The relatively small net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs during the recent price downturn can be attributed to the efforts of Wall Street's sales force, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on a recent podcast. He explained, "There's an army of traditional Wall Street salespeople out there selling these BTC spot ETFs. That's why assets under management for these funds dropped by less than 10% even when BTC's price fell significantly." Balchunas suggested their pitch was likely along the lines of, "BTC is a pretty volatile asset, but don't try to trade it—just hold it, because fiat currency will continue to lose value." He added that BTC holders tend to exhibit "smart money" characteristics. "Gold spot ETFs also had a very successful start before experiencing a sharp decline, and the stock market was no different," Balchunas noted. "ETFs bring liquidity and provide the power to help the related asset eventually rise."

The global economy could transition to a blockchain-based tokenized system, Consensys founder Joseph Lubin said at the Consensys 2026 event. He stated that tokenization has moved beyond the experimental stage to become an inevitable trend, with Ethereum playing a central role. According to Lubin, technical maturity, including Layer 2 solutions, is attracting interest from regulators and traditional financial institutions. He added that transactions within the ecosystem consume ETH, which positively contributes to its value creation. As more economic activity moves on-chain, ETH could also acquire monetary characteristics, Lubin noted, dismissing recent turmoil like DeFi hacks as merely part of the disruption inherent in technological advancement.

The cryptocurrency market must strengthen its security and legal regulatory frameworks in the wake of recent DeFi hacking incidents, said Angus Fletcher, head of digital assets at U.S. asset management firm State Street.

"From an institutional perspective, interoperability between blockchains must be clearly defined, and we need to know how legal ownership and rights are established when tokens move between different chains," Fletcher explained. Other industry participants, including MORPHO, also cited enhanced security due diligence and resolving uncertainties in accounting regulations as key requirements for institutional entry.
