A recent key piece of information has caused ripples in the market—the official stance of the Federal Reserve has undergone a clear shift, announcing that the U.S. banking system is now officially authorized to directly serve compliant cryptocurrency clients. This is not just a simple wording adjustment but a tangible policy shift.

What does this specifically mean?

Banks can now:
Directly custody and hold crypto assets, conduct business with crypto enterprises, and develop innovative products based on blockchain technology. The previous awkward situation of "unclear policies" has been broken.

How important is this shift? Many may not realize that in recent years, the crypto industry has been enduring an "invisible strangulation"—banks, due to risk considerations, dare not engage; financial institutions are hesitant; deposit and withdrawal channels are limited. These invisible barriers have accumulated into a bottleneck for the entire ecosystem. Now, this gate has been opened.

What will happen next?

The barriers between traditional finance and crypto are becoming transparent—bank balance sheets can include crypto positions, institutional clients no longer need to take detours, and compliance infrastructure is gradually improving. Mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are shifting from trading assets to asset classes that can be officially included in investment portfolios.

This means an acceleration of capital flow into the market. Not because of technological breakthroughs, but because the channels are now open. Imagine tens of trillions of dollars in traditional financial capital, which once stopped due to policy ambiguity, now gradually flowing in—what will happen? How will liquidity be re-priced?

From the adoption path, the ladder of banks → institutions → enterprises → countries has already begun to take shape. The Federal Reserve’s move is equivalent to giving official recognition to this entire ladder.

Of course, market reactions will depend on subsequent specific implementations. But from a policy signal perspective, the excuse of "waiting for clarity" is no longer valid. Infrastructure is also progressing in parallel.

The data and facts are here—this is the institutional prerequisite for large-scale entry into the crypto market. Capital is highly sensitive; such policy shifts often trigger chain reactions. It’s only a matter of time, not whether it will happen.
