The head of a major global asset management firm recently raised an important point: capitalism itself is facing a credibility crisis. The public's faith in the system is eroding, and without meaningful adaptation, the entire framework risks becoming obsolete.
This isn't just rhetoric—it's a wake-up call about structural flaws in traditional finance. As wealth inequality grows wider and institutional failures accumulate, ordinary people are questioning whether the current system truly works for them.
What does evolution look like? Greater transparency. Real accountability. Systems that reward contribution rather than just concentration. These aren't radical demands—they're requirements for legitimacy.
Interestingly, this shift is already happening in crypto markets. Blockchain-based systems operate with built-in transparency and immutable records. No hidden dealings, no opacity. Whether you see crypto as the answer or just part of a broader solution, the underlying principle is clear: trust must be earned through design, not assumed through authority.
The traditional finance world is watching. And the question isn't whether change will come—it's whether institutions will lead it or resist it until forced.

Ultimately, centralized institutions just can't keep up anymore. That's why they're now thinking about transparency and accountability. Why didn't they do this earlier?

Traditional finance is retaking the exam, while blockchain has already submitted its paper.

In plain terms, traditional finance is just relying on old profits, but now it's being forced to change.
Crypto has been doing this for a while, with maximum transparency, while old institutions are still stubbornly holding on.

ngl that's why I went all in on the blockchain... Traditional finance should have gone bankrupt long ago.

NGL, traditional finance will have to change sooner or later. Blockchain has already started implementing transparency, so let's see who can still hide.

Basically, traditional finance can't go on anymore. It's about time to wake up.
