Here's what really changed the game: passive money.

Index funds and ETFs now represent roughly 52% of US long-term fund assets—that's over $19 trillion in play. Think about that scale for a moment.

Had regulators blocked digital asset treasury companies from this space, they'd effectively lock themselves out of more than half the entire US investable market. Billions in capital flows would've faced barriers. The math doesn't work for institutional players considering such restrictions.

52% are passive funds... No wonder institutions have to come in; it's unstoppable.

52%? As soon as this number comes out, regulators have to bow and scrape, it's unavoidable.

52%? That's a frightening number. Passive investing has already dominated half of the market.

ngl, these numbers are scary... 19 trillion just flowed into passive funds. If regulators really lock down crypto assets, that would be a truly suicidal decision.

52% of passive index funds have been absorbed, which is why institutions are so eager to get into digital assets.

$19 trillion, regulation has turned around and knelt. This is what it means when the market speaks, and the retail investors shut up.
