The decentralized storage sector has new developments. In June 2025, a leading global digital asset management company launched the WAL Trust product, opening the traditional financial channels for qualified investors to access WAL exposure—eliminating the hassle of buying coins and custody.

This may seem simple, but its significance is considerable. What does it indicate? It shows that the Walrus project has caught the attention of institutional-level players, no longer just a topic within a small circle.

Why can Walrus attract the attention of these major institutions? A closer look makes it clear. First, the technical robustness—the Red-Stuff 2D erasure coding scheme reduces storage costs by over 98%, lowering the barrier for large-scale commercial applications. Second, its close integration with the Sui ecosystem creates a "compute + storage" approach, allowing ecosystem applications to grow steadily. Additionally, its early positioning in hot sectors like AI and RWA has secured market space.

These advantages combined have established Walrus's position in the decentralized storage sector. The entry of institutions often marks a project moving from niche attention to broader recognition. WAL officially entering the institutional investment era injects new momentum into its long-term development.

Cut costs by 98%? That's quite impressive. Is it real or just hype... But the fact that institutions are all in definitely says something; it's getting people excited.

Institutional entry is exactly this vibe; things are really starting to feel different. However, competition in the storage sector isn't easy either; it depends on whether Walrus can maintain this momentum.

98% cost reduction? That's outrageous, it feels like bragging. --- Institutions entering the market means prices should go up? I still can't understand. --- Sui ecosystem is back again, now it's all just copycats. --- Is this small matter worth being called the "New Era"? To me, it just looks like a prelude to cutting leeks. --- Solving custody issues is pretty good, saves us from worrying about being hacked. --- Red-Stuff erasure coding—I've never even heard of this name. Can someone explain its real capabilities? --- AI and RWA again, trying to get a piece of every track? Feels like just riding the hype. --- Wait, is this really being looked at by big institutions? Should I try to buy the dip?

Institutional entry is really about the underlying technology; cutting 98% of costs is indeed a tough move. The Sui ecosystem's combination punch is quite impressive.

98% cost reduction, this really shows some potential Institutional entry is the best endorsement, saving us from having to do the research ourselves Storage is truly an underrated track, and now you just realize it?
