A major turning point in crypto mainstream adoption: E-Trade, one of the world's leading online brokerage platforms, is rolling out Bitcoin buying and selling capabilities throughout this year. This move affects over 7 million active users on the platform.

What makes this significant? When traditional financial giants start integrating crypto assets into their standard offerings, it signals genuine institutional confidence in the market. E-Trade's decision isn't just about adding another trading feature—it's about legitimizing Bitcoin as a core financial asset alongside stocks and ETFs.

For the Bitcoin ecosystem, this represents another crucial bridge between traditional finance and crypto adoption. More retail investors from the conventional finance space will gain direct access to Bitcoin trading through a familiar, regulated interface. The ripple effects could be substantial for market liquidity and price discovery.

E-Trade's move, the launch window has definitely opened, with 7 million users flooding into the BTC trading track... Based on RSI momentum combined with institutional confidence indicators, this is truly a sign that the escape velocity is about to break through. Traditional financial giants are starting to refuel, is the main upward wave still far away?

I like eTrade's move, 7 million users... Traditional finance is really starting to bow down. This is what adoption should look like. But will they get annoyed later by some old-fashioned regulators...

eTrade is really pushing BTC to the mainstream with this move, 7 million users... By the way, could this be another prelude to institutions accumulating before a rally?

Huh? E-Trade is only now adding Bitcoin? I thought it had started a long time ago... It's been so slow to react, traditional finance moves at an incredible pace. After all this time, it still depends on us crypto folks to drive the market.
