"After doing on-chain analysis for a long time, I’ve developed a habit: instead of listening to stories, I trust real behavioral data.
So, when I saw bStocks hit $30 billion in cumulative trading volume in less than 3 months, my first thought wasn’t about the $30 billion itself, but rather: how did it grow to $30 billion so quickly?
That $30 billion is cumulative trading volume—it’s not inflow capital, nor is it performance returns. But it represents a significant scale of trading activity that has already occurred.
To me, this is a validation of demand.
For decades, the traditional stock market has operated on one assumption: trading hours are determined by the exchange. But in the crypto market, a generation of users has grown up with the default expectation of 24/7 trading—*I* decide when to trade.
In the past, it was easy to see this difference as a natural boundary between the two markets.
But bStocks has proven with real-world results that when traditional assets enter a 24/7 trading environment, this demand not only exists but is far from niche.
So, rather than saying the $30 billion proves how successful a product is, it’s more accurate to say it validates that users aren’t necessarily attached to traditional trading methods.
What they truly want is more choice and fewer restrictions.
For those who come after, there’s no need to question whether the demand exists. The real question is: who can align with users’ habits and let that demand flow more naturally?"
