The on-chain money market fund jointly launched by BlackRock and Fidelity officially went live on the Ethereum mainnet yesterday, with the initial minting scale reaching $5 billion. The significance of this move may be far more profound than many people imagine.



The market reaction was almost immediate. Ethereum surged 34% within a week, with the price breaking through the $4,800 mark; after Bitcoin surpassed $120,000, its market cap overtook silver, making it the eighth largest asset in the world. The RWA sector saw an all-out explosion—ONDO soared 72% in a single day, and MKR hit a new all-time high.

J.P. Morgan's analyst team made a prediction: by 2026, more than $3 trillion in traditional funds will flow into the crypto market through compliant RWA protocols. This is not just wishful thinking—BlackRock's move has already proven that traditional capital is voting with real money.

Another, more subtle clue is emerging—AI agents are starting to take over on-chain liquidity. Fetch.ai, invested in by OpenAI and a16z, has autonomous agents in its ecosystem managing over $20 billion in on-chain assets and is beginning to generate actual returns. After a leading exchange launched NEAR futures, trading volume exceeded $1 billion within the first hour of trading, driven by expectations for AI agent infrastructure.

AI wallets with autonomous investment decision-making capabilities are becoming new liquidity black holes. When the floodgates of traditional capital meet AI-driven autonomous protocols, the rules of the game could be completely rewritten.

BlackRock’s recent moves are really like opening the floodgates for the entire crypto market. That $3 trillion figure is a bit intimidating—I feel like 2026 is going to be wild. With traditional capital entering and AI wallets taking off, I’m honestly a bit confused with these two trends overlapping. Is this going to be another game where retail investors get burned? I missed out on ONDO’s 72% pump—always the same, by the time the news comes out it’s already too late. But AI agents managing $20 billion? That sounds a bit outrageous. Is that number even real? Everything is starting to feel surreal. Seeing Bitcoin surpass silver makes it feel like crypto is really about to make a comeback, but can this rally last until next year? I called the RWA explosion a while ago—the only question is who can buy the bottom. Is it too late to enter now? With big names from traditional finance coming in, are they going to completely change the rules of the crypto world? That’s what worries me the most.

1. Not hyping or bashing, but this time it’s for real—big capital is all in. 2. That part about AI wallets is kind of scary, liquidity black holes and all. 3. $120,000 Bitcoin actually happened? I thought I was dreaming. 4. $3 trillion sounds wild, but when BlackRock makes a move, it’s no joke. 5. RWA surging this hard—feels like someone’s about to be left holding the bag.
