2026-05-25：Institutional Capital Rotates Out of Legacy DeFi as Warsh-Led Fed Reprices Crypto Risk

Crypto looks weak, but the real story is stranger than a simple selloff. Bitcoin ETFs just bled about $1.26 billion, Ethereum is fighting outflows, governance drama, and an $819 million DeFi TVL drain, yet BTC, ETH, and SOL are still flashing constructive technical setups. So who is quietly buying while the crowd watches the exits? Hyperliquid is absorbing capital from legacy DeFi, Solana is drawing institutional inflows, and NEAR is defying a market where 340 of 390 assets are falling. Meanwhile, a Warsh-led Fed, 5.20% long bond yields, and an $80 million token unlock wave are reshaping the risk map. Is this the start of a deeper crypto repricing, or the first act of a brutal capital rotation? https://deepmarket.report/en/report/crypto/2026-05-25
