Bitwise: Institutions Treat Ethereum, Solana as Venture Bets, Will Sell If Adoption Stalls

  • Bitwise says institutions hold ETH and SOL as venture bets
  • Positions would be sold if network adoption stalls
  • Approach differs from bitcoin, which is treated as a reserve asset
Why it matters: The stance highlights fragile institutional demand for altcoins, raising the risk of sharp ETH and SOL selloffs if adoption slows.
