Instead of staring at the charts, it’s better to see what those who are really at the helm are doing.

While retail investors are still debating whether Ethereum can rebound, Wall Street's big players have already revealed their hand: BlackRock—the giant that once siphoned off billions of dollars with its Bitcoin ETF—has officially submitted an application for an Ethereum staking ETF. How crucial is this move? Simply put, it allows ordinary people to easily hold interest-bearing Ethereum just like buying a fund.

The more powerful is yet to come. JPMorgan manages $4 trillion in global assets, and this old Wall Street giant, which once scoffed at cryptocurrencies, has now announced the deployment of tokenized currency funds on the Ethereum network. Don't underestimate this step—this is no longer a "let's give it a try" attitude, but rather a statement: Ethereum will become the clearing hub for tens of trillions of dollars in traditional assets in the future.

This is not a prelude to a bull market; it is a redistribution of financial power dynamics.

The $62,500 Bitcoin target price shouted by those analysts is indeed frightening, but the real shock is that their logic is gradually coming to fruition. Value in traditional finance is migrating to the blockchain in a large-scale, compliant manner. BlackRock is paving the way, and JPMorgan is building infrastructure. When the most robust financial giants begin to turn, what they bring is not a wave of speculation, but a potential influx of value that could last for several years.

Undercurrents are more fierce than the waves.

But this feast led by Wall Street also means that severe volatility is inevitable—Ethereum may soar, or it may plummet significantly with the influx and outflow of massive funds. The real question is: how can you protect the profits you’ve already made while chasing this wave?

ETH-0.23%

BTC-0.37%

The black swan has arrived, and the moment the big money paved the way has begun, while retail investors are still watching the Candlestick.

BlackRock and JPMorgan are taking action one after another. This is not just a补涨, it's paving the highway. --- Honestly, rather than staring at Candlesticks every day, it’s better to just hold on tight and wait for Wall Street to set up the market; everything will naturally follow. --- The number 62,500 sounds outrageous, but major institutions have started moving bricks onto the on-chain, which indicates something. --- Why does it feel like this round is a redistribution of power? Are retail investors still buying the dip or just watching? --- JPMorgan getting serious is what truly means serious. A long-established financial institution turning around sends a very strong signal. --- To put it simply, just be wary of fluctuations. If you've made money, don’t be greedy. When large amounts of funds are coming in and out, know when to run. --- The undercurrents are more ferocious than the waves. This phrase has some depth, meaning don’t just look at the surface rises and falls. --- Once staking ETFs appear, it will be as easy for ordinary people to buy Ether as buying stocks or mutual funds, with the threshold being incredibly low. --- I just want to know when this wave rises, when is the right time to lock in profits; that feels like the key. --- Financial giants have turned around, while we small retail investors are still here tangled in whether to补涨.

BlackRock and JPMorgan are revealing their cards one by one, while retail investors are still watching the Candlestick charts; it's really time to wake up. Wall Street has truly gotten on board, and this is the essence of long-term fundamentals, much more reliable than those technical predictions. To be honest, I’m afraid of those who rush in and then run out quickly; it’ll be tough when they get played for suckers. This wave is truly a shift at the institutional level, much fiercer than mere speculation.

When BlackRock and Morgan Stanley make a move, retail investors should just shut up; this wave is truly different.

I have experienced it all; the narrative in 2017 was also that institutions were getting on board. And what happened? ETF applications ≠ actually being in place, and compliance has been discussed for five years and is still being discussed. BlackRock and Morgan are now making a lot of noise, but by the time the big funds actually get on board, retail investors will have already been cleaned out.

Once BlackRock and Morgan entered the market, the retail investors' chips were no longer appealing.

BlackRock and Morgan's recent moves, to put it bluntly, are just rolling out the red carpet for us to enter... but don't be lulled into a false sense of prosperity. The truly smart people have probably already started to reduce position. How long can this wave last? I can't bet on that. It's the same old "institutions are coming, a bull run is on the way," I've been hearing that for three years... It's not that institutions aren't important, it's just that the timing feels a bit too coincidental. Instead of waiting for their next move, it's better to first see if the chips in your hands are still worth something. Is there a strong undercurrent? It hurts, I just want to know when to run.
