Definition ∞ Structural selling refers to sustained, fundamental selling pressure on an asset or market driven by underlying systemic factors rather than temporary sentiment. This type of selling is often a consequence of macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, or a fundamental re-evaluation of an asset’s utility or value proposition. It can lead to prolonged price declines.
Context ∞ In the digital asset space, structural selling might result from increased regulatory scrutiny, a significant protocol exploit, or a shift in broader financial market conditions. Unlike speculative selling, it reflects a more lasting change in market dynamics. News analysis often investigates these deeper causes to explain extended bearish trends in cryptocurrency markets.
