Bitcoin's 55% drawdown points to milder cycles as institutions take over
- —BTC is down roughly 55% from its October 2025 high
- —The 2021–2022 bear market saw a drop of more than 75%
- —Institutions allocate about 2% to BTC versus 20–30% for retail
- —13F holdings in US spot bitcoin ETFs fell 17% in Q1 2026
Why it matters: If institutional rebalancing is muting crypto cycles, future rallies may be less explosive and drawdowns shallower, reshaping trader expectations.
