Garrett Jin pointed out on social media that the traditional bull market cycle in the crypto market has ended, but this does not mean the current bull market is over. He emphasized that the market structure has shifted from retail dominance to institutional dominance, and volatility has become more stable. Therefore, viewing this transition as the end of a bull market is a misconception.

On January 21, “”, the agent of “BTC OG Insider Whale” Garrett Jin posted a lengthy article on social media stating that the Wintermute report claims the crypto “traditional bull market cycle” has ended, and some media have misinterpreted this as “the end of this crypto bull market,” which is very unprofessional. Garrett Jin stated that historical data from Chinese A-shares and US stocks clearly confirms this: retail-dominated markets exhibit extremely high volatility and pump-and-dump behavior. As institutional investors enter the market on a large scale, the market has become more structured, more stable, and more trend-driven. For mainstream crypto assets, the stage of “retail-driven, high volatility, meme dominance” has ended. What we are witnessing is a shift in dominance: from speculation to allocation, from retail sentiment to institutional positioning, from extreme volatility to institutional-level volatility. Confusing this transition with “the end of a bull market” is not analysis but a misunderstanding of market maturity.
