Bitwise's perspective indeed reflects a clear trend—institutional capital is accelerating into the crypto market. However, interestingly, while everyone's attention is focused on Bitcoin and spot ETFs, the real innovation is quietly happening at a deeper protocol layer. I spent some time studying the technical documentation of related projects and found that many teams are making innovative designs on DeFi infrastructure. These quietly dedicated projects may not have the spotlight like Bitcoin, but in the long run, breakthroughs in such underlying protocols are often the true engines driving the development of the entire ecosystem.

The underlying protocols have indeed been seriously underestimated. Everyone is hyping up the Bitcoin story, but little do they know that the real revolution is quietly happening on the DeFi infrastructure side.

Underlying protocols are the real gold mines, but who the hell actually reads technical documentation...

I quite agree. The recent hype around the BTC spot ETF has indeed overshadowed some good things. Protocol layer innovations often require time to mature, but once breakthroughs happen, they lead to exponential growth—this is where the true alpha lies.

Oh my, another argument that only looks at BTC to cut leeks... The real work is at the protocol layer, and only a few people understand that.

The underlying protocol is the real deal, while the BT vampires are just watching the price. Wake up, everyone.

Hey, I agree with that. Everyone is hyping up the popularity of BTC spot ETFs, but the ones that can truly change the game are actually hidden in those unassuming protocols. To put it simply, infrastructure is the real key.

Everyone is talking about BTC spot ETFs, but who has truly studied DeFi protocol layers... Indeed, these silent projects are the future.
