Crypto rails institutionalization

quiet/contested BTBT
Core thesis
The crypto cluster divides between institutional rails, ETFs and tokenization winners versus capital-stack stress in Bitcoin treasury vehicles. SOL, LINK, COIN, HOOD and UNI benefit from product velocity and RWA/tokenization adoption, while BTC, MSTR and related preferred structures expose funding reflexivity risk.
Cracks — what would invalidate
The cluster breaks if ETF flows reverse, tokenized-equity activity proves promotional, or BTC treasury capital structures show forced dilution or asset-sale risk.
