We delve in what this means and if it is going to evolve how some people are imaging.

This move could herald a new era for Bitcoin, aligning it closer to the operational dynamics of traditional financial markets.

This appears not good at first sight, but Demirors said, “Financialization is a beautiful thing. . ."

I think it is good for crypto as a whole, but bad from BTC. Crypto was created to be decentralized, so BTC becoming centralized defeats the original purpose. But I've always said that BTC's sacrifice might be necessary so that the other tokens can realize its purpose.
