That may happen. But last week showed that right now, institutions are choosing selectively.
Grayscale dropped plans for ETFs tied to Cardano, Polkadot and Hedera. None of the proposed products became effective, and no securities were sold.

Why This Matters
The reported unauthorized attack on Coldcard offline wallets highlights that self-custody security failures can affect Bitcoin holder behavior even without a broad market sell-off. The movement toward newly generated wallets, regulated custodians or ETFs could signal that wallet-security incidents influence demand for institutional custody products.

Tokenization also got a reality check. Securitize shares fell 20% after its first earnings report as a public company missed expectations. Tokenized assets hit a record, and trading activity jumped. Revenue, however, fell short.
That is a useful snapshot of institutional crypto in 2026: Enthusiasm can be genuine without every product, token or business model being a winner. Wall Street isn’t simply “adopting crypto.” It is paying for stablecoin infrastructure, expanding certain ETF strategies and demanding that the businesses behind blockchain’s biggest narratives eventually produce revenue.
4. Tech and security: Coldcard shook self-custody. Bitcoin’s rebellion lasted two blocks.
The most consequential bitcoin flows of the week, however, may not have been selling at all.
About 210,000 bitcoin moved out of long-term holder wallets, according to Glassnode data, the most since December 2024. Normally, that kind of action might look bearish. This time, the transfers were the result of an unauthorized attack on Coldcard's offline wallets.
Some affected users moved bitcoin into newly generated wallets, while others may have shifted toward regulated custodians or exchange-traded funds; U.S. spot ETFs attracted roughly $754 million during the period.
