Blockstream CEO Adam Back explains that pension funds, managed funds, and model portfolios represent Bitcoin's upcoming third wave of adoption, following individual users and exchange-traded funds.
Blockstream has opened a new office in Lugano, Switzerland, and launched a dedicated consulting division to help financial institutions integrate Bitcoin infrastructure, confidential settlement, and tokenized assets.
