If you're still assuming nation-state adoption will only happen through Western institutions, you're looking in the wrong direction. Most retail traders end up missing massive macro shifts simply because they get trapped waiting for familiar names to move first, ignoring where the real liquidity pipelines are actually opening up.
Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, just announced plans to roll out $BTC trading to its entire customer base. We are talking about direct access for over 100,000,000 clients through one single banking network. That is not speculative hype; it is a massive structural distribution pipeline entering the digital asset space.
Some will argue this is purely a geopolitical workaround and won't drive real, organic spot demand compared to traditional ETF flows into $ETH or Bitcoin. But when a state-backed institution with nine-figure user counts builds native crypto rails, the sheer volume of everyday retail exposure completely outweighs the regulatory skepticism.
Where do you think this leaves Western retail banking over the next cycle?
