One of the world's largest banking institutions just officially announced that it's now accepting Bitcoin as collateral. This move marks a significant shift in how traditional finance views digital assets. When major financial players begin integrating crypto into their core operations—especially for something as fundamental as collateral acceptance—it signals growing institutional confidence in the asset class. The implications here go beyond just Bitcoin; it reflects an evolving relationship between traditional banking and the broader crypto ecosystem. This kind of mainstream adoption could accelerate the path toward deeper integration between centralized finance and decentralized markets.

Um... major institutions have started accepting Bitcoin as collateral, it seems TradFi is really starting to bow down now.
