Morning Minute: The Institutions Aren’t Coming—They’re Here
Summary
Traditional finance (TradFi) institutions are rapidly adopting crypto, as evidenced by four major announcements in a single day involving three major banks and a U.S. state. This marks a shift from previous speculation about blockchain to real-time, mainstream integration of crypto into traditional financial systems. The pace of adoption is accelerating, with major players no longer waiting for regulatory clarity or market cycles. Key areas of development include corporate treasuries, ETFs, meme coins, on-chain activities, and NFTs. Crypto adoption by TradFi is now unfolding live, highlighting a new phase of integration and significance within global finance.
