What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Users and market participants would notice the discussion around private markets and restricted assets as a push toward wider access to pricing information. That affects how people think about opportunities that have been less visible or less reachable before, even if the assets themselves stay restricted for now. (per cryptobriefing.com)

In practice, the emphasis shifts from only trading around the clock to keeping control of funds and seeing more of what the system is doing. Self-custody and system visibility remain part of the same blockchain-based model that Yan described, so the practical difference is about control and transparency rather than a full change in what the platform is.
