Institutions have been scooping up crypto following this week's rout, which wiped some $230 billion from the market and dragged major asset prices to lows not seen in months.

That's according to the latest reading from crypto trading and institutional brokerage outfit FalconX, which noted interest in Bitcoin "remains elevated" and is trading almost three times more than rival Ethereum.

"Institutions are buying the dip," FalconX said in a series of tweets on Tuesday, referring to the purchasing of Bitcoin and Ethereum after prices began to fall heavily on Sunday. "We saw pretty much all investor personas as net buyers today."

Those include proprietary trading desks, representing 57% of total flows on the buy side, hedge funds at 63%, venture funds at 61%, and retail aggregators at 72%, per the tweets.

Crypto investors began selling off their assets en masse on Sunday and Monday amid a broader market sell-off, which saw stock trading briefly halted in Japan and South Korea.

"The overall mood among institutional investors is that, despite the many short-term crosscurrents, the outlook for the asset class remains very positive in the medium and long terms," Lawant said.

The research head pointed to last week's buy/sell ratios among institutional cohorts, which had sunk below 50%, meaning there were more sellers than buyers based on the total buying flow as a percentage of total flows posted in previous weeks.

To put that into context, last week's dip below the 50% threshold stood as one of two outliers for Bitcoin over an almost two-month period. The other period where that occurred was around July 1, per a chart accompanying the tweets.

"The numbers today above are way above that," Lawant said. "Institutions buying the dip has been a clear trend during this correction."
