Institutional investors apparently have no interest in altcoins as data from Bybit Research show half of institutional’s portfolio is allocated to Bitcoin.

Bybit Research의 데이터에 따르면 기관 포트폴리오의 절반이 비트코인에 할당되어 있으므로 기관 투자자는 알트코인에 관심이 없는 것으로 보입니다.

Institutions are more interested in Bitcoin (BTC), than Ethereum (ETH) or altcoins, according to a new data from Bybit Research.

Bybit Research의 새로운 데이터에 따르면 기관들은 이더리움(ETH)이나 알트코인보다 비트코인(BTC)에 더 관심이 있는 것으로 나타났습니다.

As crypto markets have experienced extreme volatility in 2022, institutional investors increased their Bitcoin holdings during the initial three quarters of 2023, a pattern “distinct from that of other users,” the report says.

보고서는 암호화폐 시장이 2022년에 극심한 변동성을 경험함에 따라 기관 투자자들이 2023년 첫 3분기 동안 비트코인 ​​보유량을 늘렸다고 밝혔는데, 이는 "다른 사용자들과는 다른" 패턴이라고 합니다.

“Of particular interest is the fact that, in September, half of INS’s asset portfolio was allocated to BTC.”

“특히 흥미로운 점은 9월 INS 자산 포트폴리오의 절반이 BTC에 할당되었다는 사실입니다.”

As per analysts, the prevailing positive market sentiment toward Bitcoin can be attributed to “favorable lawsuit outcomes,” as the market anticipates good outcome for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, retail traders in the meantime “exhibit the lowest holding percentage in BTC” compared to institutions, which might be due to their “comparatively higher leverage levels,” Bybit suggests.

It appears institutions have also started slowly allocating their funds to Ethereum since Sept. 2023, but analysts think this surge of activity may have to do with institutions’ “general upbeat sentiment toward crypto” as VIP and retail traders are demonstrating lack of interest in Ethereum since the Shanghai upgrade (also known as “Shapella”).

기관들도 2023년 9월부터 서서히 이더리움에 자금을 할당하기 시작한 것으로 보이지만, 분석가들은 VIP 및 소매 거래자들이 이더리움에 대한 관심이 부족함을 보여주면서 이러한 활동 급증은 기관의 "암호화폐에 대한 전반적인 낙관적 정서"와 관련이 있을 수 있다고 생각합니다. 상하이 업그레이드 이후(“Shapella”라고도 함)

For the research report, Bybit generated data based on its active users base from Dec. 2022 – Sept. 2023. VIP traders are said to be investors with holding portfolio worth more than $50,000.

Meanwhile, crypto industry executives have declared the start of a new bull run, with more voices calling for new all-time highs for Bitcoin above $100,000 in 2024. For instance, Pascal Gauthier, CEO of Ledger, noted in an interview with CNBC that 2023 was a year of preparation for the growth ahead, adding that the sentiment for 2024 and 2025 is “very encouraging.”
