The market is actively racing to capture the impending flood of capital."Brian Huang, co-founder of fintech company Glider, also commented on this issue. In an email, he stated: "A bombshell announcement came overnight that Vanguard will now allow trading of crypto ETFs on its platform. They have been one of the main opponents of cryptocurrency in the past, and now they are shifting from an old investment mindset. They want to protect their clients, but it is now clear that the demand for investment in digital assets exceeds the risks they perceive." He also highlighted the latest developments at Bank of America, which recently expressed an open attitude towards clients incorporating cryptocurrencies into their portfolios. Chris Hyzy, Chief Investment Officer of Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank, stated in a statement: "For investors with a strong interest in thematic innovation and who can tolerate higher volatility, it may be appropriate to moderately allocate 1% to 4% of their portfolio to digital assets."

However, he added: "In the long run, it seems everyone agrees that Bitcoin will inevitably reach $150,000—it's just a matter of time."
