Crypto is becoming more like stocks.
The market structure fundamentally changed. Institutions now dominate what used to be retail-driven territory.
> 86% of institutional investors have/plan crypto exposure in 2025
> 59% committing over 5% of their total assets under management
> BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF alone manages $100B in assets & generates $244M in annual revenue
> Institutions now account for 46% of Bitcoin's trading volume.
> The tokenized RWA market hit $33B, up 112% year-to-date
> Robinhood launched 200+ tokenized stocks in Europe
> S&P Global created the first hybrid index combining crypto + onchain stocks
What we will see in the coming years...
1. People will hold major tokens like Bitcoin & Ethereum as it still make sense for direct holdings
2. Established CEX tokens like $BNB will retain utility value
3. Crypto stocks like COIN will offer better R:R than most altcoins (outperformed direct token holdings like ETH & alts already this year)
Crypto won't disappear completely but it will transition into institutional markets with stock like characteristics.
