The Liquidity Convexity Ladder: How Capital Actually Flows Into Crypto

The biggest mistake in crypto right now may be treating BTC and “crypto” as the same liquidity trade.
They're increasingly not.

BTC now has:
ETFs
institutions
corporate treasuries
deep derivatives
macro allocators

That means BTC can reprice early.

But altcoins still need:
stablecoin growth
ETH strength
DeFi leverage
retail risk appetite
falling BTC dominance

So the new cycle may look more like:
Liquidity → BTC → ETH → DeFi → alts → memes
Not:
Fed eases → everything pumps.

Our latest DN research calls this the Liquidity-to-Breadth Lag.
And right now?
BTC looks much further along the relay than the rest of crypto.

That is why a Bitcoin rally still does not equal altseason.
