Crypto Sell-Off Exposes Institutional Backbone in 2026

Forbes frames the early 2026 plunge as proof of TradFi integration, with BTC accumulation in 10-100 BTC wallets near $60K despite yen carry unwinds. BlackRock's Uniswap BUIDL listing spotlights DeFi convergence.

Sell-off mirrors equities/bonds correlations, not past fraud panics. Forbes highlights broad wallet builds, institutional depth via ETFs. Unique: yen unwind hit but whales bought, showing resilience.

Institutional investors see maturity: shocks absorbed, regulated capital inflows beckon. Strategic buys now position for growth beyond cycles.

This dip proves crypto's institutional steel. Accumulate confidently—structural bull intact. Institutions lead, follow wisely.
