Institutional demand and awareness of crypto assets have significantly increased following the introduction of the "Genius Act"

Jinse Finance reported that at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, Stephen Mackintosh and Evan Cheng stated that after the introduction of the "Genius Act," institutional demand and awareness of crypto assets have significantly increased, making 2025 a milestone year for institutional adoption. The two pointed out that the inflow of funds into spot bitcoin ETFs, the growth of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) tools, and the entry of institutions such as Citadel and Jane Street all indicate that traditional finance is accelerating its deployment. In the future, asset tokenization and T+0 instant settlement may drive the integration of TradFi and DeFi.
