Top exchange founders recently stated on social media: "I might be wrong in my judgment, but the super cycle is coming." This statement immediately sparked market discussion.

What is the underlying logic? Recently, US regulators removed certain crypto assets from the priority risk list for 2026, while a large amount of institutional funds are quietly entering the market. The combination of these two forces has led some to believe that the market may be entering a completely new phase — no longer following the traditional four-year cycle.

From a regulatory perspective, the adjustment of the risk list indeed sends a positive signal. Coupled with the continued deployment by institutional players, this combination suggests that the market structure is quietly changing. Is this market noise or a genuine precursor? We may have to wait for time to tell. But at least, market attention and participation are both on the rise, and that’s for sure.

The essence of the removal from the regulatory risk list is still political cycle appeasement; don't be fooled by superficial positive signals. Institutional entry ≠ cycle change; it's just a new pattern in the capital game.

Relaxed regulations + institutional entry, this combination is indeed interesting... But as for the super cycle, just listen and don't take it seriously🤝

Super cycle? Ha, I've heard that term too many times. Every time they say it's coming, but what happened... However, this time is indeed a bit different. Regulators are easing up, institutions are bottom-fishing. These two factors combined might really create some movement. --- I just want to know, are those who say "the judgment might be wrong" truly being humble or just reverse tactics? --- Removal from the risk list, institutional entry... sounds great, but I'll wait and see if real money is actually pouring in before making any judgments. --- Breaking the four-year cycle? Don't be silly. No matter what cycle it is, it ultimately can't escape the rule of retail investors getting chopped. --- It's really just about saying "it's time to enter," wrapped in so many fancy words. --- Friendly regulation + institutional funds, this combination is indeed worth paying attention to, but the biggest risk is this kind of "consensus" itself. --- Instead of believing in a super cycle, I trust my own holdings more... The pressure is a bit heavy right now.

Relaxed regulations + institutional entry, this combination does have some potential, but I still think it depends on how things develop next. By the way, isn't the prefix "maybe a misjudgment" a bit vague? Do they really have confidence? The super cycle has been hyped up so many times, is this really just another round of harvesting?

Regulatory easing, large capital inflows... sounds good, but I've heard this kind of rhetoric too many times. Who can guarantee that this time isn't just a prelude to cutting leeks? --- Super cycle coming? Alright, let's just wait and see. Anyway, I've already gone all in. --- Is it true that institutional funds are quietly entering the market? Or are they trying to fool retail investors into following the trend again? --- Can we judge a super cycle just by removing from the risk list? The logic is a bit far-fetched, but I do see funds moving. --- Hmm... to be honest, I'm still waiting to see, but the atmosphere this time is indeed a bit different. --- Super cycle, super cycle, this phrase has been overused. If it really happens, everyone can make money; if not, everyone will lose money. --- I just want to ask, where's the evidence of institutional entry? What do on-chain data say? --- It looks like the founders of top exchanges are hinting at something, but the phrase "might be a misjudgment"... I always feel like it's leaving an escape route for a backup plan. --- Friendly regulatory signals + institutional layout, this combination does make people a bit hopeful. Anyway, the risk is already out there, now it just depends on fate.
