On May 27, FTSE Russell announced:



Sharplink (holding 860k ETH, about $1.8 billion)

Forward Industries (holding $585 million in SOL)

They will be officially added to the Russell 2000 and 3000 indices on June 29.

This means: all ETFs, pension funds, and passive funds that track the indices must harden their resolve and buy these two stocks.

And when you buy stocks, you’re indirectly buying the ETH/SOL they hold.

Many people are celebrating wildly: “Institutions have finally come to offload the counterfeit trash!”

Take a closer look—

Just ahead of this, BTC’s ETFs and strategic reserves had already sealed the “digital gold” logic; right after that, Russell stuffed ETH/SOL treasury companies into the index.

So, is this “openness”?

Is this “compliance” chain of contagion:

BTC spot ETF → BTC strategic reserves → crypto companies included in Russell

Each step is replicating the logic of the previous one; each step is exhausting the same expectation:

“Where’s the next bigger fool?”

When “holding crypto assets” becomes the core business model of listed companies, stock prices no longer follow the business—they only follow FOMO.

Now, the stock prices of these two companies have already priced in the dream in advance: “being added to the index → capital inflows → stocks rally → the company can sell coins/earn income through staking.”

But after June 29 goes into effect, the passive funds that should buy have already bought—so who will take the next leg?

What’s even more outrageous is that the ETH and SOL they hold are real, tangible liquidity poison. The company can dump at any time; once it dumps, the stock price falls—but does the index still have to passively add? No—that’s an unintuitive trap.

Don’t misunderstand—I’m not saying ETH/SOL will go to zero.

I’m saying: when “being included in the index” becomes the biggest piece of good news, this sector no longer has any short-term expectations gap.

Institutions aren’t preaching—they’re laying the road.

Once the road is laid, the car (passive capital) will come, but the driver (early smart money) gets off before the car pulls into the station. #股票交易挑战最高赢17000U #美军打击伊朗 $BTC $ETH $SOL
