Strategy Watch: February
The full report is available in PDF format.
Access PDF version Welcome to Strategy Watch
In a rapidly evolving market, where traders and funds chase returns amid volatility, while asset allocators seek data-driven conviction for long-term positioning, Glassnode occupies a unique vantage point. Our on-chain and wider market intelligence has served as a cornerstone for both groups since 2018, earning their trust through consistent, impartial data, analytics and research.
A core Glassnode belief is that genuine insight in digital assets comes from neutrality and depth, unbiased data that empowers decisions across the ecosystem. That is why we are thrilled to launch Strategy Watch, a new monthly newsletter dedicated to the analysis of fund-level performance and allocation trends in digital assets.
We hope to bring value by regularly delivering clear, high-signal analysis of capital flows, head-to-head strategy performance benchmarks, and the most important allocation moves actually being made by institutions and funds. But this is just the beginning. We are actively exploring ways to bridge these worlds further, and would love your feedback as Strategy Watch evolves.

Institutional Flow Monitor
Since late October 2025, capital flows to BTC, ETH and Stablecoins have turned negative sharply.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Stablecoins have seen a clear slowdown in capital inflows, signalling weakening demand and a structural contraction in liquidity. All three assets have now shifted into net outflow, with Bitcoin at –$8.4B per month, Ethereum at –$3.8B, and stablecoins at –$6.4B. This broad-based drawdown across core crypto assets reflects a defensive regime, where institutional capital is de-risking rather than re-entering risk positions. This negative trend has further accelerated as of January 2026.
ETF & DAT Net Flows ETF & DAT net flows remain positive, but weakened, signalling slowing institutional demand.
Net flows into these vehicles act as a proxy for institutional demand. In Q4 2025 and early January, institutions were net sellers through the ETF channel, with Bitcoin ETF outflows approximating –35.8k BTC per month and Ethereum ETF flows around –257.6k ETH per month. Over the same period, DATs saw strong inflows in August 2025 driven by new product launches, but buy pressure has since softened; nonetheless, flows into DATs remain positive, indicating ongoing, albeit weaker, institutional interest via balance-sheet exposure.
DeFi TVL & Stablecoin Cap TVL on Ethereum has been declining since August 2025, signalling softer conviction in DeFi yield curves.
DeFi has served as another active playground for institutional capital through strategies such as liquidity provisioning, collateralized lending, and structured yield harvesting. Total Value Locked (TVL) on Ethereum, began to shrink from August 2025 onward, and is now declining at approximately –$15.3M per month. A contraction in TVL implies that larger allocators are withdrawing from on-chain financial services, reducing liquidity depth and signalling softer conviction in DeFi yield and risk-adjusted returns relative to alternative venues.
CME Basis Yield Contraction signals are waning incentive for market-neutral strategies.
Another key dimension of institutional engagement is the CME Basis Yield, which estimates the monthly dollar value earned by institutions from cash-and-carry strategies, capturing the premium between spot prices and CME calendar futures. Since August 2025, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen a sharp compression in this yield, with Bitcoin declining from approximately $136.6M to $38.6M per month, and Ethereum from $47.5M to $14.8M per month. This contraction rreflects reduced leverage deployment, softer futures demand, and a broader pullback in balance-sheet commitment amid tightening liquidity conditions.

Zusammenfassung
Verfolgung von Volatilitätsregimes: Gamma-Expositions-Heatmap
Da die Märkte für Krypto-Optionen weiterhin wachsen, werden die Hedging-Ströme der Händler zu einem relevanteren Treiber des kurzfristigen Preisverhaltens. Zu wissen, wo diese Ströme Bewegungen absorbieren oder verstärken können, kann den Kontext der Volatilität erheblich verbessern.
Aufbauend auf unserer grundlegenden Arbeit im Bereich Gamma-Exposition, ist Glassnode stolz darauf, eine ausgeklügelte neue Kennzahl einzuführen: die Gamma-Exposition (GEX) Strike Heatmap.
Im Gegensatz zu einer einzelnen Schnappschussansicht verfolgt dieses Feature die Verteilung der Gamma-Exposition über Strike-Niveaus im Laufe der Zeit und zeigt, wie sich die Positionierung der Händler ändert, während sich der Markt bewegt.
