I just saw the news that the London Stock Exchange Group has launched an all-weather blockchain settlement platform to handle tokenized deposits. First of all—this is not hype, but a formal recognition of on-chain clearing by top-tier trading infrastructure.

From the perspective of Bitcoin's price trend, this signals a medium- to long-term positive signal, but don’t expect the coin price to skyrocket tomorrow. The reality is that BTC will mostly continue to oscillate in the short term. The core of the platform built by London focuses on improving institutional-level clearing efficiency, achieving T+0 settlement, and reducing counterparty risk. These are infrastructure-level optimizations, not direct large capital inflows into Bitcoin.

But there is a key shift—when the infrastructure of the world’s top exchanges begins to natively support blockchain, market sentiment changes. Funds will increasingly view on-chain assets as trustworthy, compliant long-term investment tools rather than just speculative assets within the circle.

In the medium term, the overall market structure may heat up. On one hand, tokenized deposits, RWA, and on-chain settlement will attract institutions to start from stablecoins and the Ethereum ecosystem; on the other hand, strengthening compliance narratives will enhance Bitcoin’s positioning as "digital gold," increasing its importance in asset portfolios. When liquidity recovers, BTC is usually the last to exit but also the most aggressive.

In summary, don’t expect a sudden surge; treat this as the foundational work for a new cycle. Once the infrastructure is in place, the enthusiasm will eventually follow.

BTC-1.09%

RWA11.74%

ETH-1.55%

Wait a minute, London's recent moves are really different, the institutional signals are fully in place. BTC still needs to be cooked in the short term, but this is laying the infrastructure, and it will eventually be reflected in the market. Once compliance is established, retail investors' mindset will also change, no longer just gambling. Looking forward to the mid-term, RWA and tokenized deposits are about to take off.

The operations at London Stock Exchange are really chess, not just hype for coin prices. Infrastructure is in place, only then will there be stories to tell. --- Institutional entry is not a matter of one or two months; this is laying the groundwork. Don't rush. --- Even if it sounds good, we still have to wait for liquidity to recover, otherwise it's all in vain. --- Compliance + infrastructure, a dual approach is the way to go. The crypto world is finally starting to play seriously. --- We are still in the consolidation phase; don't be fooled by short-term rises and falls. In the long run, it's definitely a positive. --- Don't even think about a sudden surge overnight, but it has indeed changed the market’s attitude towards on-chain assets. --- I think tokenized deposits are the core; Bitcoin's rise and fall are actually secondary. --- The T+0 settlement innovation, traditional finance is finally going to connect with the chain. The trend is set. --- Just wait and see, institutions will gradually come in, and BTC will react the strongest at that time. --- Don't look at short-term fluctuations; the move by London Stock Exchange is enough to change the game.

London's move is actually laying the groundwork; the signal that institutional funds are migrating onto the chain is becoming clearer. --- There's not much to look at in the short term; we still need to keep holding on. --- Wait, can T+0 settlement really take off? It feels like we've been talking about this for a long time. --- With compliance support, BTC's status is indeed different; it's much more convincing compared to pure speculation assets. --- Honestly, I still don't dare to go all in; let's see if institutions really have real money coming in before making a move. --- Building infrastructure is slow, but once it’s done, it will be an ecosystem-level change. --- If RWA can truly connect with traditional finance, that would be a real black swan event.

I really can't hold back anymore. London's recent moves are definitely foundational work, but I'm more concerned about when real funds will actually start to flow in. It seems that institutions are gradually changing their tune, from "we don't touch chains" to "how to regulate chains properly." This shift in attitude is the key. Forget about short-term rises and falls; when RWA truly explodes, you'll know whether you should have gotten in earlier. Infrastructure development? I've heard that phrase too many times. The real focus is on who is actually putting real money into it. Recognition is one thing, but institutional-level compliance and clearing are two different things from retail trading. When these two start to heat up together, that's when things get interesting. I'm confident in the medium-term positive outlook, but no one can say for sure whether it's three months or three years—that's the most frustrating part.

London's recent moves are indeed laying the groundwork, but don't be fooled by the short-term rebound. The real story is that infrastructure is gradually gaining recognition for the chain. Institutional recognition > retail speculation. Remember this order, and you won't get caught. Wait a minute, does this mean stablecoins are about to take off...
