On May 9, StrikeCEO Jack Maller said in the WhatBitcoinDid podcast that Wall Street's large-scale participation in Bitcoin will not threaten its core principles. If Wall Street can "kill" Bitcoin, then Bitcoin itself will never have the potential to succeed. The essence of Bitcoin is "everyone's currency" and should be inclusive of everyone, including opponents and traditional institutions. Maller emphasized that Bitcoin is competing with global capital. Assets such as real estate, art, and government debt will be de-monetized, while Bitcoin will be monetized. The intervention of traditional financial institutions is an inevitable result of this process rather than a threat. Although Bitcoin ETFs have attracted tens of billions of dollars in capital inflows, and some Bitcoin supporters worry that centralized institutional control will affect Bitcoin development, this is a positive signal that Bitcoin is moving towards the mainstream.
