Recently, a heartbreaking view has been circulating in the crypto world: the end point of the crypto industry is the US stock market.

It does seem to make sense. Over the past year, US stocks and precious metals hit new highs amid the AI wave, while the crypto market fell into a liquidity crunch. Investors withdrew en masse, rushing toward traditional finance.

But things might be reversing.

It's not that the crypto industry is copying the US stock market, but rather Wall Street is entering in reverse. From the world's largest asset management firms to mainstream compliant trading platforms, the new consensus for 2025 is: asset tokenization is the future of financial infrastructure.

This is not just about moving stocks onto the blockchain. The real change lies in: doubling clearing efficiency, making 24/7 global trading a reality, and completely breaking down the boundaries of capital flow. When traditional financial assets circulate on-chain, crypto is no longer a neglected corner of the market but the foundation supporting new finance.

Ripple is building an XRP reserve fund, multiple countries are discussing BTC strategic reserves, and every policy adjustment by the Federal Reserve influences global asset allocation. All these point in the same direction.

So the question is: when Wall Street completes its on-chain transition, will you still view crypto with old eyes, or are you ready to embrace this upheaval?

I've been saying it all along, the bottom-fishing moment has arrived again! This time it's really different, Wall Street is here, so what are you still running for?

I love the logic of Wall Street going against the market; finally someone has explained this thoroughly.

The moment this logic was reversed, I knew the game rules were about to change. Wall Street's entry is not to save the crypto world, but to harvest. Asset tokenization sounds very sexy, but the ones who truly make money are always those who control the infrastructure. Wait, wait, wait, do you really believe BTC will become a strategic reserve? I just want to ask, what chances do retail investors have then? Honestly, I'm tired of the 7×24 hour trading dream.

Wall Street goes on the chain? Nice words, but it's just a new trick to scam retail investors.

Wall Street going on-chain, I'm still skeptical; it all depends on how regulators handle it. --- Asset tokenization and 24-hour trading sound great, but can they really be implemented? --- XRP reserve funds, BTC strategic reserves... this kind of talk was being hyped up last year, and it's still the same old story this year. --- Doubling clearing efficiency? First, lower the clearing fees before talking about that. --- I don't deny the direction is correct, but I just don't know when it will happen. Anyway, I won't be able to wait. --- So basically, it's still about betting on policies; the crypto world is always gambling on regulatory sentiment. --- Asset tokenization sounds impressive, but who is actually using it? Besides hype and concepts, what else is there? --- I just want to ask, if Wall Street really goes on-chain, what benefits can retail investors get?
