The next phase isn't about retail enthusiasm anymore—it's institutional infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and mainstream integration that'll reshape the entire landscape.

The moment institutions enter is the real beginning; the retail traders' way of playing has long been outdated.

ngl this institutional narrative is where the real extraction begins... they'll build the infrastructure while retail gets sandwiched in the dark forest. fifteen trillion sounds nice till you realize whose hands tighten around the faucet.

Institutional entry is the real main event; retail investors are now just helping institutions lift the carriage.

Institutional entry is the key; retail enthusiasm is already outdated.
