🛠️ The real institutional adoption isn't in the ETF flows. It's in the plumbing.
Major banks are now using blockchain networks for intraday repo transactions and cross-border settlements. Why? Settlement in minutes, not days, and reduced counterparty risk.
• The Narrative: This is "Blockchain-as-Service" (BaaS). It's not about price speculation; it's about infrastructure efficiency.
• The Beneficiaries: Follow the enterprise-grade chains (e.g., $XRP, $XLM, $QNT) and the interoperability protocols that connect traditional finance (TradFi) to decentralized finance (DeFi).
• Your Edge: While traders chase volatility, the steady, recurring-revenue models of these infrastructure plays are being built. This is a long-term value accrual bet.
The first phase was institutions buying crypto. The second, more powerful phase is institutions using crypto.
