The wallet ecosystem of some leading exchanges has gradually taken shape. Through value-added services at the wallet entry layer, they achieve differentiated product line operations—from Meme assets to VC fundraising coins to contract trading—forming a complete coverage of user needs. This approach is actually a classic path used by traditional internet giants: leveraging a super app as a traffic hub, then incubating or supporting multiple product lines, ultimately maximizing user stickiness through an ecological closed loop, thereby building a high competitive barrier. In the crypto space, wallets are evolving into such central hubs.

Oh no, it's the same old trick again. I saw through the wallet acting as a hub a long time ago.

Using the wallet as a hub is a brilliant move, but I'm just worried that a new wallet might come along and lure users away...

Bear markets reveal true colors. This ecosystem closed-loop is just trying to lock us, the retail investors, inside[微笑] Young people, don’t be fooled by this. I was once burned by a similar "complete ecosystem" in 2017... Wallet as a hub? That’s a nice thought, but when they run away, you won’t even get a notice before escaping. Basically, they just want the bag holders to stay, from memes to contracts, a full-service scam to harvest retail investors. These old foxes are learning the internet playbook. As retail investors, we better buckle up when we get on board.

Making the wallet the hub has long been overdue; bringing over the traditional internet approach works well. I'm just worried that exchanges will ultimately be greedy, wanting to do everything but end up not doing anything well.

Hmm... It's the same old trick again, just with a new name called wallet. --- Is an exchange building a wallet ecosystem? Honestly, it's still just trying to lock my money in tightly. --- A typical internet tactic moved onto the blockchain, but don't forget, this is crypto... the risks are much higher. --- From Meme to VC tokens to contracts, they really dare to pretend everything. --- No matter how high the barriers are built, they can't withstand a rug pull or regulatory crackdown. --- Having a flow hub sounds great, but do users really want to be "locked into an ecosystem"? --- Using a wallet as a hub is indeed clever, but I'm just worried that one day, if the keys are lost, everything is gone. --- Is this just copying the BAT model in crypto? It feels more and more like something I dislike.

With this wallet integration, it's actually copying BAT's approach. Now it's just a matter of seeing whose ecosystem can truly retain users with a complete closed loop.

The wallet ecosystem closed-loop strategy, to put it simply, is a land-grabbing move that keeps users tightly locked into its ecosystem. But then again, who wouldn't want to do the same?
