Opera's heavy investment in CELO is the strongest evidence that Wall Street considers stablecoin public chains a strategic necessity. This is no longer retail-level speculation, but an institutional-level strategic deployment. The core logic is clear: digital commodities are no longer speculative hype, but have become the foundation of assets with verifiable ownership, transferability, and the ability to generate real returns. Opera's exchange of 160 million CELO for cash essentially locks its revenue structure, company interests, and ecosystem growth into the Celo public chain system, making the listed company itself a "stakeholder on the chain." This is the true era of digital commodities: public chains are not tokens, but commercial infrastructure. Stablecoins are not tools, but the underlying liquidity for global payments. Institutional entry is not short-term speculation, but anchoring its core business, revenue, and future growth to this public chain. AVAX, DOT, and APT are Wall Street's top choices precisely because they possess this "commercial infrastructure" attribute. AVAX offers institutional-grade security and ultra-low gas for global stablecoins; DOT supports global assets with its cross-chain architecture; and APT provides high performance for compliant, high-frequency trading scenarios. Opera's significant investment in Celo is a testament to institutional recognition for the entire sector. The real opportunity lies in following the trend and aligning with institutional strategies, rather than chasing highs and lows based on emotions.

Currently, Bitcoin's total market capitalization is approaching $1.5 trillion, accounting for approximately 60% of the crypto market. However, a counterintuitive fact is that less than 0.37% of this is actually circulating in DeFi. This means that the vast majority of BTC remains idle for extended periods. In the past, we've tried to release liquidity through wBTC or various encapsulated assets, but we've always faced a fatal flaw: the crisis of trust in centralized entities. Whether handing over private keys to custodians or relying on cross-chain bridges, it's essentially trading asset security for meager gains. Hashi, launched by @SuiNetwork, is not just another DeFi lending product targeting end-users, nor is it a traditional cross-chain bridge. Its core logic is to build a native BTC collateral infrastructure. If we compare the on-chain DeFi world to a building, with various lending protocols as rooms and users as guests, then Hashi plays the role of the foundation and load-bearing walls. At the underlying protocol level, it enables native Bitcoin to function directly as a "credit asset" within Layer 1 smart contracts for the first time. The fundamental difference between Hashi and wBTC or cbBTC lies in its 100% native nature. Firstly, it's unencapsulated. Your Bitcoin remains on the Bitcoin network and doesn't need to be converted into any synthetic token. Secondly, it's non-custodial. It completely abandons centralized custody models like Celsius, which led to major collapses. Through Hashi, the core trust model is strictly reduced to only two points: 1. Consensus from the Sui validator node set. 2. Smart contracts managing the staking logic. This institutional-grade consensus has been endorsed by multiple leading custodians and infrastructure providers, elevating security to the level of native assets. For large holders, Hashi offers a logically compelling use case: monetization without selling. Through Hashi, users can directly stake native Bitcoin on the Sui chain and borrow stablecoins. This operation is financially similar to traditional real estate mortgage loans: Reduced tax exposure: The entire process does not involve asset sales, therefore it typically does not trigger taxable events. Efficient credit expansion: Users gain liquidity available for on-chain investment while maintaining long-term BTC positions.
