By the end of 2025, traditional financial giants will begin to intensively deploy in the digital asset market. A leading financial group has advised its wealth management clients to allocate up to 4% of their investment portfolios to cryptocurrencies—this seemingly small figure actually signifies a shift in institutional funding attitudes.

Even more noteworthy, multiple institutions have successively submitted applications to regulatory authorities for spot ETFs of Bitcoin and Solana. This not only indicates optimism towards these two leading digital assets but also reflects institutions preparing to further expand their exposure.

Regulatory bodies are also accelerating the implementation of substantive measures. Some banks are exploring stablecoin and tokenized deposit solutions, as these previously somewhat radical innovations are gradually entering a compliant framework. The entire ecosystem is evolving in a more orderly direction under policy guidance.

On-chain data is also booming—Ethereum staking activity has significantly rebounded, reflecting a continuous increase in market participants' enthusiasm. From institutional allocations to regulatory breakthroughs and the resurgence of on-chain activity, digital assets are accelerating their integration into the mainstream financial system from their previous marginal position.

BTC-2.23%

SOL-2.84%

ETH-3.7%

Is 4% really worth hyping? Major institutions should have already gotten on board. The SOL spot ETF is coming, now it's secure. Institutional entry = retail investors taking the hit? Or is it really about to take off? Once the compliance framework is in place, the crypto world will change. I'm not surprised by the rebound in staking; it all depends on how long this wave can last. Honestly, breaking through regulation is more valuable than the gains themselves. A 4% allocation sounds modest... but this is just the beginning. The compliance of stablecoins feels like the bigger picture is expanding. Ethereum staking is heating up, indicating everyone's optimistic about the future. Institutions are rushing in, while retail investors are still hesitating—laughable. From the fringes to the mainstream, this story has been told for three years. Is this time really different?

This time it's really going to take off --- ETF approval is just a matter of time, waiting for a new high --- Staking activities are warming up, indicating that smart money is starting to move again --- 4% allocation sounds small, but this is just the beginning, brother --- Once Solana spot ETF is approved, the next is Bitcoin? --- Banks exploring tokenized deposits... Traditional finance is really coming --- Mainstreaming in progress, you can imagine how great it is to have entered early --- Institutional attitude shift, what it means is something we know very well

4% is still too conservative; next year, it will directly reach double digits.

Here it comes, mainstream finance is finally not pretending anymore? The 4% allocation sounds small but is indeed a signal. Wait, is the Solana ETF really going to be approved? This is serious now. Including stablecoins in the framework, I really didn't see that coming. Banks getting involved makes this a bit interesting. ETH staking enthusiasm is rising again. Great, now I have to jump on the bandwagon.

Wait a minute, is 4% really enough? Feels still too conservative. --- The SOL ETF is here, now institutions are really getting involved. --- The increasing sense of compliance is becoming more apparent, a bit期待 and a bit uneasy. --- The rebound in staking enthusiasm can say everything, capital is speaking. --- Financial giants are finally willing to move, why didn't they do it earlier? --- Stablecoins entering the banking framework? If this really happens, it will be a milestone. --- Institutions are expanding their exposure, retail investors are still hesitating whether to buy or not, laughing. --- From the fringes to the mainstream, this process is faster than expected. --- A bunch of ETF applications, showing everyone has understood. --- 4% sounds small, but every journey starts with a step, don’t think it’s not enough.
