▶️ #Strategy has significantly accelerated the accumulation of #BTC since #Trump's victory at the end of 2024 — meanwhile, social activity around #Bitcoin has dropped to its lowest level in a year. A classic cycle: big capital buys quietly while the crowd loses interest. 👀 #Crypto #DeFi

🤔 A recent #DeFi hack may temporarily slow down Wall Street's ambitions.

The attack on #KelpDAO (nearly $300M) hit not only #DeFi but also institutional sentiment. Following the event, the market saw a wave of fear - about $10B in capital reportedly flowed out of major protocols (#Aave).

This could temporarily cool #TradFi's appetite for #blockchain and tokenization—because the deeper banks, funds, and fintechs go on-chain, the more damaging each such failure is to trust in the infrastructure.

And the problem (or opportunity) is that the big players are already here— #BlackRock, #Franklin Templeton, #Apollo. The conclusion? DeFi won't stop because of one hack… but security is becoming a key KPI if this industry is to grow to the scale of #WallStreet. #Crypto #RWA #WEB3

📊 According to Token Terminal, tokenized assets are already held by about 1.2 million unique addresses.

57% of this market is occupied by tokenized funds (687,500 holders).

For comparison: stablecoins have about 247 million unique addresses. #Crypto #RWA #WEB3

🪙 #Bitcoin on-chain activity has fallen to 2018 bear market levels, although the price has increased several times since then. Analysts believe this may indicate a shift in demand toward institutions #BTC is increasingly used through centralized services rather than directly on-chain. #Crypto #DeFi

▶️ Key points from the interview with CZ

• In 5 years, #cryptocurrency will stop being called #crypto and will become the basic financial infrastructure.
• #Blockchain and #AI technologies will merge, creating a new settlement system inaccessible to the banking environment.
• Traditional #finance and cryptocurrencies will fully merge into a single system, and the term "cryptocurrency" will disappear.
• The US is striving to return to the crypto industry after a period of regulatory pressure.
• Bear markets are considered the ideal time to launch projects due to low competition.
• #CZ invests all his assets in cryptocurrency and is convinced that technology changes people's lives.

🪙 The second-largest bullish sentiment regarding #XRP in the last 2 years is observed in social media. Such events do not always lead to immediate significant price spikes. Usually, this happens after the initial wave of euphoria, when FOMO subsides, leading to a bullish trend. #Crypto #Ripple
