$BTC $XRP $ETH

A recent high-level former financial regulator has made a significant statement: Ethereum has become a "key component" of the crypto world. This is not just the opinion of a certain blogger, but a direct acknowledgment from a core figure in the traditional financial system, and you should consider what this implies.

Why is this endorsement so weighty?

First, the signals from regulators are already quite clear. Such high-level statements often indicate that a clearer compliance framework is in the works, which is quite friendly to the long-term development of the entire ecosystem.

Second, look at the ecosystem scale. Ethereum currently supports over 50% of the total DeFi locked value, and most innovative applications are running on this blockchain. Calling it a hub is not an exaggeration.

Additionally, regarding institutional funds—the entry of traditional big capital into the crypto market almost always involves Ethereum as the bridge. It has almost become the standard entry option for institutions.

From a technical perspective, ETH after the merge has embarked on a deflationary path, and the fundamentals are continuously strengthening. Official certification combined with solid ecosystem data might be the point at which Ethereum's value is thoroughly re-priced.

What do you think about the upcoming market trend? Should you increase your holdings during this wave of recognition, or continue to observe?

Regulatory approval? Well... it sounds great, but I've heard this kind of rhetoric more than once. Will this time be just on paper again? The real proof will be in the lock-up volume and whether institutions are actually pouring in real money. The 50% DeFi share is indeed undeniable. Adding positions or waiting on the sidelines, I think it depends on whether ETH can break above a key level this month. Even with good signals, technical confirmation is necessary. Honestly, XRP's recent surge is quite outrageous, while BTC is just stagnating, and ETH is caught in the middle, which is a bit awkward. If this recognition can be converted into a genuine compliant framework, then it would be considered a success. Otherwise, it's just a topic to discuss.

Laughing and then crying, a former senior executive just said "key component," now the retail investors have another reason to go all-in. --- 50% of DeFi lock-up volume, in simple terms, means putting all eggs in one basket and then being told this basket is "safe." --- Regulatory endorsement has been heard too many times this year. Every time, it's said to be positive, but the market turns around and crashes. It’s just a matter of who cuts first and who cuts later. --- Institutional standard entry options, right? Well, I also have institutional funds. If we all enter together and get cut, then it doesn’t count as getting cut. --- Deflationary route plus official certification—sounds like the perfect copy for the next round of harvesting, doesn’t it? --- No, why do I always hear big news first and then see the market plunge? I am the type of person who suffers losses from buying the news.

The regulatory brothers have spoken, and now the ETH narrative is completely solidified. Institutions have already been accumulating, so we need to keep up.

The regulatory leaders said this, it seems there are indeed actions coming, and this wave of ETH might really be different.

The endorsement from the regulatory high-ups is really top-notch, but I think everyone shouldn't get too excited; it still has to fall if it’s going to fall. However, the fact that institutions are entering the market definitely can't be ignored, and the fundamentals in this area are solid. I'll continue to watch and wait, and consider adding to my position when the price drops a bit more.
