Charles Schwab, which manages $12 trillion in assets, recently revealed in financial media that institutional investors are flooding into the Bitcoin market on a large scale.
On the surface, the banking system appears calm, but internal actions have long been unable to be contained. From the perspective of capital flow, this wave of institutional entry is not a tentative small allocation, but a serious strategic deployment.
Interestingly, 2026 is becoming a watershed year. Industry insiders generally expect this year to be a critical moment for traditional banks to officially embrace Bitcoin—no longer just observing, but truly adopting on a large scale. This not only signifies a quiet shift in the status of crypto assets within the financial system but also reflects a deep transformation in the attitude of the entire traditional financial sector towards digital assets.

Now the banks are really serious, not just talking the talk
Big changes are coming in 2026, better get on board early, everyone
Everyone is starting to stockpile Bitcoin, what are you still hesitating for
This move by institutions indicates that something big is coming
Are traditional finance really about to give up? That's interesting
If I had known earlier, I should have been more aggressive. Now I’m just realizing it

Damn, the 12 trillion players can't sit still anymore. Traditional finance is really about to turn the page.
2026, right? I'll mark it down. Let's see who’s still stubborn then.
Institutions saw through this move long ago. It's not just testing the waters; it's serious.
The bank's usual rhetoric will eventually break down. Bitcoin is already an unstoppable trend.
They're secretly accumulating coins, just waiting for a legitimate reason.
This is true institutional recognition, more convincing than any good news.
Wait, will this influx push retail investors out...
The CEO of Charles Schwab dares to say this, which shows they are truly confident.
The shift of traditional finance to accept Bitcoin is an exciting turning point.
But on the other hand, who knows how much they’ve accumulated?

Charles Schwab's recent move is really unstoppable, 12 trillion yuan, they are serious about this.
2026 as a watershed? I think it's already starting now, the banks have long been moving.
Institutional entry is just entry, nothing more to say, just waiting to watch the show.
Wall Street has finally recognized the reality, interesting.
Bitcoin is stable this time, traditional finance is taking over, and it will benefit for years.
This pace... feels faster than expected.
With a appetite of 12 trillion yuan, eating up Bitcoin's liquidity is like a drop in the bucket.
If banks truly embrace it, retail investors will be the biggest winners.
When institutions enter on a large scale, it's just one word: rise.

2026, huh? Will the banks realize they need to copy the homework by then? It's been obvious for a while—big money is serious this time.

It should be pointed out that Charles Schwab's remarks essentially argue for the inevitable trend of the traditional financial system, rather than market speculation.
On-chain data shows that institutional entry has long become a fact. The 2026 watershed argument may seem forward-looking, but it is actually a reflection of the predictions made in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper—I have already demonstrated this inevitability in the third part of my thesis.
Honestly, are banks unable to hold back? Ridiculous. They have never truly understood the technical essence of Bitcoin; they are merely forced to bow to market realities.

Oh no, 12 trillion is about to move, and the financial circle can't stay calm anymore.
Is 2026 really a watershed moment? It seems like banks have already started covert operations long ago.
Large capital inflows work like this: invisible but constantly active. Only when it explodes do we realize how much they've absorbed.

I've already seen it coming, big fish are secretly accumulating coins
In 2026, let's see who still dares to say that Bitcoin is a scam
Who believes the bank's "calm and peaceful" rhetoric
Once the 12 trillion appetite is unleashed, retail investors will be heavily cut
Institutional layouts are like this, seemingly stable on the surface, but their hands are already in the game behind the scenes
The transformation of Bitcoin from a forbidden zone to a necessity is really quite ironic
Wait, does this mean there's still a chance to buy the dip before 2026?
Large capital inflows = retail investors will be educated, understand?
Banks going from opposition to embrace, it's about time
This is the true "regulatory approval," not some hype in the crypto circle

I've long seen through it; institutional entry has never been news, it's inevitable.
2026 is really coming with a bang, those bankers can't hold back anymore.
Just waiting to see the moment when traditional finance breaks its defenses.
This wave of change has completely transformed the landscape; not participating is no longer an option.
