According to the latest "2026 Global Crypto Regulation Report" released by PwC, the industry's embrace of crypto assets has reached a point of "no return."

One of the key findings of the report is particularly noteworthy: the logic of industry discussions is undergoing a fundamental shift. Previously, the debate centered on whether institutions should enter the crypto space; now, this question is largely no longer a concern. Instead, a more pragmatic issue has emerged — how institutions should integrate and deploy crypto assets within the existing financial system and regulatory framework.

What does this shift mean? It indicates that institutions' attitudes toward crypto assets have evolved from a wait-and-see or exploratory phase to a stage where they must find practical and feasible implementation solutions. Crypto assets, once considered an "option," are gradually becoming a "must-answer" in institutional asset allocation.

So now institutions are not asking whether to get on board, but figuring out how to get on without crashing... This shift in logic is indeed brilliant. --- Even PwC says so, then there's really no turning back, it's a must-answer question, brother. --- From optional to mandatory, that turnaround is a bit quick... But for us retail investors, it seems like there's not much difference? --- The key still depends on how regulation is handled; if the framework changes, everything could collapse. --- To put it simply, institutions used to pretend they didn't care, but now they can't sit still and have to seriously figure out what to do, haha.

Damn, this is the moment when institutions are forced to enter the market, no way to escape... --- From "Should I" to "How to play," basically everyone has given up, haha --- The term "must-answer question" is used brilliantly, it feels like being forced onto the Liangshan Marsh --- This PwC report is quite real, once you’re committed, there’s no turning back --- Wait, does this mean as long as you want to make money, you have to get into crypto? Interesting stuff --- Institutional entry is already the trend, us retail investors are actually more free, huh --- Finally no more listening to those "cryptocurrency is a scam" arguments, so annoying --- What sounds like a "landing plan" is actually just how to quietly enter without regulatory targeting, right? --- Now there’s no hiding the truth, they’ve admitted it

Now institutions have to choose sides; neutrality is no longer an option. If they don't act now, they'll be left behind.

Hmm... so now it's the stage where institutions are racing against time to secure positions? The group of "wait and see" people from before are only now realizing it, which is a bit late.
