【Crypto World】Fintech circle is making big moves again. A leading trading service provider announced a deep partnership with a digital asset derivatives company, not only leading the company’s Series A funding but also acquiring a minority stake.

The cooperation logic is very clear: the former values the latter’s technical expertise in derivatives and plans to introduce digital asset options and structured products for its institutional clients; the latter, in turn, leverages the former’s spot and futures infrastructure to make its fund management solutions more comprehensive. In simple terms, it’s a “professional matchmaking” game—financial veterans and tech innovators each leverage their strengths to jointly expand the boundaries of the digital asset market. This integration route of traditional finance and Web3 ecosystem is increasingly becoming mainstream.

Traditional finance operates this way: first collaborate, then acquire. The tactics are quite old. But it does help accelerate Web3's path to maturity.

It's the same old story. When traditional finance gets involved, they talk about ecosystem integration. Honestly, they just want a piece of the pie.

Here we go again with this? It should have been like this a long time ago. Why do I always react only at the last moment?

Traditional finance is entering the scene, and the derivatives market is about to take off --- This collaboration method is interesting, leveraging infrastructure to complement each other's weaknesses, looks like a win-win --- Here we go again? Old-school finance players start to cut new retail investors --- Structured products entering the crypto space, retail investors need to be very careful --- Actually, this is the real upgrade in finance, not just hype concepts --- Options connecting with institutional clients, retail investors still have to stay on the sidelines --- Is fusion becoming mainstream? Then what’s unique about the crypto world haha --- I’m optimistic about this direction, but don’t get caught by high leverage --- Derivatives + spot infrastructure, this is an ecological closed loop --- Traditional finance routines are still the same, switching tracks to continue cutting

Those traditional finance folks finally can't hold back anymore; they still have to rely on Web3 technology to keep their jobs.

Traditional finance is really starting to get serious, they were just watching before, now they are directly investing money to get involved. --- Another "mutual benefit" marriage, to put it nicely, is actually the financial giants taking over the equity of innovative companies. --- Derivatives + spot + futures all-in-one, are institutions planning to thoroughly harvest retail investors? --- I like this direction, but trustworthiness is somewhat discounted; it depends on how it is ultimately executed. --- A bunch of partnership cases, but the question is whether the ecosystem has truly integrated or if it's just利益绑定. --- Brilliant, combining traditional financial infrastructure with innovative new technology—this is the way it should be played. --- It's only a matter of time. For Web3 to truly take off, this path is unavoidable. --- Another funding news, I don't know when we will see real products being implemented.
