When mainstream asset management institutions begin to launch professional-grade crypto asset exposure tools, it itself sends a signal—certain blockchain infrastructure has gradually gained recognition from traditional finance.

As a leading project in cross-chain oracles, Chainlink's crucial role in DeFi and on-chain transaction settlement is self-evident. The recently launched zero-fee trust product allows investors with traditional brokerage accounts to participate in the allocation of such infrastructure tokens. This lowering of barriers and cost optimization are gradually enabling crypto assets to shift from being exclusive to exchanges to becoming part of mainstream portfolio management.

Whether institutional or individual investors, they are re-evaluating projects that play key roles in the Web3 ecosystem—such as oracles and cross-chain solutions—once niche topics, now becoming new options for asset allocation.

Traditional finance is finally paying attention to infrastructure; it really takes zero fee rates to make them lower their heads and be more accommodating. Chainlink's move is brilliant, directly bringing oracles from the mountains into retail investment portfolios. Speaking of which, truly projects that can survive to be recognized by institutions are few and far between; this in itself is a filtering criterion. I'm a bit worried that hot money pouring in might cause another wave of false prosperity... but in the long run, it's definitely a turning point. Niche topics becoming asset allocation options? That phrase sounds like a signal before the bubble bursts. Zero fee rates sound great, but it depends on whether the transaction costs behind it are just shifted elsewhere. Mainstream finance entering usually means regulation; how much of that wild growth style will remain by then?

Haha, traditional finance is finally starting to humble itself. This is the right path. --- Link's move is indeed fierce, with zero fees directly hitting the pain point of institutions. --- The problem is, will these "new options" become tools for the next round of cutting leeks? --- Lowering the threshold sounds good, but the real money is still in the hands of the big players. --- The concept of oracles has been hyped for so long; finally, someone is taking the infrastructure value seriously. --- Don't tell me about infiltration; the key is when these people will truly understand decentralization. --- Institutional entry leads to price increases; this logic is too old-fashioned, but it seems to work every time. --- Fee optimization—just shows that traditional finance still only cares about costs.

link this move is indeed strategic, the zero fee model directly lowers the barrier to entry Mainstream institutions entering the market are actually signaling that infrastructure is finally being recognized Oracles, which were ignored before, are now in high demand. The Web3 ecosystem is really gradually penetrating traditional finance From exclusive exchange features to portfolio allocation, this transformation is happening so quickly it almost feels unreal By the way, does this mean that in the next wave, more infrastructure tokens will be recognized?

The zero-fee trick is quite clever, aiming to bring retail investors into infrastructure tokens. Chainlink's recent moves indeed lower the barrier to entry, but the real profit still goes to those early investors, right? Mainstream finance is finally taking oracles seriously? That's a bit late, haha. With the lowered threshold, these kinds of projects are probably about to see a new wave of hype. Looks exciting. I don't really trust the zero-fee approach; there's no such thing as a free lunch, everyone. I'm optimistic about infrastructure tokens, but how much of the price high has already been priced in?

Wait, zero fee rate? What is this implying, is it real or fake?

The zero-fee tactic is quite ruthless, directly hitting the pain points of traditional finance.
