Sophisticated investors generally do not want "decentralized and permissionless" assets. They want government and legal protections.
Maybe you thing they are wrong for wanting that, because maybe you think the government is a threat to their wealth, and that is fine to have that opinion but the market for "decentralized and permissionless" isn't very big, which is why you don't see much money going into crypto anymore.
