  • Crypto investors are broadening their exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum as the market slump persists, according to Robinhood’s crypto chief Johann Kerbrat. In a Cointelegraph interview, Kerbrat noted that users view the dip as a buying opportunity and are trading a wider range of assets, including staking and DeFi products. This trend aligns with comments from Coinbase Asset Management and MidChains, which observe institutional traders entering the top‑20 crypto space with large block trades. Despite the “Extreme Fear” sentiment and $3.8 billion net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, the shift suggests growing comfort with crypto’s volatility.
