#ETH走势分析 🔥 Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary's recent comments have caused a stir in the industry—he bluntly said: "The real big money is coming soon, but they only recognize $BTC and $ETH. The rest? Forget it."



These words sound harsh, but if you think about it, the logic does hold up.

What do institutional players want? Deep liquidity, regulatory frameworks, and long-term value support. Projects hyped up by narratives may excite retail investors, but when it comes to the risk control standards of pension funds and sovereign wealth funds? They can't even clear the first hurdle.

📊 There are already signs in the market:

MicroStrategy is still quietly buying Bitcoin, COINBASE stock is quietly rising, and Robinhood's crypto business data is impressive. More importantly, CITC’s government-backed trading platform has already gone live—which means the entry channel for traditional financial institutions is truly open.

To put it plainly, once the regulatory framework is in place and compliant channels are open, capital won't be scattered aimlessly. They'll choose assets that have been market-tested, are technologically mature, and have well-developed ecosystems. How many meet these criteria right now? You can count them on your fingers.

💭 This leads to another question:

If mainstream capital really enters on a large scale, will the market structure change completely? How much longer can community-driven calls and rotating hotspots last?

Anyway, O'Leary's stance is already very clear. You may disagree with his assessment, but you can't ignore the force he represents—those institutional players who control massive capital and care about risk-reward ratios.

How do you think things will play out next? Does your portfolio structure need adjustment? Feel free to share your thoughts.

To be honest, it's really tough times for small-cap coins. Only recognizing BTC and ETH makes sense logically, but it also means that retail investors have less and less room to dream.

O'Leary is absolutely right, big players only trust these two.

O'Reilly is absolutely right; institutions just go for this.

Alright, O'Leary is absolutely right... Institutions only recognize BTC and ETH, I've been all-in for a long time. This isn't a coincidence, it's inevitable. Other coins? I've cleared them out long ago, seriously, didn't keep a single one.

O'Leary is absolutely right, institutions only play with mainstream coins because their risk tolerance is set. Retail investors are still dreaming of an altseason, while institutions have already all in on BTC. Once the compliant channels are open, other coins really won't stand much of a chance. Hold your positions firm and wait for the big money to take over. With institutions entering the market this round, the retail-driven rally is really over. Honestly, not stacking BTC and ETH now is kind of foolish. With mainstream capital coming in, how can small coins play? They're basically done for. The market structure is definitely going to reshuffle, and retail investors who can't adapt will be forced out. Looking at MicroStrategy's moves, I'm honestly impressed—just two words: all in. After the regulatory framework is set, don't expect to make quick money by rotating into hot coins anymore. O'Leary's words sting, but honestly, they're just facts.

O'Leary is absolutely right, institutions only recognize BTC and ETH as the main assets. The copycat coins are probably doomed. We should liquidate our positions.

O'Leary's words sound right, but I always feel he underestimates those "don't even think about it" coins. To be honest, institutional entry is a major trend, but the ones who really make big money have never been those who just hold BTC and sleep on it.

Same old story: when institutions enter the market, they only buy BTC and ETH? I just want to see if they’ll change their tune when they actually put real money in.
