Why crypto will replace the stock market. Spoiler: it won't. The real story is how blockchain tech will fundamentally re-architect global finance, merging the best of both worlds. The global stock market is ~$133T. The entire crypto market? ~$3.8T. Stocks represent ownership in a business with intrinsic value. Most crypto value is driven by speculation. A direct replacement is a conceptual mismatch, right? Up to 46% of Millennials and 55% of Gen Z investors own crypto. Why? They're digital natives with a higher risk tolerance, FOMO, and distrust of traditional systems. But huge hurdles remain. "Huh?" The #1 barrier is the "Regulatory Gauntlet." Lack of clear rules handcuffs institutional adoption. Until there's a clear legal framework, crypto will remain on the institutional periphery. In crypto, there is no FDIC-like insurance for your assets. Hacks are common, and transactions are irreversible. If your funds are stolen, they're likely gone forever. Isn't this a massive risk for mainstream adoption?"So what's the real revolution? Not new assets, but a new tech "wrapper" for existing ones: tokenization. E.g. @maplefinance, @SolvProtocol, @pendle_fi (i.e. Boros), @ClearpoolFin, etc. I view this tweet as an alternative perspective on tokenization and believe that betting in protocols within this sector will pay off.
