Two recent signals deserve careful attention. The Federal Reserve policymakers publicly expressed support for a rate cut exceeding 100 basis points within the year, which is no longer market speculation but a clear policy direction. Meanwhile, traditional financial institutions are beginning to adjust their crypto asset allocations—one major U.S. bank has included it in their standard portfolio recommendations, suggesting an allocation of around 4%.

What does the combination of these two developments imply? From a liquidity perspective, the Fed’s easing expectations have opened an active window for global funds; from an allocation standpoint, institutional investors now have clear guidance on entry. This is not just retail sentiment; it signifies a substantive shift in capital structure.

**What does the data say?**

The rate cut expectation has shifted from “Will it happen?” to “How much will it be?” The market is already pricing in a relatively loose environment. The 4% figure may sound small, but it corresponds to a trillion-level traditional capital pool. Once this money flows in, the scale will far surpass any retail-led market movements before. Bitcoin breaking through 93,000 is just the prelude; institutional-driven markets tend to have greater sustainability and depth.

But we need to stay calm here: the logic of institutional capital entering differs from retail. They prioritize core assets with the highest liquidity and consensus. Meanwhile, the market’s volatility structure is changing. You might see phases of capital withdrawal—so-called “periodic bloodletting”—which can lead to sharp local fluctuations that should not be taken lightly.

**How to proceed more safely?**

1. Focus on assets that are likely covered by institutional allocation lists, which are usually the most liquid assets.
2. Building positions gradually is more suitable than heavy one-time investments in this environment. Institutional entry tends to be slow and phased, and your strategy should reflect that.
3. Keep a close eye on actual progress through compliant channels. These are not just slogans but real pipelines for capital inflow, determining when and how much money will come in.

**Consider these questions:**

What is the reasonable target range for this market cycle? 150,000, 250,000, or even higher?

When institutional funds enter, will they prioritize Bitcoin ecosystem, Ethereum ecosystem, RWA (real-world asset tokenization), or other directions?

Can your current position structure withstand the increased volatility that may come with institutional market participation?

Answers vary from person to person, but these questions are worth asking.
