In the past six months, the traditional financial world has quietly undergone changes. Financial giants like Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, UBS, and Wells Fargo have all opened the door to crypto assets and launched related allocation plans. This is not a small-scale effort — currently, these institutions' crypto asset allocations have exceeded $15 trillion.

How exaggerated is this scale? It is enough to redefine the market’s operating logic. The traditional four-year cycle theory seems powerless in the face of these decade-level institutional forces. When so much money enters the market and so many institutions choose to participate, the cycle itself is being rewritten.

Based on this judgment, industry voices have become clearer. Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, straightforwardly stated: 2026 will not be a down year. On the contrary, he is optimistic that the market will remain strong. This is not blind optimism but a forecast based on the objective fact of large-scale institutional entry.

150 trillion? Damn, is this number real... Traditional finance is really starting to take it seriously now. The cycle theory is dead; now it all depends on who has more money and who calls the shots. 2026 will be strong? Anyway, I believe it. When big institutions enter the market, it's straightforward and brutal. Wall Street finally remembers crypto; better late than never, right? This time is really different; it feels like we can't go back to the way things were. With institutions pouring so much money in, retail investors have to keep up with the pace too. Wait, is 15 trillion really true? Feels like I can't keep up with the times... The idea that the cycle has been rewritten is a bit extreme, but it does make sense. This is the power of big capital, so much money that it can change the rules.

15 trillion? Damn, that's a bit outrageous. Traditional finance is really starting to get serious. The cycle theory needs to be rewritten; this time is different. I'm optimistic about 2026, but it still depends on how things develop afterward.

15 trillion? Damn, just saying that number makes my mouth water. Traditional finance is really starting to get serious, not just testing the waters. The cycle theory is about to be rewritten, sounds so satisfying. Hold strong until 2026, I believe in this logic. Institutional entry is a whole different ballgame, retail investors feel like they've been lifted onto a sedan chair haha. The four-year cycle is dead, let's welcome the new era, everyone. Damn, this time is truly different, feels like it's about to take off.

1.5 trillion market entry still dares to talk about cycle theory? Wake up, the game rules have already changed --- Wall Street is really starting to take it seriously, this time it's not just testing the waters --- Matt Hougan is right, with so much capital backing, why would 2026 fall --- From a four-year cycle to a ten-year level of strength, it's truly a leap in magnitude, the gameplay has really changed --- What does 15 trillion mean? It's enough to create a new market, no wonder some people are so optimistic --- I believe in the rewriting of the cycle, after all, money speaks much louder than technical analysis

150 trillion? Is that real? That number sounds outrageous --- Large capital inflows change the cycle, it sounds like they're just trying to hype themselves up --- So is it still possible to get in now, or is it already too late? --- Institutions rushing in actually makes me a bit nervous, I always feel something's off --- 2026 being strong? Let's see how next year goes first --- The four-year cycle theory has failed; I've heard this argument in every bull market... --- So much money coming in doesn't mean there's no risk, everyone shouldn't be too optimistic --- Wait, is 15 trillion a real figure or an estimate? Feels exaggerated --- Having the cycle rewritten sounds great, but no one knows what it will be changed to --- When Matt Hougan says this, I get a bit cautious, I feel like someone is trying to manipulate the market
