Recently, U.S. financial regulators and the White House have joined forces to launch a new initiative targeting Crypto Assets. This move aims to extend the advantages of the TradFi market into the Blockchain space, solidifying the U.S.'s leading position in the global financial industry. This trend has prompted Wall Street institutions to conduct in-depth research into Blockchain technology, with Ethereum becoming the preferred choice for many institutions due to its large scale, comprehensive functionality, and relative stability.
Currently, major institutions in the market are beginning to build private chains based on Ethereum, advancing the process of asset tokenization, and actively increasing their holdings of ETH. Data shows that about 12% of Bitcoin's circulating supply is held by listed companies and institutions, while this ratio for Ethereum is only about 6%, which has not yet reached Wall Street's expected level.
Analysts expect that the market may continue to fluctuate in the short term, with some retail investors and those with weak holdings likely to be washed out of the market, while listed companies and large institutions may take the opportunity to swap chips. In the long run, the holding structure of Ethereum may gradually converge with that of Bitcoin, with the proportion of institutional investors' holdings continuously increasing, while the amount of ETH in the hands of retail investors may gradually decrease.
This trend has been reflected in the Bitcoin market. We often see publicly traded companies like MicroStrategy frequently announcing their increased holdings of Bitcoin, while ordinary investors can only look on from afar, mainly due to the high unit price.
For investors who still hold Ether, adhering to a long-term holding strategy may be a wise choice. In this rapidly changing Crypto Assets market, maintaining calm and patience while closely monitoring market trends may provide more opportunities in future market transformations.
