【BlockBeats】A new move by a global financial giant has attracted market attention. This longstanding institution managing $51.7 trillion in assets recently announced that it will officially launch a tokenization product line. From tokenized money market funds, to crypto-friendly ETF products, to stablecoins and tokenized deposit schemes, this combination signals a clear message — traditional finance is fully embracing the digital asset ecosystem.

The head of investment services at the institution stated that this move is a “key step” in the company’s strategy. Considering that they have previously been involved in managing and settling crypto ETFs, and last year partnered with Galaxy Digital to develop a tokenized fund project, the decision to further expand their product line now seems reasonable. More notably, the institution indicated that they will gradually increase custody services based on the evolution of regulatory environments — which means they are carefully assessing market maturity.

The collective layout of traditional financial institutions is rewriting the ecosystem landscape of the digital asset market.

Large capital inflows, this is really happening now, 51.7 trillion says it all Wow, traditional finance has finally lowered its guard, but we need to be cautious with stablecoins Tokenized deposits? Feels like we're one step closer to widespread adoption The rise of bank-affiliated platforms is a good thing, but will they be restricted by policies again? Who knows This is paving the way, step by step, no wonder I was optimistic about this area before It's very meaningful when established institutions get involved, the market maturity is indeed changing Real institutional players should step up, the retail investor advantage might be coming to an end Stablecoins combined with tokenized deposits—this combo is quite aggressive Big players are all here, this cycle is truly different

$51.7 trillion monster finally taking it seriously, is there hope for the crypto world now? --- Again with tokenization and stablecoins, are traditional giants planning to swallow us all? --- But honestly, these guys are acting much faster than I expected. It was about time. --- Regulations are not finalized yet, but they’re already starting to lay out their plans. They’re really bold. --- That Galaxy Digital partnership was obvious from the start; it’s just a facade now. --- Large capital inflows usually lead to price increases, right? That’s a law. --- It feels like the banking system is about to undergo a complete transformation. Traditional finance is really being rewritten. --- Wait, can someone tell me what actual benefits this brings to retail investors? --- $51 trillion pouring in, the centralized vibe is getting stronger and stronger. I’m a bit worried. --- Once this combo punch is out, how can smaller platforms survive? It’s a direct dimensionality reduction attack.

No way, the financial giant with $51.7 trillion is also starting to tokenize. Traditional finance really can't sit still anymore. Wait, when was this collaboration with Galaxy Digital? It suddenly feels like everyone is rushing in all at once. Talking about a "key step," but it's really just betting on the future of Web3, right? Better to lay a solid foundation just in case. Is this a move to harvest retail investors, or are they genuinely optimistic? Something feels a bit off. Custody services are gradually catching up, which means they are waiting for regulatory approval, or they only dare to act depending on policy signals.

The monster worth $51.7 trillion has finally taken action. With this move, do retail investors still have a chance? Why didn't they act earlier? They should have laid out the plan last year. Really? After the Galaxy incident, they still dare to play with tokenization? I don't believe you. Wait, what does it mean that custodial services are gradually increasing? Is regulation not in place yet? Is traditional finance being forced to enter or is it really tempting? Think about it carefully, it's terrifying. No, when did these people become so aggressive? There must be internal disputes. Stablecoin plus deposit scheme—this combo punch is a bit fierce. Suddenly realized, this might be the last straw for traditional finance to save itself. Forget it, if big players come in, let them. Anyway, we can't run away. Really worried that if this continues, small investors will all be washed out in the end. $51.7 trillion—once I saw this number, I knew the game rules were about to change. Tokenized deposits? This is heading for a collision with the existing banking system.

Really? The old guys in traditional finance are finally not pretending anymore? $51.7 trillion tokenized, now the crypto world is saved. --- Another big institution jumping on the bandwagon, let's wait until the actual custody service launches before commenting. --- Haha, Galaxy Digital is involved, isn't this a confirmation of mainstream acceptance? --- I just want to know if their stablecoin solution can hold up, otherwise it's just a hollow shell. --- Regulatory-friendly + backed by financial giants, this combo is quite powerful. It should have been like this a long time ago. --- So, does anyone really use this stuff, or is it just another scam to harvest retail investors? --- Tokenized deposits? If this spreads out, the banking system will have to reshuffle. --- They're just hyping it up here, let's talk when it actually lands. --- Finally, it's their turn. They looked down on it before, now they're pushing hard—kind of ironic. --- Gradually increasing custody services means testing the market response first, old foxes do the same.
