Analyst: Bitcoin Enters Institutionally Dominated Era as Retail Trading Share Plummets

BlockBeats News, November 1, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr published an article stating that the share of retail bitcoin transactions (in the $0–1000 range) has dropped from 1.8% in 2021 to the current 0.48%, indicating that large participants are increasingly dominating overall trading volume.


As of October 2025, the daily average activity of retail transactions remains stable at $108 million, but this is significantly lower than the historical peak of $132 million to $150 million. This may suggest a change in market structure and a decline in speculative activity among smaller participants.


The number of daily transactions in the $0–1000 range is about 700,000, close to the historical average, but the average transaction size has decreased compared to previous cycles, further confirming the more conservative behavior of retail participants.


The bitcoin market is showing clear signs of institutionalization: over the past four years, the proportion of retail transactions has dropped sharply, indicating that market control is shifting to large institutions and the influence of small speculators on overall trends is weakening. The current retail activity remains stable at a daily level of $108 million, representing a new benchmark in a mature, institutionalized market—where the speculative frenzy of small retail investors is giving way to more robust accumulation strategies.
