Traditional finance and crypto? The boundary's dissolving right before our eyes.



Eight years back, some firms made a bold call: every financial system would eventually migrate to blockchain infrastructure. Digital assets wouldn't remain this isolated category forever.

That prediction is maturing into reality. Major institutions are quietly testing the waters. Tokenization isn't some distant concept anymore — it's becoming operational architecture. The separation between "traditional" and "crypto" markets feels increasingly artificial.

We're watching infrastructure converge in real-time. What seemed radical in 2017 now reads like common sense.

I heard this back in 2017. So what happened? They’re still talking about integration, but the coins in my wallet have long been “integrated” into the exchanges, haha.

ngl, I've been saying for a while that traditional finance and on-chain finance would eventually merge. Now that institutions are just starting to take action, they're definitely late to the game.

Those people back in 2017 were right; they just didn't expect things to move this slowly. Institutions are only now starting to get serious—it really is a bit late.

I’ve said it before, boundaries are man-made to begin with. It’s a bit late to realize that now.

I've said it before, the wall between traditional finance and the crypto space will have to come down sooner or later.

The bold claims made eight years ago are actually coming true now... But with institutions doing things so quietly, could they still be secretly accumulating chips?

Nah, the people who made bets eight years ago turned out to be right. It doesn't seem so crazy now. Honestly, traditional finance has been secretly working on tokenization for a while—they just don't want to admit it. What was considered radical in 2017 has really become common sense now... the speed of change is pretty intense. All the big institutions are quietly testing things out; boundaries are just drawn by people anyway.

Nah, this is something that should have happened long ago. That rotten traditional financial system was bound to get crushed sooner or later.
