking. Smaller altcoins dropped from 15% in 2023 to 12% in 2025. It’s slow, almost boring — but relentless. Big investors don’t want stories anymore. They want depth, liquidity, and assets they can scale into without blowing up the chart.
This doesn’t mean altcoins are dead. It means the old “everything pumps together” altseason feels less obvious than before. Capital is more selective, more disciplined. Institutions aren’t here to gamble — they’re here to park serious money.
So if you’re waiting for a wild, broad altseason like the old days… patience might be tested. The market is growing up. Moins de rêve, plus de gravité.
As always, follow the flows, not the fantasies. 🌊
