In 2025, capital influx into the crypto market is characterized by high concentration.



Spot ETFs and digital asset tools continue to channel liquidity into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a few leading large-cap coins. Meanwhile, the large-scale altcoin rotation that the market has been anticipating has not yet started. This reflects an institutional capital allocation tilt—incremental capital entering through regulated channels primarily focuses on mainstream coins rather than dispersing into long-tail assets. As a result: although the market has gained new flows, their distribution is highly uneven, exacerbating valuation concentration among top coins.

It's the same story of BTC and ETH eating the meat, while small-cap coins sip the soup... This is how institutions operate—safety first.

The spring of altcoins is still a long way off. Institutions are only interested in mainstream coins. It seems we have to wait and see if there are any more surprises.

Xiong Xiong is heartbroken. This wave is clearly institutions playing the "Matthew Effect"—big coins and second-tier coins get the meat, while small coins can't even get the broth.

It's the same old story again. When institutions enter the market, they only focus on BTC and ETH. The spring of altcoins is still a long way off.
