Crypto

Crypto is not a sideshow anymore.

It started as strange internet money people joked about. Those days are gone. The market is now worth around $4 trillion. Hedge funds are in. Pension funds are in. Even the big banks that used to roll their eyes at Bitcoin are building and offering crypto products.

And we are still early.

For the first time, the United States has a president who is openly pro-crypto. Not just saying nice things about technology, but actively working to create laws and regulations that give it a place in the mainstream financial system.

Crypto is even making its way into retirement plans. Some 401(k) providers have started offering Bitcoin and Ethereum investment options, allowing savers to allocate a small portion of their retirement portfolios to digital assets.

Tokenization is also starting to take off. That means taking real-world assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, or even art and putting them on the blockchain so they can be traded 24/7, across borders, with fewer middlemen. All the big institutions are all-in.

Stablecoins are growing fast. They are already worth over $230 billion and are seeing daily transaction volumes that rival some payment networks. People use them to send money instantly, pay across borders, and move funds without waiting for banks. This will only accelerate.

Crypto is no longer an afterthought. It's starting to become a significant part of the financial system.
