Major development in institutional crypto adoption: JPMorgan now recognizes Ethereum as eligible collateral for loan products. This marks a significant shift in how traditional finance perceives digital assets—moving beyond mere speculation to treating them as legitimate financial instruments. The move reflects growing confidence in Ethereum's technical stability and market maturity. For traders and DeFi participants, this type of institutional validation could have cascading effects on broader market perception and liquidity dynamics. It's yet another indicator that the line between traditional finance and decentralized systems continues to blur, with major players increasingly integrating crypto assets into their standard operations.

JPMorgan's move is brilliant, using ETH as collateral... Now traditional finance really can't hold up anymore.

JPM's move has truly changed the game, Ethereum as collateral is now recognized. --- Once again, institutional endorsement. This time it's JPM, the ecosystem is really taking off. --- Wait, is this real? Morgan Stanley is starting to use ETH as collateral? What's next, BTC should follow suit too. --- This is a trend indicator. Institutions are starting to treat cryptocurrencies as legitimate assets. The old speculation-only approach has been completely discredited. --- 🔥 I agree that the boundary is becoming blurred, but the real test has yet to come. --- When JPM moves, a bunch of other banks will probably become uneasy. --- So holding ETH now is really like putting money in a bank? That's a bit extreme. --- This is exactly what I've been saying: traditional finance will have to compromise sooner or later. --- Once the collateral is qualified, the next step is probably direct holdings. Just wait and see.

JPMorgan really backed down, Ethereum is signaling to da moon --- I said long ago that institutional catch a falling knife was just a matter of time, and now it's finally here --- No way, now even banks have to acknowledge our assets, feels like we’ve won big --- The key is Liquidity will explode, this wave of institutions get on board really changed the game --- Wait, do they really have faith or do they just want to play people for suckers? I'm a bit worried --- Haha, the last stubbornness of TradFi can no longer ignore encryption --- Using Ethereum as collateral, what does this mean? It means they believe it too --- Even JP Morgan is in, who else is not optimistic about ETH? Just go all in --- But after this wave, there will definitely be a big dump again, prepare yourself mentally --- Is it true? JPMorgan surrendered so quickly? --- This is the signal that the big cake is starting to be cut, retail investors still need to be shrewd
