Remember when BTC first cracked $10K? That was November 30, 2017—closed around $10,234. Fast forward eight years: BlackRock now lists Bitcoin ETFs as their NUMBER ONE revenue driver. Wild how the narrative flipped.
But here's the thing—this mainstream adoption brings a new problem. More institutional money means more surveillance risks. That's where privacy tech like Zama's FHEVM gets interesting. The concept? Encrypt your sensitive stuff, run computations off-chain without exposing raw data. As Bitcoin grows up, privacy isn't optional anymore—it's infrastructure.

BlackRock sees BTC ETF as a primary source of income? Haha, with institutions coming in, privacy becomes even more valuable, I've said this long ago.

BlackRock relies on Bitcoin ETF for its profits, this reversal is quite intense... privacy technology is the real next level.

When organizations come in, they have to focus on privacy, otherwise, they are living under a magnifying glass.

BlackRock is thriving, but privacy is the real breakthrough point, right?

Mainstreaming means turning Bitcoin into a cash machine for the wealthy, and the privacy layer simply cannot block the attention of those institutions.
