Imagine if policymakers classify Ethereum as 'Digital Oil'—institutional adoption would accelerate dramatically. The pace of accumulation could outstrip individual investors' capacity to acquire positions. Such regulatory framing might reshape how governments approach major cryptocurrencies, potentially triggering faster institutional inflows than traditional market cycles allow.

Institutional entry really will push retail investors out, that's the most realistic scenario. Don't overthink it.

Now individual investors are really going to fall behind. Once institutions speed up their accumulation, retail investors won't even get a sip.

Well... even if ETH is packaged as some "digital oil," retail investors still have so little money, and when institutions scoop up the bottom, we have to settle for the scraps.

Hmm... digital oil sounds pretty impressive, but if institutions really start classifying it like that, their entry will be so fast... us small investors might be left behind, haha.

They've all been categorized as "Digital Oil," can retail investors still get a piece of the pie... It's a bit uncertain.
