How much more profit is there in the crypto market? This is a question worth carefully analyzing.

From the perspective of BTC's medium- to long-term performance, the key lies in changes in the policy environment. The shift in the US attitude towards crypto assets to embrace them is an important signal. Although spot ETFs were launched two years ago, we are actually just at the beginning of this stage.

What is the most convincing evidence? Look at the pace of entry by leading institutions like BlackRock. Their start in allocating to crypto assets marks the true participation of traditional financial forces. This is not small-scale activity but institutional recognition.

If we assume BTC can reach $500,000, based on the current price, there is at least a 5x upside. This expectation is not formed out of thin air but is based on tangible catalysts such as policy support, institutional allocations, and ETF adoption. So rather than asking if there are still profits in crypto, it’s better to ask how confident you are in this cycle.

BlackRock really entering the scene is quite shocking; it seems traditional finance truly can't sit still.

The news of BlackRock entering the scene is honestly a turning point; traditional finance is officially getting involved.

BlackRock's entry indeed signals a lot, but the target of 500,000 USD... depends on how long U.S. policy trends can really support it.

BlackRock has truly entered the market, and this is different... On-chain data shows that institutional allocation is indeed accelerating. Although the risk factor has increased, the arbitrage space is also expanding. 500,000? I calculated the liquidation price. Before going all-in, better to set a stop-loss first.

BlackRock's entry indeed says something; traditional funds are starting to take us seriously. Big institutional players are buying up, which speaks for itself. Is 500,000 real? I'll just believe in 50,000 for now, haha. I still have some confidence in this cycle; the key is that policies don't flip. Once ETFs are fully rolled out, how could there be no dividends? Just buy blindly? But honestly, the biggest fear is a policy reversal; at that point, institutions will have to run. The biggest variable in this cycle is probably over in Washington. If it reaches 50,000, I'll be satisfied; this demand isn't unreasonable, right? Big players like BlackRock making moves is truly a sign of strong confidence.

BlackRock's entry is indeed a signal, but to be honest, I've heard the 5x figure too many times... It's always the same routine. $500,000? Alright, I'll just wait to be proven wrong.

BlackRock immediately knew the game rules had changed upon entering; institutional approval is the real endorsement.

BlackRock's entry indeed changes the game rules Institutions are really coming in, policies are also loosening up, in plain terms, it's just waiting for the right moment The 500,000 thing... let's first earn five times the current amount, haha Being able to hold through this cycle is the real skill; dividends and such are all illusions BTC should go up, don't overthink the others

BlackRock has already entered the market. Are you still hesitating about dividends? You need to broaden your perspective.
