#机构采用加密货币 Interactive Brokers opens stablecoin deposits, now the wealthy in the crypto circle are a bit happier. The previous process was really complicated—withdraw funds from the exchange to the bank, then transfer from the bank to the broker, with multiple layers of fees along the way. Now, depositing directly with stablecoins reduces many intermediate steps.

The data is indeed eye-catching: the supply of stablecoins has skyrocketed from $130 billion at the beginning of the year to $310 billion, a 140% increase, indicating significant growth. Some say this is a sign of the "super cycle" of stablecoins, signaling traditional financial institutions embracing crypto.

However, to be honest, I agree with that DeFi farmer’s complaint—this operation essentially aims to funnel stablecoins from crypto users and then rotate investments using those junk coins. It sounds noble, but it’s really just a different way to siphon money. Institutional entry looks tempting, but don’t get cut too deeply; it’s wise to stay cautious.
