🚨 INSTITUTIONS HAVE ABANDONED CRYPTO. THE DREAM IS DEAD.
That’s what they tell you every time we get a 20% drawdown.
Zoom out and look at what they are actually doing, not what they are saying on TV.
Fact 1: Major financial institutions are launching tokenized money market funds on public blockchains.
Example: BlackRock’s BUIDL fund has already crossed billions in tokenized assets on Ethereum.
Fact 2: The total value of Real World Assets on-chain is surging, driven by institutional issuers.
Example: Franklin Templeton, Hamilton Lane and others are minting Treasury funds directly on-chain.
Fact 3: Major global banks are completing pilots for cross-border settlements using permissioned Ethereum forks.
Example: JPMorgan’s Onyx and the Monetary Authority of Singapore have already tested real settlement flows.
Fact 4: Massive asset managers are hiring aggressively for their digital asset teams, not shrinking them.
Example: Fidelity, BlackRock and State Street all listed new digital asset engineering and research roles in the past quarter.
Fact 5: The global finance tech stack is being rebuilt on distributed ledger rails.
Example: Euroclear and DTCC are developing blockchain-based clearing and settlement infrastructure.
So what does this actually mean for you?
These institutions are not here to make memes.
They are rebuilding their internal systems on crypto rails because the future runs on-chain.
When the pipes of global finance migrate to this architecture, liquidity follows.
When liquidity follows, assets on those rails get repriced.
Your bag gets heavier because the world is slowly but inevitably moving toward the system your assets already live on.
But sure, the smart money has definitely packed up and gone home, right?
