I’ve always thought the problem with the financial system isn’t that it isn’t big enough, but that it’s too big and still running on outdated structures.
With more than $100 trillion in deposits, $27 trillion in agent bank prepayment funds, and tens of trillions of dollars in annual transaction volume.
With a system this massive, its coordination methods still often resemble patching up old machines.
Capital being locked up, delayed reconciliation, and multiple layers of intermediaries—these aren’t occasional issues, they’re system frictions.
So institutions are starting to focus on th

Institutional onboarding to the blockchain isn’t about the crypto industry trying to persuade Wall Street—it’s traditional finance itself pressing against the boundaries of the old system.
Think about today’s global financial system, with more than $100 trillion in deposits, $27 trillion in pre-funded funds, and processing hundreds of trillions of dollars in transactions every year.
The scale is astonishing, but the way it operates still bears traces of a bygone era.
Coordination across institutions is slow, reconciliation costs are high, large amounts of capital sit idle, and the settle

Many people don't realize that the biggest gap in DeFi may not be liquidity, but the depth of the interest rate market.
That's also why I've been repeatedly studying @TermMaxFi recently.
Because it's not just creating another lending product; it's addressing a more fundamental issue—how to make funds not just liquid but with a term structure.
This is very important; only with a term structure can there be a curve, and only with a curve can there be a true market.
This logic is rarely seriously promoted on-chain.
And it combines fixed interest rates, leverage efficiency, and term trad

I have an increasingly strong belief that the next round of revaluation will not only be of trading protocols but also of fixed income protocols.
Because institutions and large funds will not make long-term allocations based solely on sentiment.
That’s also why I pay attention to @TermMaxFi.
It’s not just a simple lending market, but rather turning on-chain interest rates into tradable, priceable, and plannable asset layers.
The FT mechanism is essentially close to zero-coupon bond logic, a design rarely seen in DeFi, and I especially like this aspect.
It’s not about chasing volatili
