Conclusion

From the radical strategy of transforming into a "Bitcoin treasury" to SharpLink Gaming's ambition to build an "ETH battleship," and the pioneers like Metaplanet and Valour packaging on-chain assets into compliant financial products—global listed companies are integrating crypto assets into their value engines at an unprecedented speed and innovative posture. This is no longer just a technological experiment but a profound revolution concerning balance sheet reconstruction and future valuation logic.

This bull market is far from a simple fluctuation in coin prices. Its deeper motivation comes from the traditional capital market's large-scale acceptance and re-evaluation of the narrative surrounding crypto assets. Identifying these "narrative valleys" could very well become the most alpha-generating investment direction this summer. The wave of integration between crypto assets and traditional equity is unstoppable; those who understand the rules of this "dual game" earlier will seize the opportunity in the tidal wave of value re-evaluation.
