Liquidity Flood: Effects Of Traditional Capital Entering The Crypto Market
summary
Institutional money trickles in not floods: demand comes mainly from family offices today, not pension funds; funds launched last year number roughly 200 and headline market cap peaks fall from $800B to ~$400B. Reported specifics include 26% crypto-to-crypto flow in one desk’s December book, a cautious platform sizing at $150M max, and an estimated 46% ICO failure rate. Major barriers remain custody, third‑party administrators, KYC for decentralized venues, and reliable reporting.
