Large wealth management platforms will launch stablecoin trading on January 22nd. What does this mean for the crypto market?

A traditional broker with 2.6 million users and over $770 billion in assets under management is about to support stablecoin deposits. Users can directly use stablecoins to complete stock and options trading — this marks the true collapse of the barriers between traditional finance and crypto assets.

The data is even more convincing: a major payments giant's stablecoin product has already grown to $3.8 billion in scale, and this growth has occurred entirely without relying on incentives or airdrops. Users' voluntary choices say everything.

When traditional brokers become gateways to crypto, trading methods will be redefined. No more switching accounts between two worlds, no more cumbersome cross-chain bridging — stablecoins become the lubricant connecting the two financial systems. This is not just a feature upgrade, but an evolution of the entire financial infrastructure.
