Asset management firm Bitwise has laid out bold predictions for the crypto market heading into 2026. According to their latest analysis, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are all positioned to reach new all-time highs next year. What's driving this optimism? The firm points to a powerful trend: institutional ETFs are expected to absorb virtually all newly minted BTC, ETH, and SOL supply as institutional capital continues flowing into digital assets. This dynamic could create significant supply constraints, particularly as demand from traditional finance channels accelerates. The scenario suggests that retail investors may face tighter liquidity at key price levels if institutions maintain their acquisition pace.

The institutional vampires have come, and retail investors have to drink the soup again... But we can't be sure about this wave of rise.

Institutions make money while small investors are left with the scraps, this logic is ironclad.

Institutions are taking the pie, retail investors are drinking the soup... This logic sounds very familiar.

Institutions take the big piece, retail investors get the leftovers. Have you really believed this after hearing it so many times?

Institutions are eating the meat, while we are drinking the soup. This is the reality.

Here comes the again to fool retail investors with the supply tightening? Institutions get the meat while we drink the soup—I'm tired of hearing this spiel.

Institutions taking over, retail investors getting burned—We've seen this script so many times, is it still interesting?

It's true that while being bearish, the fact that institutional ETFs are absorbing all the new supply... is indeed something worth noting [Thought]
