#数字资产市场洞察 I dug into the data a bit, and it's quite interesting —



The loss rate for retail accounts (with positions under 100,000) is as high as 98%, while the loss rate for institutional investors (in the tens of millions) is less than 1%. What does this gap indicate?

The stock market is not creating wealth; it is essentially about transferring it. It moves from retail investors' pockets to institutional accounts. This logic seems even more apparent in the cryptocurrency space.

It makes sense to think that way. The market has limited incremental growth, and the total size of the pie is finite. If someone makes a profit, then someone else must incur a loss. The key is who is losing—often it is the small retail investors who rely on intuition, listen to stories, and chase after price fluctuations. Meanwhile, the big players who truly understand risk management and have information advantages? They have already cashed out while harvesting profits.

$BTC The trend of $BNB also confirms this point. Every time there is a big rise or fall, retail investors are repeatedly washed out. In contrast, those with capital and strategies quietly accumulate at the bottom and subtly reduce their positions at the top.

Does anyone have detailed data on the cryptocurrency market? I want to see if the loss rate for retail investors in the crypto space is as frightening as it seems. If it is, then it validates a painful truth: the market never loses money; it is always those who didn't do their homework that lose.
BTC-0.66%
ETH-1.43%
BNB-1.68%

98% loss rate? I just laugh, after all, I've already paid my tuition. This data is really harsh, Large Investors are Accumulation while we are still chasing the price, the difference is that big. I've seen through it for a long time, the crypto world is just big fish eating small fish, how can we win without an information advantage?

A 98% loss rate, to be honest, is a bit intimidating, but it really struck a chord with me. Accumulation at the bottom and reduce position at the top, I've seen this pattern too many times, and I fall for it every time. The market is inherently zero-sum, and retail investors lag behind by a step, sigh.

98% loss rate? How inflated must this data be, it feels like a scare tactic. --- You're right, but there's nothing new about it; institutions have been playing this trap on retail investors for years. --- Information asymmetry is a matter of life and death; no wonder I keep getting whipsawed. --- Something's wrong; where does this data come from? It feels exaggerated. --- Few understand Risk Management; most people have a gambler's mentality. --- So the key is still to learn stop loss and Position management; that's the basic skill to survive. --- I think the situation in the crypto world is harsher than in the stock market, after all, it never stops for 24 hours. --- If you don't do your homework, you deserve it; this statement really hits hard.
