Wall Street's old guard is shifting gears. Starting tomorrow, clients of an $11 trillion asset management giant will gain access to Bitcoin and crypto ETFs—a dramatic U-turn from its previous skeptical position on digital assets.

This marks a watershed moment. When legacy financial institutions with over a decade of operations begin embracing crypto products, it signals more than policy adjustment—it reflects changing investor demand and evolving regulatory clarity. The floodgates for mainstream capital allocation into BTC may be opening wider than anticipated.

The timing raises questions too. What triggered this reversal? Regulatory green lights? Client pressure? Or simply the realization that sitting on the sidelines costs more than participating? Either way, the crypto rails just got a lot more institutional traffic.

Well... the recent change in posture on Wall Street, rather than being a shift in belief, is more like being forced to follow the trend. Old money suddenly opens the floodgates for Bitcoin, to put it bluntly, they are still afraid of missing out on the big game, perhaps they are really panicking. A group of people who once shouted "tulip eyewash" are now eagerly waiting to be played for suckers, the irony is absolutely striking. Will the entrance of institutions really change the rules of the game, or is it just a signal for a new round of market maker harvesting? Wait, is this really good news or the last straw before cashing out... The end of the retail investor's era is probably coming.

Wow, has Wall Street finally bowed down? This speed is faster than I expected, the 11 trillion giant has moved, can TradFi really not hold on anymore? Institutions are rushing in, and retail investors still have to line up... this is the reality. Wait, is this really due to regulatory easing or just pure FOMO? It feels like it’s not that simple. It's a bit late to the party, but better late than never, right? With mainstream allocations coming in, our chips are going to shrink again.

Damn, I've finally waited for this day. These old folks in TradFi have been dragging their feet for so long before turning back. To be honest, their entry now is just out of fear of missing out (FOMO). Large institutions entering is the signal, there's no turning back. Now those retail investors who are still hesitating need to hurry up...

Haha, it's finally here. The stubbornness of TradFi can't hold up anymore, 11 trillion is the rhythm of breaking defenses. What can I say, it's actually that there’s no money to be made anymore. I’ve said it before, these people will bow down sooner or later. Institutions are entering the market, but let's not forget how they played retail investors in the last round... This reversal looks beautiful, but the underlying logic is still about interests, nothing surprising. Finally, someone is willing to take a stand, though the move is a bit slow, let's just take it as a delayed acknowledgment.

Wow, have these people on Wall Street finally bowed down? 11 trillion, this time getting on board is no small matter. Got it, just afraid of missing out on FOMO... money talks, everything else is nonsense. Now it's going to be lively on-chain, if institutions really come in, the major exchanges will be overwhelmed. Why the sudden shift? It's just that users are shouting too loud or regulations have eased, anyway, the wind has changed. Oh my, wait, could this be another prelude to playing people for suckers... People call this "late awakening," where have they been? To be honest, mainstream getting on board = bubble coming or opportunity coming? I've been thinking about this question for three years. The cost of sitting on the sidelines... well said, otherwise we also need to get moving. If institutions really come in, the good days for retail investors might be coming to an end.
