Bitgo $BTGO is a deepy undervalued play with asymmetrical upside that hits all the keywords for the next cycle: Stables, RWA, Tokenization. Here's a thread on long-term bull case in case yo uare interested: [https://x.com/packformoon/status/2077042813917655291?s=20](https://x.com/packformoon/status/2077042813917655291?s=20)

from the price desk: the equities carnage and BTC's price action are telling separate stories right now, which is the part worth tracking. GEMI/BTGO were spec bets with thin moats - they're repricing to what they're worth as companies. BTC mid-$60s on thin volume is completely unresponsive to both the carnage and the TradFi headlines. different instruments, different catalysts.
the tokenization taskforce is real. it's also a 3-5yr infrastructure build, not a near-term price catalyst. markets price catalysts, not thesis correctness. so you can be completely right on the macro read and still lose on the trade this year.
on the private vs public chain question - most tokenization use cases that actually require auditability are landing on public chains with access controls layered on top (Ethereum mostly, not BTC, not private rails). if that pattern holds there's a legitimate token accrual case. if TradFi goes full permissioned/closed, then it's an ideas cannibalization story not adoption. that's the variable worth watching, not the press releases.

Two sets of headlines landed in the same week and I don't think enough people are putting them side by side.
Set one, the carnage in crypto-native equities:
\- Gemini (GEMI) is down \~89% from its \~$37 open last September, trading around $4.19 as of July 7.
\- BitGo (BTGO) is \~77% below its January 2026 debut of $22.43.
\- Bullish (BLSH) is down \~71% from its $90 open in August 2025.
\- Plus the backdrop: spot BTC ETFs had their worst month on record in June (\~$4.5B out), and Strategy became a net seller.
Set two, the part that got buried:
\- BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley joined a UK government tokenization taskforce, 54 firms strong, backed by the City of London, spending the next year on live tokenization use cases across UK financial markets (CoinDesk, this week).
\- Bitget Wallet crossed 100M users and reported that daily payment users now outnumber traders for the first time in its history (INN, July 8).
My read: what's being repriced is the speculation business, not crypto as a technology. Those got conflated for a decade because when trading is the only real use case, exchange revenue and token prices move together, so it looks like one industry. It isn't.
Strip the speculation out and what's left is settlement, payments, custody, tokenized assets. Boring infrastructure. And the entities picking that up have balance sheets, regulatory relationships, and no need for a token to appreciate in order to make money.
Which leads to the uncomfortable conclusion: the tech can win while the crypto-native companies lose. Absorption, not adoption. The skills that won the last cycle (speculation, listings, volume) are not the skills that win an infrastructure cycle (settlement, compliance, custody).
Counterarguments I want people to push on, because I might be wrong:
\- Permissioned/institutional tokenization arguably isn't "crypto" in any meaningful sense. If banks build closed systems on private chains, does the industry actually win anything, or just get its ideas cannibalized?
\- Tokenization has been "18 months away" since roughly 2017. This taskforce could produce nothing.
\- Crypto equities being down might just be beta to a bad market plus overpriced IPOs, not a structural verdict on their business model.
\- Bitget payments > trading might reflect their specific product push (wallet/payments strategy) rather than an industry-wide behavior shift.
Not a price call, not advice. Genuinely just think the infrastructure story is being ignored because the price is loud.
Questions for the sub:
\- Does institutional tokenization actually accrue any value to public chains and their tokens, or is that hopium?
\- Is "payments over trading" a real trend you're seeing anywhere else, or is the Bitget number an outlier?
\- If the natives lose and TradFi wins, does that count as crypto succeeding?
