$200 billion liquidity injection ≠ a bullish signal for crypto; institutional allocation is the key

【Crypto World】It sounds impressive to pour $200 billion into mortgage-backed securities, but in the face of a $3 trillion digital asset market, this amount isn’t actually significant. The key point is that the market shouldn’t expect money to automatically flow into high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies — that’s not how reality works.

Once mortgage rates decline, household budgets do ease up, but the released funds usually go to only two places: either saved or spent on daily consumption. The appeal of venture capital isn’t strong enough. Many people think that loose liquidity automatically means buying pressure, but that’s a misconception.

The real signals that can influence the market come from the long-term behavior of institutions — for example, pension funds starting to adjust their asset allocation strategies, or continuous net inflows into spot ETFs. These are the genuine turning points in the trend. A one-time liquidity injection? Mostly short-term hype, with little long-term influence. Who is actually building positions with real money? That’s what’s worth paying attention to.

200 billion invested still isn't close to 3 trillion, and that's the end... Real institutions building positions with real money is the true way; don't be fooled by the illusion of liquidity.

Basically, retail investors are still dreaming of catching the falling knife, while institutions are the real bosses.

Here we go again, always the same story about liquidity. $200 billion sounds impressive, but what about actual implementation? The older ladies still prefer to put their money in fixed deposits—who cares about crypto?

Basically, retail investors are still dreaming. Throwing 200 billion in isn't really a market rescue? The key still depends on how institutions play it.

Here we go again with this set of arguments. Basically, retail investors are still dreaming of airdrops, while institutions are quietly making moves. The difference is huge.
