Former LD Capital Founder: Wall Street Will Eventually Take Over the Crypto Market, Treasury Model Is Just the Beginning

2025-12-09 01:18:14

Abstract generation in progress

[BlockBeats] Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) boss Yi Lihua recently shared a pretty interesting perspective.

He believes that the Wall Street crowd will definitely gain a firm foothold in crypto in the end. Taking Bitmine as an example, it’s currently going through a painful adjustment period, which is a bit like what happened with Strategy back in the day. However, he also mentioned that besides the treasury management playbook, there will definitely be new models emerging in the future, allowing crypto investments to truly integrate with traditional capital markets.

In short—traditional finance entering the space is an inevitable trend; it’s just that the paths will become increasingly diversified.

Going into Wall Street is more of a destiny than a trend... Another voice optimistic about traditional finance, but to be honest, it's really hard to resist. The treasury is just an appetizer; the real feast is just beginning. Elder Yi's rhetoric sounds reasonable, but I wonder how much retail investors can share the pie. Wall Street is here, and our game rules should be changed. Be prepared, everyone. The lesson from that Strategy event is still fresh in my mind. Are we going to do it all over again? Talking about diversification sounds nice, but essentially it's just capital harvesting, just under a different guise.

It's only a matter of time before Wall Street gets involved, anyway, after they finish squeezing retail investors, they'll come for us. But the Treasury's methods are indeed ruthless, and there are more tricks up their sleeve. Yili Hua's words sound like a hint at something, it feels like there's a lot more to come. If this trend continues, the real big show is just getting started.

From a technical perspective, can traditional financial models really be directly transplanted onto the blockchain? Data shows that institutional investors entering the market have indeed pushed up market capitalization, but the sustainability of this model is questionable. This viewpoint is interesting, but it still seems to overestimate Wall Street's intelligence. Last time they also claimed that blockchain couldn't really save anything. Wait, is he saying there will be other models in the future? So the current treasury model isn't the end at all, and this round is going to reshuffle the deck again. Honestly, there's a flaw in this logic. If there can really be "diversified paths," then that just proves that no single model can fully dominate, and instead capital will be spread across various types. So what exactly does Bitmine's "pain period" refer to? Comparisons without supporting data are actually pretty meaningless. I don't really agree with this argument. Historically, every time Wall Street has tried to monopolize, what happened? In the end, they always had to compromise with new players.

Wall Street getting involved is a sure thing—it’s just a matter of who can buy the bottom more aggressively. The traditional finance playbook will have to adapt to crypto sooner or later; treasury management is just the appetizer, there’s a lot more to come. Honestly, the maneuvering by Bitmine really does resemble the old tricks from back in the day, but this time the capital will be even more ruthless. Diversified paths? Wake up, in the end it’s still a game of scale. Retail investors shouldn’t expect to have any real advantage. What Yilihua said sounds nice, but the key is still who holds the pricing power. Capital entering the market is essentially just another way to fleece retail investors, only now it’s dressed up in a “compliance” outfit.

Wall Street wants a piece of the pie; it all comes down to who has the tougher tactics.

If Wall Street is really about to enter the market in full force, is there still a way out for retail investors?

Those Wall Street guys are bound to come in sooner or later, there's really no suspense about it. The real shake-up is just beginning; the treasury was just an appetizer. Bitmine's current situation—anyone in their shoes would have to tough it out. Let's see what tricks come next. Once one model is played out, the next one comes along—always just finding new excuses to fleece retail investors. It's not scary for traditional capital to come in; what's scary is if they come and we can't keep up. Forget it. No matter how nicely you put it, it doesn't change the reality that retail investors are always left holding the bag. This whole setup is just paving the way for Wall Street to enter legally. We need to think carefully about which side we're on. Diversification? It's just putting on a new disguise to keep harvesting—I've seen right through it.

Wall Street coming in was only a matter of time, but how long can this treasury game really last? --- Another "inevitable trend" argument, just sounds nice on the surface. --- The Bitmine mess isn’t even over yet, and people are already fantasizing about the next model. --- Diversification? Honestly, it’s just more and more ways to fleece retail investors. --- This logic feels a bit... recursive. Waiting to see what the next wave of "innovation" will be. --- Treasury is just the beginning? Oh man, crypto folks are really going to get "innovated" to death this time. --- If traditional finance comes in, what’s left for us to play with... --- Who’s actually making money here? Don’t these big shots know the answer themselves? --- They’re setting the stage for another entry again, I know this rhythm all too well.

Wall Street entering the market is already a sure thing; the only question is how they will profit from it.
