Social media giants are about to launch crypto wallets, which could put some pressure on existing wallet players.

Thinking about it, it's quite interesting. This platform itself is the most active discussion hub in the crypto world, with astonishing daily traffic. Once they integrate wallet functionality, users' transaction paths will become super simple—chat, communicate, trade—all in one go.

What does this dimensionality reduction mean for traditional wallet products? First, it means a redistribution of user traffic. Second, it significantly lowers the barrier to use. Novices still learning about private keys and seed phrases might start their crypto journey directly on this platform.

If this move really unfolds, it could indeed bring a wave of new users to the entire crypto space. An expanding user base, increased market activity, and a thriving ecosystem—this is beneficial for the entire industry.

Wow, if this really spreads out, traditional wallets will be in trouble. Oh my god, one-click trading is really a killer move. Beginners don't need to bother with private keys at all. Isn't this just a big move? Concentrating traffic here, what are other wallets playing at? Honestly, if retail investors can get on board so easily, can the market hold up... I'm a bit worried but also a bit hopeful. A thriving ecosystem is a good thing, but it also means a reshuffle.

It should have been like this a long time ago. Traffic is king. Traditional wallets are really panicking this time. Trading directly in chat? Oh my, this is what Web3 should look like. But this thing also needs to withstand blackmail... Is it secure and solid? Newbie retail investors are increasing. Whether it's good news or bad news depends on which side you're on, haha. Now the wallets of exchanges will also be impacted, the times are changing, old buddy. Buy coins with one click without watching tutorials? Next month's news headline will be "Auntie buys Bitcoin on XXX." It's like the Alipay of the crypto world, here it comes.

Here we go again with the same rhetoric of dimensionality reduction... It's not wrong to say that, but the question is, who will truly benefit from the traffic dividends? Looking at historical data, during the 2017 exchange wallet consolidation, activity indeed increased, but in the end? It was just the Matthew effect. I'm cautious about this wave of new user growth; a risk warning—when giants enter the market, regulatory pressure often follows. At that time, those newbies who jump on the bandwagon directly with a "one-stop" approach are actually the most vulnerable to being exploited. Be prepared when doing T, everyone. According to my quantitative model predictions, in the short term, we will indeed see a technical rebound in market activity, but that doesn't mean long-term positive prospects. Don't be fooled by a single variable; you need to consider this issue from the macro market cycle perspective. Honestly, I want to see how they handle security certification... that’s the real test point for bottoming out. Wait a minute, could this be another necessary step before the chives are harvested again? Reminds me of 2021... Never mind, let's just see how the technicals develop.

Oh no, traditional wallet players are probably trembling now. Data shows that a 5% increase in traffic concentration can rewrite the entire industry landscape. Novice users no longer have to suffer from private key issues; they can directly start trading. This is indeed a long-term positive signal for industry expansion. That said, lowering the threshold is a double-edged sword. Whether the influx of retail investors can keep up with risk alerts is a concern. 熊熊 thinks that if this wave really unfolds, we need to see how the retention rate of new users actually looks. After all, it's easy to enter but hard to hold positions. Old wallet users, don't panic too much. If security isn't well managed, users will still leave. This competitive point might still be salvageable.

Oh no, traditional wallets are really panicking now. But on the other hand, if they really integrate, the barrier to entry is indeed much lower... Newcomers will enjoy it, but who will take responsibility if this thing runs away? Anyway, I'm just watching. Big platforms mean more targets... What about you?
