In the documents submitted to the SEC in 2025, the frequency of blockchain-related terms increased sharply. By August, this number soared to about 8,000 times, and then remained high through September, October, and November. The main driver behind this surge was Bitcoin, which accounted for the majority of the new mentions. Behind this growth is a clear catalyst—after the approval and launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, institutions and companies have been submitting new filings or amendments, directly increasing the number of crypto asset-related contents in the SEC's document database. Compared to the regulatory document frequency during the early ICO boom, this increase is particularly significant, reflecting that traditional financial systems' attention to digital assets like Bitcoin has risen to a new level.

This time it's really different. The institutional trend this wave, SEC filings have skyrocketed to 8,000 times. What does that mean? Traditional finance is finally taking it seriously.
---
Once Bitcoin ETF was launched, major companies hurried to revise their application documents. This scene is indeed quite absurd, it feels like Wall Street is all rushing to catch the crypto train.
---
8,000 times in August alone. You wouldn't have imagined this data back during the ICO days. It seems we've truly entered a new era.
---
Bitcoin has taken the lead, and other cryptocurrencies don't even qualify as supporting roles. This is the treatment of a leader.
---
Institutions' entry is entirely paved by spot ETFs. Without this, it would have been over long ago. We have to thank the Americans for this move.
---
From ICO to now, SEC's attitude has changed so drastically. To put it simply, money talks, and a利益链 has formed.

Spot BTC ETF really stirred up the entire traditional finance world, big institutions are taking this seriously
When have institutions ever been this proactive? Directly 8000 times, unbelievable...
Bitcoin's fire has reached the SEC filings, it's hard to hold back
The regulatory pressure during the early ICO days wasn't this intense, things are truly different now

Wow, 8000 times? The institutions are really rushing in, there's no turning back now.
The spot ETF was approved directly, are the old folks in traditional finance finally admitting defeat?
This time it's much more regulated than the ICO wave, it feels like they're serious.
The SEC documents are all named BTC, what does that mean? Mainstream adoption is a done deal.
Institutional entry is not just talk, the data is right here.
From ICO to now, have we won? Or have they won?
8000 times, brother, this hype is truly incredible. How much longer can it keep rising?
Traditional finance has finally bowed, it was about time.

Spot Bitcoin ETF really changes the game. Looking at SEC filing data makes it clear—this is not hype, institutional investors are truly entering the market.
---
8000 times... what does this number indicate? It shows that Wall Street is finally taking it seriously.
---
Once the Bitcoin ETF launches, the entire financial system is panicking. Now even documents are being heavily referenced—this is a top-tier signal.
---
Can you compare it to the ICO days? Now it's institutional-level recognition, a completely different dimension.
---
Maintaining high levels for three months is probably a prelude to further explosive growth.
---
The more traditional finance pays attention, the more it indicates that everything is changing. Do you feel it?
---
The surge in SEC filings shows that big players are starting to position themselves. Can retail investors keep up?
---
Since August, maintaining high levels, this is the biggest bullish signal.
---
After ETF approval, the entire narrative has shifted. It’s no longer a geek’s game but a mainstream financial event.

Prices haven't fallen in September and November either, showing that things are truly different now.
