But then on the other hand, institutions constantly sell and buy as thats their whole business.

90% not selling is the opportunistic pov.
10% selling is too much.

tldr; BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Robert Mitchnick, stated that 90% of its Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) holders did not sell during a recent 47% market drawdown, showing strong conviction among retail investors and financial advisors. On-chain data supports this, with Bitcoin supply on exchanges at its lowest since 2017, indicating long-term holders are moving coins to storage. BlackRock also launched a staked Ether ETF, signaling its growing confidence in the crypto market beyond Bitcoin.

That’s because if you’re investing through Blackrock you likely have a high net worth.
High net worth people are only going to put 5-10% into Bitcoin. But that’s still millions.
When a dip happens, it’s a blip on their radar. More than likely they aren’t checking their portfolio that often.
It’s only over leveraged people that have 50%+ of their portfolio in something OR “need” something to succeed that check the news every day. These are the people being targeted by FUD and bad news so they sell and allow margin traders to make enormous profits by simply catering to anxious people.
All we need to know is that this Blackrock ETF has been in operation for years and people aren’t selling because they’re very likely happy with the results from a zoomed out perspective. If you bought Bitcoin during the dip 5 years ago you could’ve gotten it for $7k. Now we’re all disappointed 5 years later with a 10x at $70k.
Everyone is still looking for reasons to hate BTC. Still grasping at straws. Anyone who thinks it’s not still early is naive.

Most of these are held by money managers and institutions who don’t typically panic

isn’t it looked at as a hugely speculative investment? likely those people don’t “care” what something they think is a gamble will do anyway

The data makes sense if you think about who buys into a BlackRock ETF vs who buys spot BTC on an exchange. You’re getting pension funds, wealth managers, and family offices with much longer time horizons than retail. Panic selling was always a retail phenomenon and that composition is shifting pretty meaningfully right now.

90% holding through a dump is actually impressive for crypto. etf buyers are different from exchange gamblers. they bought through their brokerage account not on some sketchy cex so they probably have longer time horizons
