In the first half of this year, traditional asset management giants launched a trust product targeting the decentralized storage ecosystem, which is a significant move. Through this familiar investment tool, institutional investors can finally participate in the related ecosystem without directly managing on-chain assets, greatly lowering the participation threshold.

What does this reflect? In simple terms, it means that institutions are beginning to take the Web3 storage track seriously. The reason why Walrus can attract so much attention is its solid core competitiveness—RedStuff encoding technology's low-cost advantage makes storage more economical, and its deep integration with Sui ensures ecosystem synergy. The actual application scale already reaching PB levels proves that this is not just a castle in the air.

From the perspective of market liquidity, the launch of such products further broadens the funding channels, allowing more traditional capital to allocate related assets in a compliant manner. In the short term, it is a signal; in the long term, this could be a key milestone in the transition of decentralized storage from a niche track to mainstream recognition.

Haha, the institutions are finally not pretending anymore and are directly jumping on Web3 storage. Once this trust product is launched, it's definitely a signal that big capital is about to enter. Saying anything else is less satisfying than just taking action. Walrus indeed has some skills; with PB-level data volume right there, it's not just on paper. But honestly, familiar tools and routines are the key. Institutional bigwigs are into this, and with low barriers, they come rushing in. Decentralized storage has grown from rough and wild to being taken seriously, and that still depends on real money voting. This time, it's no longer just the crypto circle entertaining itself.

Haha, big institutions are finally dropping the pretense and directly entering Web3 storage. Damn, Walrus really has something here; the RedStuff encoding approach is indeed impressive. Wait, is this PB-level application scale real? Is there a source? Trust products bridging the gap—finally, a compliant solution is in place, paving the way for traditional capital to enter. Speaking of which, Sui's ecosystem strategy is well executed, deeply integrating with the storage sector. This is the real bullish signal, not those superficial concept hype.

Bitcoin can reach 69k, and the storage sector is really about to take off --- Institutions are all entering, which means this wave is not just hype, there are real demands --- The combination of Walrus and Sui is indeed powerful, it all depends on whether Sui can hold up --- Low threshold is great, finally no need to worry about wallet private keys and all that stuff --- It's quite aggressive, let's see if Walrus can really achieve high volume --- Compliance configuration? Now even grandma can speculate on storage --- PB-level application scale sounds impressive, but how many have actually been implemented? --- From niche to mainstream, Bitcoin has also gone through this process, time will tell --- I don't know much about the RedStuff encoding tech stack, but playing around with the Sui ecosystem like this is indeed clever --- Once trust products are launched, the era of retail following the trend will arrive, those who get in early will laugh to the bank

The signals for institutional entry are so obvious, Walrus really timed this move perfectly. Traditional finance is starting to seriously engage with Web3 storage, which indicates... big money is coming. RedStuff's coding skills are indeed impressive; their low-cost approach hits the mark precisely. Applications at the PB level are already emerging. And some still say this is just hype? Wake up, everyone. Once trust products launch, retail investors will follow soon... Bitcoin is on its way. Walrus's integration with the Sui ecosystem is truly excellent; this is the right way to open up. Moving from niche to mainstream is just one step away; what’s meant to come will come. The window for compliant configurations has opened, and I totally understand the FOMO mentality of institutions. The storage sector suddenly heats up, but this time it doesn’t feel like a false fire—there are real applications supporting the foundation. What does improved liquidity mean? It suggests that things could get even more interesting next.

Hmm... Institutional trust products sound good in theory, but how many can actually be implemented? Traditional capital firms love this approach, as someone is always doing the homework for them. After Walrus gained popularity, these types of projects are thoroughly examined; piling up concepts doesn't mean they have practical applications. However, it must be acknowledged that the PB-level scale indicates that someone is actually using it, which is worth paying attention to. Has the storage sector finally turned the corner? It feels like after all this talk, it's still just a small circle speculating.

Institutional entry has really arrived, but speaking of which, what makes Walrus so eye-catching? RedStuff encoding? Sounds pretty impressive. PB-level application scale definitely doesn't lie, and now traditional capital has a legitimate reason to come in and play. Wait, is this really a turning point or just another round of stories? Trust products are indeed a clever move, directly bypassing retail investors' on-chain fear. I'm curious to see how far the Sui ecosystem collaboration can go.

Ha, the traditional giants have finally entered the scene, and the storage track is really about to take off. The big institutional players are here, and it's a whole different level—lowering the barriers so that we retail investors can also join in and reap the benefits. The combination of RedStuff coding + Sui ecosystem is indeed powerful, but it still depends on whether Walrus can maintain stability in the long run. The move to trust products is a clever strategy; compliant asset allocation provides a reassuring boost to traditional capital. Honestly, is the data showing PB-level application scale a bit exaggerated? Let's wait and see how it performs in the future. Moving from niche to mainstream, this timing is just right—just worried that the hype might come quickly and fade just as fast. Traditional asset management firms are getting involved, and it feels like Web3 storage is moving from the periphery to the center stage. But we need to be cautious—institutional entry often signals the beginning of a harvest, so watch out for getting caught. Is this truly a perfect combination of friendly policies, mature technology, and capital support? Whether Walrus becomes popular still depends on ecosystem development; having technical advantages alone is not enough. Participating in a compliant way means we finally don't have to worry about wallet security issues—this is a real upgrade.

Institutional entry is like this, gradually encroaching on niche tracks, and Walrus is indeed steady this time. What does it mean when traditional giants develop trust products? It indicates compliance wrapping, only then are capitalists at ease. RedStuff encoding is really powerful, dominating in terms of cost advantage. The Sui ecosystem card played so well, ecosystem collaboration amplifies its power. Wait, are PB-level application scales real? Feels like the numbers are a bit exaggerated. From a liquidity perspective, as always, money needs to flow in for the ecosystem to survive. Could this be the critical point for the storage track, either breaking out or cooling off. Once trust products are launched, institutions flock in, and small investors are about to be harvested again. Basically, it's driven by profit effects; without profits, no one cares about your Web3 storage. No hype, no blackening, this is indeed a signal, just see if the subsequent ecosystem can keep up.

Institutional entry is like this; it has to be packaged in a way that makes traditional capital comfortable. Walrus this time really has something, with RedStuff encoding + Sui ecosystem, the technical foundation is not just talk. Now I finally understand why storage ecosystems have been so popular in the past two years; it turns out everyone has been waiting for this moment. But to be fair, no matter how well trust products are packaged, the fundamentals matter. PB-level application scale is the real deal. Institutional optimism is a weather vane; although I’m still hesitating whether to jump on board haha.
