Institutional Large-Scale Transfers Draw Attention: Bitcoin and Ethereum Still Show Resilience

Since the beginning of the year, a leading asset management institution has frequently conducted large-scale fund transfers in crypto assets, attracting market attention. Despite a significant amount of Bitcoin and Ethereum being transferred, the market response has been relatively positive, with prices remaining resilient. The institution's true intentions remain unknown, and the market is awaiting further information.

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】Since the beginning of the year, actions by a leading asset management institution in the crypto assets space have attracted attention. According to on-chain data tracking, the institution deposited 1,134 Bitcoins (equivalent to $101.4 million) and 7,255 Ethereum (about $22.1 million) into a major exchange. The scale of these actions has quickly become a focal point of market discussion.

This is not an isolated event. Looking back at account records since November last year, you will find that similar large transfers have occurred frequently. Especially at the end of 2025, the institution transferred a portfolio of Bitcoin and Ethereum worth $214 million to a compliant platform. What is the logic behind such large-scale, high-frequency asset transfers? No one can say for sure at the moment.

Interestingly, the market’s reaction to these signals has not been overly pessimistic. Although short-term traders have indeed sensed some bearish signals, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum have remained quite resilient — Bitcoin rose 1.78% to $89,412.80, and Ethereum increased 2.25% to $3,048.61. This indicates that the large-scale sell-offs by major funds have not caused overwhelming downward pressure, and may have been partially absorbed by other market forces.

As for the true intentions behind these transfers, the institution remains silent for now. Are they adjusting their positions? Or preparing for certain strategies? The market is waiting for answers.

Institutions are throwing so many chips, yet the price isn't falling but rising instead? That's a clever trick, indicating that the bottom isn't that low.

Institutions dumping so many coins and it still rises, indicating the market is not panicking at all... Either they are also bullish, or the market cap is just like this --- Another coin deposit exchange, how many times has this routine been played? Every time they say they are dumping, the market moves in the opposite direction --- $101.4 million flowing into the exchange and it still can't go down? That’s really something --- Logic? No need to think so much, just follow the whales, they are building positions anyway --- Really laughable, institutions transferring coins = dumping, but the coin is still rising. Can this logic be self-consistent... --- A transfer volume of $214 million can withstand this, no problem at the bottom --- With such frequent operations by large asset managers, it doesn’t seem like they are trying to sell off, more like testing liquidity --- Short-term traders are scared again, big brother’s move is too brilliant --- The coin deposit exchange can still increase in price, indicating there are quite a few bagholders haha --- This round of institutional operation is really slick, pretending to dump, but the market doesn’t buy it at all

Institutions are疯狂砸盘? No, no, no, the price is still rising. This is true resilience. Those who are bearish should reflect. Wait, is this logic about cashing out or accumulating? I really can't understand those big institutions' twists and turns. $101.4 million投入还能涨... indicating underlying demand is there, shorts got fooled badly. This frequency is a bit intense... Could it be that some institution is again doing a shakeout? Steady is steady, but such large inflows and outflows are not necessarily conspiracy theories. Who knows what their intentions are later?

1.3 billion USD poured into exchanges... Is this to dump or to bottom out? I really can't understand the tactics of these institutions. --- Staring at on-chain data every day, and once again there's a large transfer... Why hasn't it collapsed yet? Crypto enthusiasts' resilience is incredible. --- Wait, frequent operations since November? Is there a big move coming, or is it just a washout? --- Does institutional entry mean a rise? I think the market has already digested this wave of information, and it's not as scary as previously imagined. --- Transferring to exchanges = warning of a dump? Bro, you need to update your logic, or maybe they are building positions. --- Resilience? You mean anti-drop, haha. Bitcoin has been surprisingly stable this time.

Big institutions are acting again. This rhythm doesn't seem like dumping; it feels like chip transfer. The frequency of this institutional transfer is a bit strange. Could it be paving the way for a big move? Don't worry, mainstream coins are so resilient, indicating confidence is still there. It's the same story again. As soon as on-chain data comes out, people start speculating. I just want to know whether it's a sell-off or an entry. The market is too quiet, and this is the most genuine reaction.

Institutions are messing around again? Forget it, every time this kind of news comes out, the coin doesn't drop much, which shows the market has already seen through it.

Big institutions are at it again, the frequency is really a bit outrageous... But on the other hand, the price is still holding steady and even rising. Is it because they really have confidence or are they just bluffing? --- Staring at on-chain data every day, but still can't see through what these big players are thinking. Forget it, I'll just keep stacking coins. --- A transfer of over a hundred million can make it to the trending searches? This is the power of institutional players, just scaring retail investors. --- No matter how they transfer, in the end, it still comes down to fundamentals. This current time window is indeed quite interesting. --- With such strong selling pressure, the price still rises? Either the buy-side is strong, or this is just a fake fall.

Institutions are pouring so much into the exchanges, it looks like they want to dump, but the coin price is actually holding strong... This logic is pretty clever.

Institutions are pouring so many chips into the exchange, which shows they are still optimistic. Otherwise, they would have exited early. Anyway, I don't believe they would dump the market.
