On Christmas Eve, the financial world was rocked by a major news story. Trump explicitly stated that $20 trillion will flow into the US market in the coming week. What does this number mean? It is equivalent to China's entire annual GDP and exceeds the total global cryptocurrency market capitalization by more than five times. If true, this would definitely be a historic capital migration.

History has shown us that whenever a large influx of hot money occurs, highly liquid and volatile assets are always the first to benefit. During the 2017 dollar repatriation wave, Bitcoin surged over 1300% in one year. In 2020, the Federal Reserve's trillions of dollars in stimulus caused Bitcoin to rise from $3,800 to $69,000—an unforgettable market rally.

The current situation is completely different. The infrastructure of the crypto market has vastly improved—ETF channels are open, institutional-grade custody solutions are mature, and compliance frameworks are gradually being refined. In simple terms, the "channels" for large capital to enter are already in place. Coincidentally, this wave of capital coincides with a new round of easing in the US dollar. When massive funds chase core assets, valuation logic shifts from traditional P/E ratios to liquidity-carrying efficiency and consensus strength.

Under this logic, who will benefit the most? Bitcoin and Ethereum are clearly the most competitive targets. Among them, Ethereum, due to its underlying settlement properties, yield-generating functions, and complete ecosystem, may become the most efficient and most consensus-strong "capital container."

The $20 trillion in hot money is already poised to move. The choice before us is simple: continue to sit on the sidelines and watch, or get ahead of the curve with strategic positioning? Focusing on the Ethereum ecosystem might just be the key to seizing this opportunity.

200 trillion? Sounds crazy, but can it really happen... I still trust Bitcoin a bit more --- It's the Ethereum ecosystem again, and it's a capital container. I've heard this kind of rhetoric since 2021 --- Dollar easing combined with hot money inflows, this is indeed a story. The question is, can we really see this 20 trillion within a week? --- The ETF channel has been opened, no doubt, but will institutions really rush in during Christmas week? Feels more like a story being told --- That's correct, but who dares to guarantee that this time will be like 2017 or 2020? The risks are there --- The Ethereum ecosystem is indeed relatively complete, but for it to serve as a "capital container," it has to survive the next bear market first --- I think if this wave really comes, it might be the last chance for retail investors to get on board --- It's okay to plan, but don't go all in. This kind of talk sounds a bit overhyped

Here we go again with this set? 20 trillion yuan flooding in within a week, feels more unbelievable than a story. But on the other hand, the logic behind Ethereum's yield mechanism is indeed worth pondering. Waiting to be proven wrong, but with the casino rules set here, not playing would really be a loss. Trump's words, everything he says has to be taken with a 30% discount. However, the ETF channel is real, and that's the true change in the game rules. 20 trillion yuan? I only believe half of it, the other half is waiting to be taught a lesson by reality. But this is definitely a signal; it's time to wake up. Will history repeat itself or is this time really different? No one knows. But it's better to scout ahead than to be caught off guard. Another one of these either/or choices, making it feel like a test question. The real situation is never that simple. This logic sounds nice, but I don't know how retail investors will get eaten up if they jump in. Be cautious, don’t be dazzled by the halo of the bagholder.

Wait, is 20 trillion really true... If this opportunity really opens up, I would go all in. --- Here we go again, always talking about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I already sold my coins early. --- The opening of the ETF channel really changed the game, no longer growing as wildly as in 2017. --- Is the Ethereum ecosystem this strong? Is Bitcoin really about to be overtaken? --- Waiting to see the show next week. Anyway, I don’t trust promises from someone like Trump. --- Even if 20 trillion flows in, it doesn’t necessarily all go to crypto. Don’t get your hopes up too high, brother. --- Feels like another round of harvesting retail investors... They keep hyping it up every time. I’m just waiting to buy the dip.

Alright, alright, here comes the 20 trillion again. Last year it was the same story, right? If they really pour in money, it’s not like I have much of a position anyway. Let’s wait and see. So what if the ETF channel is opened? Retail investors still have to take the hit. Tired of the "this time is different" argument. Every time they say it’s different, but in the end, it’s just cutting the leeks. What is this "capital container" of Ethereum? Sounds like they’re about to tell me a story again. Anyway, I’m not planning to sell. I’ll die here if I have to. Let’s wait until Trump’s 20 trillion actually arrives. For now, it’s all just on paper.
