According to The Kobeissi Letter, retail investors purchased $23 billion in US equities in May, following $40 billion in combined net purchases in March and April, as reported by JPMorgan on June 7, 2025. This activity aligns with the $25 billion average monthly net buy rate seen year-to-date, totaling a record $150 billion in retail inflows for 2025. The sustained influx of retail capital into equities signals strong risk appetite, which historically correlates with increased trading activity in cryptocurrencies, especially as investors seek alternative high-return assets during bullish stock market trends (source: The Kobeissi Letter, JPMorgan). Crypto traders should monitor these flows as they often precede volatility and liquidity surges in digital asset markets.
