'Mainstream' as in a stronger argument for cryptocurrency regulations. We are only going to see more retail investors throwing in riskier investments with leverage and will end up bag-holding in another bust cycle.

Big hedge funds never do risky things and leave us holding the bag</sarcasm>

Translation:

Sure thing. I'm going to buy Coinbase stock with leverage on the day of its direct listing and hope that I will HODL it all the way to the moon. When it goes back down, it doesn't matter if I'm wiped out or a bag holder, I can still get a way with it via asking for a bailout just because a big hedge fund can do it. /s
