It sounds plausible, I’m a bit stuck on the a holder is a holder no matter where they are self custody or third party, but do you think this will have cause transactions to drop off over time as more adoption happens on the paper side?
You aren't a hodler if your money is with a third party. The term "hodler" is for those who control their own coins, not those who use an ETF or third party. Institutions can't possibly acquire all the Bitcoin. They are simply large investors, and their buying habits don't fundamentally change the circulation. Long before institutions got involved, there were early investors who bought Bitcoin and still hold more of it than any institution has ever purchased.

Theoretically, large scale holdings like ETFs could reduce the number of onchain transactions and lower fees. However, that isn't what's happening. The Bitcoin network continues to process a huge number of transactions daily.
