They're going to give new tools to institutional traders. Co-location, FIX market data, lending & margin financing products, professional crypto secure storage ('coinbase custody') etc. etc. They'll be faster than non-institutions and have trading options unavailable to the rest of us. Read this https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-institutional-deea317d23a... Right now, the institutions have to play on a level playing…

If you're the fastest and you don't make > $XXk a month then why would an institutional client pay $XXk per month for better access?

Hyperbitcoinization incoming! In all seriousness, the attention from institutions, growing maturity of custodial solutions and good monetary policy are colliding. Nocoiners, watch out!

Coming soon, CDOs (Coin-Debt-Obligations)!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s almost like capital tends to concentrate in the absence of regulated financial markets or something...

Yes, none of these things the OP described exist in the regulated markets such as equities, bonds, or futures.

You're talking past each other. Regulation is not a binary thing.

I don't have access to capital so I can't scale to $XXk a month.
