【Crypto World】A senior executive of a major investment advisory firm recently announced the end of a ten-year career. This leader has been a strong advocate for the expansion of alternative investment ecosystems—from private equity to credit, and then to real estate, with a series of model portfolios launched successively. More importantly, during his tenure, he led the development of a policy framework for Bitcoin ETFs, which will be officially implemented starting in 2024.

This case reflects how traditional financial institutions are accelerating their embrace of crypto assets. The transition of Bitcoin ETFs from the sidelines to a mainstream advisory investment tool signifies the growing demand from institutional investors for digital asset allocation, as well as the gradual maturation of industry policy environments. When advisory teams have clear operational guidelines, clients’ Bitcoin exposure begins to shift from gray areas to transparent management.

Ten years, from holding onto stocks and bonds to embracing BTC tightly, this brother's career can be considered a textbook for entering the crypto world. He entered the market with a smile and never looked back. Traditional finance is finally dropping the act, removing the mask and directly announcing support. Once this policy framework was released, institutions lined up to get on board, and the data speaks for itself. From alternative investments to Bitcoin ETFs, in simple terms, Wall Street has whitewashed the act of "speculating on coins." Now it's called asset allocation, which is quite absurd. Institutional entry has truly arrived. Now, retail investors will have to learn to dance with big funds or simply lie flat and watch the show.

A ten-year career ends just like that; it seems the traditional finance system can't hold up anymore. As soon as the Bitcoin ETF appeared, everyone turned around? This is getting interesting.

It took ten years to figure it out, and now traditional finance is only just catching up? It should have been like this all along.

A decade of sharpening the sword, and it is drawn in a single stroke. This is the true awakening of institutions, not just empty words.
