_ What if there is no ETH selling in this cycle?

In previous cycles, we saw a familiar pattern: ETH gains momentum, retail traders flow in, the price peaks... then selling happens. Usually, the cycle repeats, but this time it seems different.

SharpLink recently accumulated over 438,000 ETH, making it the largest institutional holder of ETH. BitMine is also expanding significantly. ETH trading fund inflows are skyrocketing - $2.4 billion in just six trading days - and open interest is at an all-time high. At the same time, ETH dominance reached 12% for the first time in five years.

In the past, people would sell at strength to take profits. But institutions don't trade that way - they don't exit at $4,000 or $5,000 - they buy with horizons that extend for years, and use ETH for vaults, storage, and long-term yield.

So, the question is: if the biggest players in this cycle are accumulating, storing, and locking ETH in trading funds... will selling even happen? And if it doesn't, how do you plan to deal with that?

Some are accumulating, some are achieving negative yields, and some are borrowing against ETH using platforms like Nexo instead of selling completely. If ETH is truly turning into an institutional asset, short-term exit plans may need to be rethought.
