Never understood crypto currency - will stick to oil and gold for now.
When crude oil prices rise, often driven by geopolitical shocks like the escalating US–Iran conflict, an "institutional swarm" refers to the rapid, collective influx of large institutional investors (like hedge funds, private equity, and pension funds) rushing to buy up or fund small, independent oil producers.

Institutional investors swarm these micro-cap or mid-tier equities to capture maximum percentage gains relative to a rising commodity price.
