Institutions drove 72% of spot volume on Wintermute's OTC desk in H1 2026, up from 59%. Analysts call it a structural shift in crypto.
➤ Institutional investors are increasingly dominating crypto trading volume, accounting for 72% of spot volume on Wintermute's OTC desk in H1 2026, indicating a structural shift towards an institutionally driven market.
➤ Professional traders are utilizing derivatives, structured products, and ETFs more frequently, and are more selective about the assets they trade, leading to a calmer, less speculative market environment.
➤ While retail participation has quieted, the increased institutional involvement provides more liquidity and stability, though it also means the market's mood is now more closely tied to traditional financial markets.
