 <p>Institutional traders have increased their Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) holdings this year but remain largely skeptical about alternative cryptocurrencies, according to Bybit research.</p>
 <p>The research shows that institutional traders have 45% of their crypto assets in stablecoins, 50% in Bitcoin and Ether, and 5% in altcoins.</p>
 <p>“Flight to safer assets in a bear market might explain this risk-averse asset allocation from traders,” the research says.</p>
 <p>Traders nearly doubled their BTC holdings during the first three quarters of 2023. In September, 50% of the crypto portfolio held by institutional traders was in Bitcoin.</p>
 <p>This trading behavior stems from positive market sentiment toward BTC amid the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).</p>

 <p>Institutional traders also started accumulating Ether in September, the report says, amid upbeat sentiment caused by ETF news.</p>
 <p>On the other hand, the percentage of assets allocated by institutions to altcoins has recorded a significant drop.</p>
 <h2 id="retail-traders-reduce-bitcoin-holdings-on-higher-leverage-levels">Retail Traders Reduce Bitcoin Holdings on Higher Leverage Levels</h2>
 <p>In contrast, retail traders have reduced their BTC holdings, with researchers attributing it to “higher leverage levels.”</p>
 <p>Retail traders have the highest stablecoin holdings. But institutions are reducing their stablecoin holdings and investing in BTC and ETH, signaling growing optimism towards the crypto market.</p>
