depends. It could ripple into the legacy financial system. If that happens, we could see some really onerous regulations that prevent innovation.

That's my worry about the integration of crypto into tradfi (via BTC ETFs, stablecoin savings accounts, &c). It's OK if crypto is a hellstorm of speculation because it rides on top of rapid experimentation. However, it's really not tolerable to have that much chaos actually affecting e.g. people's retirement funds. If crypto messes up main street then the regulatory hammer will be unfortunately well earned.
