Crypto 2025: The Institutional Takeover** 🏦🚀

**Bitcoin** is now a *macro asset*: Spot ETFs hold **$78B+**, pushing BTC toward **$100K** as pension funds allocate 1–3%. BlackRock’s IBIT alone averages **$450M daily inflows** .

**Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade** (Q1 2026) targets wallet security (EIP-3074) and 40% lower fees. Staking yields will hit **5.2%**, locking 35M+ ETH .

**Real-World Assets (RWA)** explode:

- Tokenized gold, real estate, and T-bills surge to **$16B TVL** .

- BlackRock’s **BUIDL fund** dominates, offering on-chain Treasury yields .

**Altcoin action**:

- Solana flips ETH in daily users (**2.3M vs. 1.9M**) post-Firedancer upgrade .

- AI tokens ($RNDR, $FET) soar **120% YTD** as NVIDIA backs blockchain-AI mergers .

**Risks linger**: Mt. Gox’s **$9B BTC repayments** (July ‘25) may trigger volatility. SEC lawsuits target stablecoins . Yet, rate cuts and BRICS’ de-dollarization push cement crypto as a **$10T asset class** .
