Major regulatory move: The CFTC just gave the green light for Ethereum, Bitcoin, and USDC to serve as collateral in derivatives trading. This marks a significant shift in how traditional finance views crypto assets—no longer just speculative tokens, but legitimate financial instruments with real utility in institutional markets. Could this be the catalyst that bridges TradFi and DeFi once and for all?

Wait, USDC as collateral? This time, stablecoins are really going to turn things around.

It should have been like this a long time ago, otherwise how can institutions play?

Hmm... Now it's really going to turn the world upside down. The signals of institutional entry are becoming increasingly clear.

Wait, is the CFTC's move to make wedding dresses for institutions or really pave the way for retail investors? I tend to be bearish, but there is something about this technicality [thinking] --- Don't be brainwashed by this wave of wind, the dealer has already ambushed you, please cut the leeks carefully --- Bottoming? Pull the plate? It is impossible to distinguish, but once the support level is broken, it has to take profits and run away --- TradFi's embrace of crypto is nothing more than wanting to suck blood, don't be stupid to follow the trend --- This is the real intraday swing opportunity, but there is an ambush area ahead, is the risk control done well? --- The entry of institutions does not represent good news, but depends more on the K-line structure --- To put it bluntly, there is another tool for cutting leeks, so please stay more sober

Now traditional finance really can't sit still; they should have recognized the value of crypto long ago.

Finally, this moment has arrived. The path to institutionalization is becoming clearer, and institutions have long been making their moves behind the scenes.

Here comes another mention of "bridging," I've heard it a hundred times already, haha.

Wait, USDC as collateral? Now traditional finance is really going to accept us.

Wait, are these the only three types of collateral recognized by the CFTC? We need to look at the actual implementation details; policy documents alone don't count. Node validation data is the real hard metric—don’t be misled by public opinion.
