Hello!
Did you know that despite ongoing macro uncertainty, BTC's dominance has risen for five consecutive weeks (week-over-week)? Is this an ominous sign for altcoin loyalists? Has the altcoin season vanished without a trace?
The Wall Street Rush
The trend began with Circle. When this stablecoin giant went public this month, its stock price soared 168% on the first day. The offering was oversubscribed by 25x: public demand reached 850 million shares, but only 340 million were offered.
Circle’s current market cap exceeds $33 billion—triple the reported $9–11 billion acquisition bids it received before Ripple’s IPO.
Circle’s success didn’t just reward early investors. It also inspired a wave of crypto-native companies to consider Wall Street and revived shelved IPO plans. Gemini filed for an IPO three days later. Now, Tron has announced its ambitions.
Why Trust Trumps Ideology
Mainstream adoption isn’t happening through self-custody wallets or DeFi protocols. Instead, the fastest path runs through traditional finance—making crypto accessible via trusted channels.
Adoption Math:
- Traditional finance serves billions.
- Crypto serves 560 million globally.
Bitcoin ETFs have driven more mainstream penetration in one year than a decade of "not your keys, not your coins" advocacy.
Key Drivers:
- Regulatory Credibility: SEC oversight provides compliance assurances.
- Transparency: Quarterly reports and audited financials build trust.
- Institutional Acceptance: BlackRock and Fidelity’s crypto services legitimize the sector.
