And this might be a little controversial,\u201d said Turner. \u201cI think we\u2019ve seen Bitcoin on one side with flows into ETFs, and then we\u2019ve had little pockets \u2013 meme coins and things that have been interesting. But, you know, compared to where we were when we had DeFi summer in 2020, 2021, we really haven\u2019t seen that external capital pouring in. We haven\u2019t seen the level of interest from institutions and enterprises.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen I talk to other people in the industry, there\u2019s so much excitement for what\u2019s coming next. Across the board, not only US President Donald Trump himself, bu<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MessariCrypto\/status\/1912434278987604451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">t the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and all these regulatory industries are really embracing crypto.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe\u2019re probably looking at a muted Q2, but I\u2019m really excited for Q3 and Q4.

I think some of them may have had their strategic plans in place to offer crypto-related services but have been afraid that at some point they will be gone after by any of the US regulatory authorities, so they held back. But now I think there is no one to be afraid of anymore, in terms of regulatory authorities worldwide. So I think many of the large international banks will launch this year,\u201d explained Eichenberger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Explore:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/cardano-ceo-talks-about-bitcoin-potential-says-we-are-not-letting-go-of-wall-street-and-thats-a-shame\/\">Cardano CEO Talks About Bitcoin Potential, Says, \u201cWe Are Not Letting Go Of Wall Street, And That\u2019s A Shame\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>RWA \u2013 A Real Hot Narrative And Trend Of 2025?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Eichenberger weighed in on Real World Tokenization. \u201c<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you really want to unlock the potential of what the RWA tokenization can bring, then we need additional things on top of the mere fact that this asset now exists as a secured token, or as a fractionalized token,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talking about the need of the hour, Eichenberger said, \u201cWe need liquidity, we need transferability, we need to be able to use it as collateral in order to take leverage.
