Recent market rumors have sent a major signal: U.S. policy circles are hinting that $20 trillion could flood into the market. This number warrants careful consideration—it’s roughly equivalent to China’s entire annual economic output and more than five times the total market capitalization of global cryptocurrencies. In plain terms, the scale of this capital tsunami can be inferred from this comparison.

History often repeats itself. Looking back, when expectations of dollar repatriation first emerged in 2017, Bitcoin experienced a surge of over 1300%. Investors who entered the market that year are probably still reminiscing about that rally. Even more astonishing was 2020, when a trillion-dollar-level economic stimulus was implemented, and BTC skyrocketed from $3,800 to $69,000. That increase left people stunned. These historical cases reveal a pattern: whenever massive liquidity is unleashed, the crypto market is never the last to react; instead, it’s often the first to explode.

But today’s crypto market is no longer the same as in the past. The ETF gates are wide open, institutional custody solutions are mature and implemented, and regulatory frameworks are continuously improving—honestly, the pathways for entry are much smoother than before. What does this mean? Once capital starts flowing in, the friction to enter virtually disappears.

The most fundamental change lies in the valuation logic. Traditional finance focuses on metrics like P/E ratios and cash flow, but in an era dominated by liquidity, the rules of the game have changed—now, it’s about liquidity carrying capacity and consensus strength. Under this new logic, Bitcoin maintains its position as digital gold, while Ethereum, due to its settlement layer attributes, yield-generating capabilities, and vast ecosystem network, functions more like an efficient “capital container,” and could even become the biggest winner in this wave of market movement.

Realistically speaking, even if only a small fraction of the $20 trillion flows into the crypto space, it would be enough to trigger an epic rally. With such immense wealth in front of us, the question isn’t whether the market will surge, but whether the crypto market can seize this opportunity and how investors choose to respond—reach out to catch the wave or watch from the sidelines.
