The cryptocurrency world has been buzzing these days — the leading American banks with assets totaling $1.7 trillion have officially announced the relaxation of Bitcoin allocation permissions. From now on, their wealth advisors can directly recommend clients allocate 4% of their assets to Bitcoin.

This is not just a rumor or internal trial; it is a formal policy written into the client asset allocation model. For traditional financial institutions, what does this 4% figure mean? It is enough to reshape the entire investment portfolio’s return structure.

When banks start systematically teaching clients "how to allocate Bitcoin," the game has already changed. In the past, the question was "Should I buy Bitcoin?" now it’s "If I don’t allocate, will I be eliminated by the times?" The institutional recognition of this shift is so straightforward.

Many retail investors are still watching candlestick charts to predict next week’s trend, but what truly influences the long-term landscape are these invisible big trends — changes in regulatory attitudes, influxes of institutional funds, and the boundaries between traditional finance and the crypto world are dissolving.

By 2026, will Bitcoin become the starting point of a breakout? Looking at the strategic placements of those big funds can give us some clues. They have already cast their votes with real money.

The banking system configuration with a scale of 17 trillion yuan requires digging into the background; don't be fooled by surface-level articles. A 4% ratio may not seem significant, but combined with liquidity, it can indeed move the entire market. Historical data shows that institutional entry often precedes retail investors by half a beat. The real signals are in wallet address changes, not in press releases. Monitoring the recent movements of these institutional wallets is more effective than any analysis. It's too early to talk about 2026, but there's no doubt that big capital has already voted. The question is whether retail investors are entering at the right time.

Banks are starting to sell Bitcoin, retail investors are still hesitating whether to get on board. It's really a different era.

Wow, the giant with 17 trillion is taking action. This time really is different. Retail investors are still watching candlestick charts, while institutions have already been planning for 2026. Is the gap really that big? 4% may seem small, but this is the official declaration of commitment in traditional finance. The rules have indeed changed. If you don't qualify for Bitcoin, you have to be eliminated? That sounds a bit harsh, but it really hits home. Banks recommending Bitcoin allocation show that they understand everything. Large funds have already cast their votes.

1.7 trillion big companies have entered the market, retail investors are still hesitating whether to get on board... The game rules have really changed. --- Now institutions are being transparent, and some still dare to say that Bitcoin is a scam. --- A 4% allocation can change the fate of many people instantly. Thinking about it carefully, it's terrifying. --- Honestly, it should have been like this a long time ago. The walls between traditional finance and the crypto world will eventually collapse. --- It looks like I need to keep my mining rig running, or I really won't be able to keep up. --- Banks are starting to teach clients to buy BTC. How do those who have always opposed feel now? --- The starting point of the 2026 explosion? I believe so, but only if I survive until then without losing everything. --- Big money has already entered, and retail investors are still watching K-line charts... This gap really can't be fixed.
