What does the U.S. Treasury Secretary really mean by the "biggest merger in history"? Scott Bessent's recent remarks about bridging Wall Street and Main Street suggest a major shift in how traditional finance and broader economic actors could align. For those tracking macro trends and policy direction, this kind of institutional language often signals where capital flows and market sentiment might head next. The integration of institutional players with retail markets—and the rhetoric around it—could have ripple effects across all asset classes, including crypto. Whether this represents a genuine structural shift or political messaging, it's worth understanding what top-level U.S. fiscal policymakers are signaling about the future of financial markets.

NGL, it's that same "big integration" rhetoric again. Can Wall Street and Main Street really come together? I think it's just telling stories to retail investors; the key still depends on how the funds flow.

Hey Bessent, this set of rhetoric... sounds like the prelude to selling retail investors out. Institutions and retail investors "merging"? Ha, basically just trying to siphon our money. No matter how nicely Wall Street folks phrase it, it's the same old story; the key is how crypto gets cut. If these policy signals are implemented, the arbitrage space between futures and spot markets might cause another round of shakeouts. Instead of listening to their stories, it's better to watch the capital flow... on-chain data is the real truth.

Wall Street and Main Street merging? Sounds like the usual rhetoric, ultimately benefiting the institutions while retail investors continue to get cut.

It's the same "big integration" rhetoric again... Just listen, the real game-changing factor depends on the flow of funds.

Wall Street and Main Street's "Great Merger"? Sounds like they're just fooling retail investors again. I've heard Bessent's rhetoric too many times. --- Talking about the integration of institutions and retail, isn't it just about moving liquidity from the crypto world into traditional finance? In the end, it's still the same game of harvesting. --- The real structural shift is still a no-go; this is all just political show, just blowing some wind. --- Wait, does this mean they're planning to incorporate crypto into the macro narrative? That would be really interesting... --- It's another FOMO-inducing rhythm, but we do need to pay attention to these top-level voices, after all, they can decide where the funds flow.

Once again, this so-called "historic merger" is getting tiresome. Can Wall Street and Main Street really merge? I think it's just a pie in the sky for retail investors. Let's wait and see.

NGL, this narrative of "Wall Street and Main Street merging" sounds like it's just setting the stage for big moves... Capital flows are definitely going to change.

Another set of "historic merger" rhetoric. I've heard this kind of spiel so many times that it's hard to tell what's true from what's false.

Listen, it's the same story of this "big merger" again. Honestly, it's just to make it easier to harvest retail investors like wheat.
