Based on recent sell-off data, although Ethereum is also under pressure, the outflow of funds is indeed better than Bitcoin. The key difference lies in the scale — Bitcoin's absolute sell-off volume is larger, mainly due to its higher market capitalization. Interestingly, Ethereum's actual sell-off size is only one-tenth of Bitcoin's, so the selling pressure is relatively less intense.
By closely observing institutional movements, it becomes clear that BlackRock and Grayscale are the main drivers of Ethereum sell-offs. Especially with BlackRock's investors operating on both Bitcoin and Ethereum, it clearly reflects the strategic flow of institutional funds between crypto assets — this targeted reduction indicates differing attitudes of institutions towards the current market.

ETH sell-off isn't as fierce as BTC; who is scared by one-tenth of the volume? On the contrary, BlackRock's approach looks quite impressive.

What are BlackRock and Grayscale up to? They're selecting tracks. I'm a bit skeptical about the claim that ETH has less selling pressure.

Looking at BlackRock's recent moves, they're truly voting with their feet. Their attitude towards ETH isn't as enthusiastic as before.

Is Ethereum's sell-off only one-tenth of Bitcoin's? These institutions really know how to pick, with BlackRock and Grayscale openly switching horses.

It seems that institutions are playing a multiple-choice game, picking and choosing between BTC and ETH. BlackRock's approach is indeed very clever.

Keep a close eye on BlackRock and Grayscale's reduction patterns; the fund flows of these two institutions can directly reveal the market's true expectations. A tenth of the selling volume may not seem aggressive, but the key is to look at address concentration—if these funds are all flowing out from a few large addresses, the pressure is actually quite significant. Don't be fooled by absolute numbers; you need to analyze the on-chain data more thoroughly.

ETH selling pressure isn't that high, but what is BlackRock up to... It feels like institutions are bleeding Bitcoin dry.
