📉 ETH Faces Shortage on OTC Markets Due to Surging Institutional Demand

📊 According to Wintermute, there is currently a 100% supply deficit of Ethereum on OTC (over-the-counter) markets — simply put, there's no ETH available for large off-exchange deals.

🔍 Why is this happening?

✔️ Institutional investors are aggressively accumulating ETH, treating it as a long-term macro asset akin to Bitcoin.

✔️ At the same time, retail traders are shifting to altcoins and meme tokens, chasing higher (but riskier) returns.

📌 What is OTC? Over-the-counter platforms allow large-scale crypto purchases outside of public exchanges, offering more privacy and less market impact. These platforms are a key indicator of institutional activity.

💬 The growing demand and drying liquidity in OTC channels are clear signs that Ethereum is maturing into a core institutional asset — now standing side by side with Bitcoin.
