Retail Traders Are Vanishing - Shocking Insights from Coinbase Q3 Report
Remember the retail trading frenzy of 2021? The story has completely flipped.
Coinbase's latest data just dropped, and it's mind-blowing:
- 81.6% of volume = Institutional money
- Retail traders = mere 18.4%
- Total volume crashed 18% (from $22.6B to $18.5B)
But here's where it gets interesting:
- BTC quietly climbed to 37% (+2%)
- ETH barely holding at 15%
- USDT surged to 15%
- Alts bleeding out to 33%
Connect the dots:
Institutions are dumping alts into USDT, then loading up on BTC. Retail? They've been pushed out entirely.
The market never tells you its next move - but the data does.
Is this the final institutional harvest, or the beginning of a new bull run?
What's your take? 🤔
