Crypto Just Got Institutionalized - Quietly, Radically, and Irreversibly
Wall Street Just Unlocked the Floodgates. Crypto’s About to Go Fully Liquid.
Day 67 of 100 Days of TRUF
At 10:39 PM CEST on July 29, 2025, the U.S. SEC greenlit in-kind creations and redemptions for both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Most headlines missed it.
The markets didn’t price it in.
Take note, this is more tha another regulatory footnote.
This was the moment TradFi opened its gates to crypto - FULLY.
Wait - What’s “In-Kind”?
"In-kind" means institutions can now swap actual BTC or ETH in and out of ETF shares - instead of relying on cash settlements. This:
- Cuts fees.
- Reduces spreads.
- Enables real-time arbitrage.
- And, most critically, brings deep crypto liquidity to ETF rails.
This is how gold ETFs work. This is how oil ETFs work.
Now, this is how crypto ETFs work.
🧨 Four Reasons This Changes Everything
1. The Liquidity Lock Has Been Blown Off
Before this, ETF flows had friction.
Now? Institutions can pour in and out seamlessly using BTC and ETH directly. Expect a liquidity cascade - and a rising tide that lifts every tokenized asset.
Prediction markets? Index products?
They all feed off deep, low-latency markets.
TRUF.NETWORK exists to serve this new demand.
2. Tax Efficiency = Billions in Unlocked Capital
The old model triggered capital gains with every rebalance.
The in-kind model defers taxes, just like traditional ETFs.
This is huge for family offices, funds, and long-term allocators.
We’re talking billions in sidelined capital now greenlit to flow.
3. Institutions Can Now Actually Touch the Crypto
No more wrapped abstractions.
They can swap real ETH, real BTC.
They’ll need real prices, real volatility indices, and real-time verified data.
They’ll need TRUF.
4. The Final Legitimacy Unlock
This is structural alignment.
The biggest asset managers in the world can now treat crypto the same way they treat commodities, with ETF mechanisms that actually make sense.
Gold had its ETF moment in 2004.
Crypto just had its in 2025.
🧠 TRUF THOUGHT:
The markets will realize this too late.You don’t have to.
This change amplifies the need for a verified, real-time economic Source of Truth across every price feed, every index, every volatility signal. It sets the stage for a new class of financial products, built not on lagging reports or opaque oracles, but on live data verified by the network.
TRUF.NETWORK is the infrastructure beneath this next phase. Nuon. Index.fun. Truflation. All powered by it. All ready.
This is not a drill. This is the rails going live.
The age of Internet Capital Markets is here. Build what you want. TRUF will back you up.
