Wall Street Goes Crypto: Institutional Money Floods Digital Asset Markets

Bitcoin smashes through $100K as BlackRock and Fidelity double down—turns out even suits like gambling when the house can’t rig the game.

Bullish signals flash across exchanges: BNB hits ATH, Ethereum ETFs get rubber-stamped, and suddenly every hedge fund manager remembers they ’always believed’ in blockchain.

The irony? Banks now scrambling to buy what they spent a decade calling ’rat poison’—welcome to financial revolution 2.0, where the inmates run the asylum.

May’s Cryptocurrency Ascendancy

Bitcoin$104,947‘s value displayed volatility, dropping to $102 before finding buyers at $105,460 through Binance TR’s data. Despite a red candlestick forming on the weekly chart, the persistent targeting of the $105,800 resistance level suggests that surpassing $107,000 could lead to more substantial gains. Aptly capturing this cycle’s peak excitement, the chart might soon reflect an encouraging upward trend.

Numerous financial giants disclosed their strategic plans for cryptocurrencies, targeting 2025. JPMorgan recently confirmed plans to enable BTC transactions for its clientele. Other trillion-dollar entities have declared they’re developing crypto products, with the largest institutions already offering such services to their customers through ETFs.

Bloomberg reported that Revolut aims for a €1 billion endeavor in France within this institutional adoption race. This investment aims to secure a banking license for offering credit, cryptocurrency, and trading services exclusively in France. Therefore, France is pursuing a banking license specifically for crypto services.

Revolut is targeting ten different banking licenses globally, including a banking license in Mexico and a prepaid payment services license in India, among many others.

Crypto Prices Projected to Soar

Cryptocurrencies have yet to fully incorporate the industry’s shifting dynamics since TRUMP took office. His tenure brought tariffs, exerting pressure over the last six months.

Nevertheless, the imposition’s impact is fading. FTX will return $5 billion in cash to its customers by month’s end, marking the largest such operation to date. Substantial cash inflows into the crypto market, notably while altcoins remain affordable, are anticipated.

November is not far off, as anticipation builds for altcoin ETF approvals. Notably, CME has launched XRP Coin options today. Simply put, a single catalyst is needed, and once ignited, the cryptocurrency market might enter one of its most unique rally phases yet.
