On February 13, it was reported that the global financial system is undergoing a profound restructuring. Digital assets, once considered a "parallel world" to traditional finance (TradFi), have now formed a tightly connected trading network. Cryptocurrencies, born 16 years ago, have evolved from fringe experiments into a vital part of the mainstream capital system and are changing the way funds flow across markets. The core driver of this trend is the rise of new-generation integrated trading platforms. They break down long-standing asset barriers, enabling more efficient switching between cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, and commodities. Through native digital settlement mechanisms, real-time confirmation, and lower cost structures, investors can achieve multi-asset allocation within the same ecosystem, avoiding frequent transfers of funds between traditional banks and brokerage systems.
