Major consultancy firms are projecting Wall Street bonuses to hit a four-year peak this cycle. The traditional finance sector seems to be recovering momentum after years of belt-tightening. What's interesting here? When TradFi bonuses surge, we often see capital rotation patterns shift—some of that wealth historically finds its way into alternative assets. Not making predictions, just observing cycles. The talent war between legacy institutions and crypto-native firms could get spicier if this trend holds. Worth watching how compensation dynamics evolve as both worlds compete for the same skill sets.
