In 2025, the crypto market completed a profound role switch — the retail speculation frenzy came to an end, and institutional capital officially entered the stage. This year, my trading approach also underwent a thorough adjustment following market rhythm.
At the start of the year, it was still the old playbook. Chasing highs on altcoins driven by emotion, with only dreams of overnight riches in mind. But reality delivered a sharp slap — when the market corrected mid-year, my positions were cut in half. Only those who experience it know the feeling. The turning point came from a simple action: researching platform data, studying the holding structures and profit/loss logic of quality investors. This move directly transformed my strategy.
The new direction became clear: placing substantial bets on BTC and ETH as core assets, using them as anchors for long-term allocation. Simultaneously, leveraging trading channels from CEX to DEX, I selectively positioned tokens within promising public chain ecosystems. It sounds simple, but execution requires resisting greed. When the high-leverage liquidation wave hit at year-end, I avoided the cascading explosion risk.
The deepest insight from this year is: institutional holdings have already reached 24% of the market, which has long ceased to be a place where retail emotion can dominate. What now determines prices is macroeconomic policy direction and the genuine capital flows of large players. So investment logic must also evolve — from chasing hot spots to chasing trends, from rushing to allocating.
In this new cycle, I'll continue using tools to refine my investment methodology and walk the path of value more steadily.
