#数字资产动态追踪 Regulatory shift in direction, but institutional giants are quietly increasing their positions



The past couple of years have indeed been tough for the crypto market. Over in the US, it was like an eagle swooping down on chickens; various financial institutions were so scared they were silent, fearing that even a tiny exposure to crypto assets would lead to repercussions. But have you noticed? Recently, the trend seems to be changing.

PwC recently announced plans to expand its crypto business. This isn’t a small retail investor; it’s one of the Big Four accounting firms. Its every move often signifies a shift in traditional financial institutions’ attitude towards the entire sector. More importantly, the regulatory approach in the US is quietly adjusting—from the previous "ban everything" stance to a gradual "categorical management and orderly promotion."

In other words, the gate that once blocked the way has now opened.

You see, the regulatory environment shifting from suppression to standardization is itself a signal—crypto assets are gradually moving away from being demonized "underground businesses" and are being integrated into the traditional financial system. The involvement of institutions like the Big Four accounting firms essentially indicates: this sector is now worth deep exploration.

In the past two years, many voices have been pessimistic about crypto, claiming that the crypto world is doomed or that it’s a Ponzi scheme… But now, even traditional financial giants are starting to get involved. Doesn’t this confirm that an era of crypto moving from "wild growth" to "regulated development" is coming?

So, rather than obsessing over short-term price fluctuations, it’s better to observe the real actions of these major institutions. The combination of regulatory shifts, institutional entry, and market normalization—these three factors together are already a good omen for holders.

Ah... PwC really stepped in? It seems the trend is definitely changing; regulation has shifted from a machete to scissors.

Well, PwC's recent moves are indeed interesting, but don't get too excited. Let's see how they actually invest real money later on. --- Does PwC's entry mean a turning point? I think maybe overthinking it. Let's wait and see how their crypto business develops specifically before jumping to conclusions. --- Sounds nice, but has the regulation really loosened? I see they're still imposing various restrictions. --- Haha, those who said two years ago that the crypto world would cool down—look at them now. This is just a cycle game. --- Institutional accumulation is indeed a good sign, but don't forget they also want to profit from retail investors. You need to be aware of that. --- Mainly, it depends on the attitude of the US side. The voices from Europe and Hong Kong are actually clearer. --- Instead of tracking institutional moves, it's better to focus on real data from exchanges. On-chain activity is the real story. --- Sounds good to regulate development, but for holders, wouldn't that just mean various restrictions?

nah tbh the institutional FOMO angle is mid... like yeah PwC expanding their crypto ops sounds bullish on paper, but let's talk opportunity cost here—they're playing catch-up while the real value extraction was already happening two years ago. thesis validation? more like thesis *latency*, fr fr

Hmm, PwC's move this time is really something; when the Big Four get active, it's a different story --- Coming with the same routine again? When regulators loosen up, institutions jump in. I've heard this logic too many times --- Basically, it's just that the money has sniffed out an opportunity. The big players have already started eating the meat --- Normalization sounds good, but I'm just worried it might be a case of changing the soup without changing the medicine --- Wait, is this real? Why don't I feel the wind changing? --- Retail investors entering now are just waiting to be harvested. Smart money has already laid out the plan --- Regulatory friendliness is indeed a good sign, but that doesn't mean prices will skyrocket immediately, everyone --- I don't believe you. Last time you said that, the market crashed --- PwC expanding its business is considered a positive? Feels like they're still just cutting our leeks --- Hmm, big capital moves are always more honest than words, worth paying attention to

Hmm... PwC's move is quite interesting, definitely different It seems that big institutions are finally dropping the pretense and pouring real money in Regulation has shifted from suppression to standardization, and this change is indeed a signal, but I don't know when the domestic side will also loosen up I'm not paying attention to short-term prices, just watching the genuine actions of these big players I knew it would happen long ago, just coming faster than I expected

PwC's recent actions have been anticipated for a long time. Large institutions don't enter the market without reason; where the money flows, there are opportunities. The softening regulatory attitude is indeed a signal, but don't be too naive. Standardization also means that the methods of cutting leeks will become more covert. Do your homework before getting on board. The key to this wave of market movement still depends on whether there are actual positive developments in the follow-up; just talking without action is fake. Wait, does the entry of the Big Four mean safety? I remember in 2017, there were also large institutions bullish... Liking the crypto sector is correct, but don't let the institutions' "布局" (布局: strategic layout) hijack your thinking. Holding coins requires your own logic. If you entered at this point, you need to prepare psychologically; short-term volatility will be intense.
