2025 Start: Gold Soars, Oil Declines, Why Are Institutions Still Buying Up Bitcoin and Ethereum?

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】2025 has just begun, and the market is already experiencing a wave of intense asset rotation. Amid the gloom cast by tariff expectations and liquidity tightening, gold has surged—up by 62.6% for the year. In comparison, oil has fallen by 21.5%, and Bitcoin has not been spared, declining by 6.4%.

But here’s the interesting part.

In this market chaos, corporate digital asset management firms have instead injected nearly $50 billion in real funds into Bitcoin and Ethereum. How significant is this? It has already accounted for more than 5% of the total supply of these two assets. Looking at it from another perspective, while the entire market is oscillating and adjusting, institutional investors are quietly positioning themselves. What does this imply? It indicates confidence in the bottom— they are betting on a recovery after the market resets.

BTC-1,48%
ETH-2,6%

Institutions are pouring money in, indicating they truly believe we've hit the bottom. Spending 50 billion yuan in one go, retail investors can only watch in awe... Gold has already risen this much, and some still dare to go all-in on the crypto market? That's impressive. Wait, is this data the latest? It seems a bit off. If institutions are willing to make serious moves, then I dare to follow... Those who position at the bottom always earn the most; this logic is solid. Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parent, Teacher — institutions should trust the most.

Institutions are pouring 50 billion into BTC and ETH. Have these guys really seen through it? Or is this just a false alarm before another round of harvesting...

The institutions' moves are really aggressive this time. They dared to dump 50 billion when prices were falling, still showing confidence. When gold prices surged dramatically, we were bottom-fishing. That's the gap, right? Wait, is that 62.6% annualized or for the whole year? Gold's rise is a bit outrageous. The term "bottom confidence" sounds nice, but I'm worried it's just a flying knife. A 5% market share sounds significant, but whether it can withstand the next round depends on how things develop later. Entering at this point requires either genius or foolishness. I think the institutions chose the former.

When institutions are frantically buying up, retail investors are still taking losses—that's the gap... --- Gold surges dramatically while oil crashes, yet Bitcoin is actually being bought at the bottom? $50 billion is no small amount; there really is value at this bottom. --- Wait, are institutions truly planning for recovery or just betting on a rebound? Feels a bit different. --- 5% of the supply—if it really gets pulled up... I'm still too inexperienced. --- Only at critical moments can you see who truly understands; retail investors run away while institutions enter the market. The story always follows this pattern. --- Gotta admit, institutions have incredible instincts; their ability to find opportunities amid chaos is truly impressive. --- Gold has already surged so much, but the crypto world is still being bloodied? The market logic is so absurd.

Institutions are really accumulating at the dip, with only 5% of the supply. This market is a bit too big. --- Gold is rising so aggressively, but I still believe in Bitcoin's long-term logic. What are the institutions doing? --- Wait, 50 billion USD? Those guys aren’t afraid of a dip. Are they really bottom-fishing or do they have other plans? --- Oil plummets, gold surges, BTC dips slightly. This rhythm is a bit strange, but if institutions dare to sweep, it means they see something we can't see, right? --- Hold on, institutions are lurking. This is a bottom signal. --- Oh my, 50 billion directly poured in. That courage, I’m envious. --- Bottom recovery? Or just a prelude for institutions to harvest new retail investors. Who knows? --- Despite tariffs and liquidity tightening, they still dare to enter. These people either bet right or are just foolish—there’s no middle ground.

Institutions are sweeping 50 billion, is this a bottoming? It feels like the recent rise in gold is just shifting attention. --- BTC drops 6 points and people start panicking? Let's see what institutions are doing before speaking. --- 5% of the supply is directly bought in, this bottom information is quite significant. --- Although gold has risen, it's just so-so; the key is to see how the crypto market moves next. --- Really? Institutions are sweeping so aggressively? Then I should consider bottom fishing too. --- Oil breaks below, gold celebrates, the market logic is a bit chaotic... but the actions of institutions are quite clear. --- Even with liquidity tightening, they still dare to pour money in, these people really believe in the future. --- Pouring 50 billion, it's like betting on a major reversal... let's look forward to it.
