@HHorsley The custody and ETF points are tightly connected: access is part of the investment thesis. A long-term plan should cover both portfolio allocation and the people who inherit it.

@HHorsley Access! ETFs, custody frameworks, index products and onchain portfolios are steadily getting rid of the plumbing problems that kept big capital out. The question is What will they buy when the rails are fully open?

@HHorsley Which SEC custody rule or release are you referring to, and is it proposed or already final? The status and effective date determine what RIAs can act on now.

Crypto becoming easier for funds and wealth managers to access is a major step toward mainstream adoption. But more institutional money doesn’t automatically mean better fundamentals. It can also mean more speculation and price-driven demand. Bitcoin has the clearest case because it has the longest track record, but investors should still separate easier access from genuine long-term value.

I’m with you on this topic. You and @Kamoflawless both do a good job looking past the “crypto up or down” debate, and the bigger story is market structure.
