Analysis: The Era of "Bitcoin vs. Banks" Is Ending, Trillion-Dollar Financial Institutions Accelerate Crypto Adoption
Odaily News: As Wall Street and global financial institutions accelerate their entry into the digital asset space, the boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) are gradually blurring. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that the era of "going long Bitcoin and short bankers" is over, and financial institutions are pivoting to the other side of the crypto industry, driving digital asset adoption.Hunter Horsley noted that this summer, two financial institutions, each managing over $1 trillion in assets, approved the launch of crypto products in a bear market environment, showing that large institutions are expanding client access to digital assets. "Everyone put on the crypto jersey this year. Now, everyone is working for the crypto industry," Horsley said. He pointed out that these institutions, managing over a trillion dollars in client assets, would not have opened such services during the 2022 crypto market downturn, but are now actively embracing this sector.Fabian Dori, Chief Investment Officer at Sygnum, also believes the relationship between banks and the crypto industry has undergone a structural shift. "The trade of 'going long Bitcoin and short bankers' is over. Banks have moved from resisting digital assets to building, supporting, and distributing them through custody, tokenization, and compliant trading," a change driven primarily by growing client demand and gradually clarifying regulatory rules, rather than short-term market cycles.Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, said that over the past two years, its client base has increasingly reflected the convergence of traditional and crypto finance. Large financial institutions typically choose to partner with specialized crypto infrastructure companies rather than building their own technology systems.In recent years, a growing number of financial institutions have entered the crypto space, including Swissquote, DBS Bank, BBVA, BNY Mellon, Credit Suisse-affiliated entities, as well as Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab.

Coinbase CEO Urges US Senate to Advance CLARITY Act Vote
: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X platform on July 27, urging the U.S. Senate to advance the vote on the CLARITY Act, stating that the bill was formed through years of bipartisan negotiations. Armstrong stated that the CLARITY Act would strengthen law enforcement powers, introduce new consumer protections, and provide a federal regulatory framework for the digital asset industry. He noted that there are currently no federal laws in the U.S. that protect consumers or support the development of the industry within the country. On July 22, U.S. Senate Republicans released an updated version of the CLARITY Act text, covering disclosure standards, registration requirements, anti-fraud provisions, and expanded anti-money laundering obligations for digital asset market participants. BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon have expressed support for the bill.

Securitize to List on NYSE Under Ticker SECZ
Odaily Odaily: Securitize shares are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday under the ticker symbol SECZ. Securitize is a tokenization company backed by BlackRock, which has assisted companies like BlackRock in issuing securities on-chain. Securitize President Brett Redfearn stated that bringing real-world assets on-chain allows investors to control assets in digital form and reduces intermediaries in traditional businesses. Using stock lending as an example, he noted that Robinhood currently retains approximately 85% of the related revenue, while Charles Schwab splits the revenue evenly with users. Redfearn believes that DeFi can offer investors in the tokenized securities ecosystem more ways to utilize assets, but such growth also depends on development by external builders. Robinhood is expected to launch a new product on Wednesday; previously, Compass Point analyst Ed Engel suggested that it may include tokenized stocks compatible with DeFi.

Silicon Valley Bank: Bitcoin Collateralized Loan Market Accelerating Institutionalization, Interest Rates Expected to Continue Declining
According to a research report by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the Bitcoin collateralized loan market has completed its reconstruction after experiencing the successive collapses of BlockFi, Celsius, and Genesis in 2022, and the current ecosystem places greater emphasis on collateral transparency and risk management. In Q1 2026, the total crypto collateralized loan volume reached $67 billion, a year-over-year increase of approximately 50%. Several major US banks have already offered Bitcoin collateralized credit lines to select clients, with JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citi, Charles Schwab, and Morgan Stanley all having entered the market. In February this year, Canadian digital asset lending company Ledn completed the issuance of $188 million in Bitcoin collateralized ABS, receiving a BBB investment-grade rating from S&P Global, marking the first Bitcoin collateralized securitized product approved by a major rating agency.

Opinion: Prediction Markets Won’t Have a Single Dominant Player; They Will Follow the Perpetual Contract Development Path, Forming a Multi-Platform Coexistence Landscape
CJ Hetherington, co-founder and CEO of prediction market platform Limitless Labs, stated that he does not believe the prediction market industry will see a single dominant monopoly player. He draws a parallel to the offshore perpetual contract market, where even leading platforms have never long-term held over 90% market share. Core trading volume in the derivatives market comes from market makers and high-frequency traders, who typically operate across multiple platforms to exploit spreads for arbitrage, structurally limiting market concentration.CJ Hetherington cited Binance’s perpetual contracts as an example, noting that its market share once approached 50% but was gradually diverted by other trading platforms, leading to a multi-platform coexistence pattern. He argues that prediction markets will follow a similar path rather than a "winner-takes-all" outcome.Hetherington pointed out that future industry distribution will primarily be conducted through brokers and futures commission merchants, with institutions like Robinhood, Interactive Brokers, and Charles Schwab competing in distribution. Fees and marketing will become the core of consumer-side competition. However, the U.S. regulatory framework is an "advantage rather than an obstacle" for the prediction market industry, as CFTC oversight helps reduce contract disputes, enhance transparency, and is also more suitable for institutional participation.

Citing JPMorgan Chase as an example, he noted that 18 months ago, the institution was still "belittling" Bitcoin, yet now it allows customers to use their Bitcoin holdings as collateral to apply for home loans.Eric Trump also mentioned that traditional financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch and Charles Schwab have begun to embrace Bitcoin. He stated that these institutions have realized they can no longer fight against industry trends and have thus started to pivot towards supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem. He also revealed that American Bitcoin's current goal is to become the lowest-cost acquirer of Bitcoin in the industry. (CoinDesk)

Bernstein: Bitcoin Bull Market Cycle Will Be Longer, Institutional Capital and Stablecoin Demand Drive Rally
Odaily Bernstein stated in a research report that the cryptocurrency market is currently showing signs of fundamental strengthening. Analysts pointed out that Bitcoin has formed a bottom near $60,000 and is now advancing toward the $80,000 mark. Institutional capital inflows, MicroStrategy's continued accumulation of Bitcoin through STRC products, and the deep integration of blockchain with financial infrastructure collectively create an asymmetric upside potential.Bernstein emphasized that new distribution channels from Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab's spot trading platform have broadened participation. Currently, approximately 60% of Bitcoin's supply has not moved in over a year, with institutional demand reinforcing its holding base. Additionally, stablecoin supply has reached a record high of $300 billion, with its payment and settlement demand decoupling from market sentiment. The tokenized real-world asset sector has grown 110% year-over-year to $345 billion. Although quantum computing poses a long-term risk, analysts believe the industry has ample time to undergo a secure transition.
