SPY ETF News, 9/8/2025: Market Shakeup as Traditional Finance Gets Crypto-Fluenced
Wall Street's favorite tracker just got a blockchain-powered upgrade—whether it asked for one or not.
The New Flows
Institutional money's pouring into tokenized versions like never before. TradFi giants finally realizing they can't ignore the 24/7 settlement rails that crypto's been running for years.
The Resistance
Old-guard fund managers still clinging to their spreadsheets and T+2 settlements. Meanwhile, smart contracts automate dividend distributions without the usual intermediary fees—cutting out the middleman who used to take a juicy cut.
The Bottom Line
SPY's creeping toward becoming a hybrid asset—part legacy market tracker, part on-chain efficiency play. Guess even dinosaurs learn new tricks when their lunch money's at stake.
