Konferensi industri Web3 terbesar di Asia, WebX, baru saja berakhir di Tokyo. Perdana Menteri Jepang Takaichi Sanae dalam pidato video sambutannya, menyatakan harapan agar sinergi antara konferensi Web3 dan kebijakan pemerintah dapat lebih mendorong perkembangan ekosistem inovasi Jepang.

Suasana ramai di lokasi dengan keramaian pasar kripto yang sepi membentuk kontras yang jelas, bahkan banyak peserta yang bercanda merasakan "keindahan era naiknya kripto" di tempat tersebut.

Konferensi ini, sebagai bagian dari peta bisnis yang terus diperluas oleh grup keuangan Jepang SBI Holdings, juga membuat "sesepuh" yang aktif di pasar kripto ini tampil "mendominasi" di tempat tersebut. SBI tidak hanya menjadi sponsor utama, tetapi Ketua Grup Yoshitaka Kitao juga tampil memberikan pidato utama. Baru pada Oktober lalu, SBI mengakuisisi 51% saham media kripto Jepang CoinPost, penyelenggara WebX, dan memasukkannya ke dalam grup.

Perubahan ini punya korelasi dengan serangkaian aksi padat SBI di bidang aset digital belakangan ini. Dalam lebih dari sebulan terakhir, SBI Holdings secara berturut-turut berpartisipasi dalam pendanaan protokol pinjaman terdesentralisasi Morpho senilai $175 juta, meluncurkan stablecoin yen JPYSC, dan meluncurkan stablecoin dolar RLUSD yang diterbitkan Ripple di Jepang.

Memasuki bulan Juli, mereka kembali menginvestasikan $125 juta ke platform manajemen risiko dan strategi hasil DeFi Gauntlet, dan selama berlangsungnya WebX, membangun kerja sama strategis dengan Solana Foundation, berencana memperluas bisnis di sekitar stablecoin, RWA, penyelesaian lintas batas, dan layanan keuangan berbasis rantai untuk institusi.

Dibandingkan dengan tata letak luas di masa lalu yang berpusat pada Ripple, bursa, pembuatan pasar, dan sekuritas digital, fokus strategis SBI belakangan ini lebih terkonsentrasi. Grup keuangan tradisional yang telah berdiri selama 27 tahun ini sedang mencoba merombak penyelesaian, penerbitan aset, perdagangan, kredit, dan manajemen aset dari keuangan tradisional ke dalam rantai.

Dari Tata Letak Tersebar ke Keuangan Berbasis Rantai: SBI Mengintegrasikan Bisnis Aset Digital

SBI telah masuk ke industri kripto selama sepuluh tahun. Investasi awal di Ripple, partisipasi di perusahaan blockchain perusahaan R3, dan pendirian bisnis perdagangan kripto, likuiditas institusional, serta sekuritas digital secara bertahap, membuatnya menjadi salah satu grup keuangan tradisional Jepang yang lebih awal dan luas cakupannya dalam menata aset digital.

Namun, bisnis awal relatif tersebar. SBI VC Trade menangani perdagangan dan penitipan aset kripto, B2C2 menyediakan likuiditas untuk institusi global, sementara bisnis sekuritas digital mengeksplorasi tokenisasi obligasi, dana, dan aset riil lainnya. Hingga dua tahun terakhir, "keuangan berbasis rantai" mulai menjadi kerangka baru yang menghubungkan berbagai bisnis ini.

Dalam materi strategis yang dirilis Mei 2026, SBI membagi keuangan berbasis rantai menjadi enam lapisan: penyelesaian, aset, pasar, vault hasil, distribusi, dan investor, serta mengusulkan pembangunan "Platform Manajemen Aset Berbasis Rantai SBI".

Menurut rencananya, JPYSC, USDC, dan RLUSD bertanggung jawab atas penyelesaian dan transfer dana, blockchain dan platform RWA menangani penerbitan dan perdagangan aset, DeFi meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan dana, sementara manajemen aset internal grup, sekuritas, dan bisnis aset digital bertanggung jawab atas desain produk dan jangkauan pelanggan.

Dari investasi terbaru, SBI sedang menata letak sesuai dengan struktur dan lapisan ini secara ketat. Dalam materi strategisnya sendiri, SBI menempatkan blockchain berbasis keuangan Arc milik Circle di "lapisan penyelesaian", Morpho di "lapisan pasar", dan Gauntlet di "lapisan vault hasil".

Klasifikasi ini juga mengungkapkan pola pikir investasi SBI—melengkapi kemampuan dasar yang kurang dalam sistem keuangan berbasis rantainya.

Stablecoin sebagai Pelopor, Membangun Jaringan Penyelesaian Yen dan Dolar

Dalam kerangka keuangan berbasis rantai SBI, stablecoin adalah bagian pertama yang memasuki operasi aktual.

Pada 24 Juni, JPYSC yang dikembangkan bersama oleh SBI dan Startale resmi diluncurkan. JPYSC diterbitkan oleh SBI Shinsei Trust Bank, diedarkan oleh SBI VC Trade, dengan Startale sebagai pengembang teknologi utama. Sebagai stablecoin yen pertama di Jepang yang menggunakan struktur trust, JPYSC dirancang sesuai dengan "Alat Pembayaran Elektronik No. 3" dalam Undang-Undang Penyelesaian Dana Jepang, aset cadangan dikelola oleh bank trust, dengan 1 JPYSC setara dengan 1 yen.

Satu perbedaan penting yang dibawa struktur trust adalah JPYSC tidak terikat oleh batasan transfer dan kepemilikan sebesar 1 juta yen yang dihadapi stablecoin "tipe transfer dana sebagian" dan "tipe penerbitan luar negeri". Secara teori, ini membuatnya lebih cocok untuk alokasi dana perusahaan, penyelesaian besar-besaran, perdagangan RWA, dan pembayaran lintas batas.

Namun, JPYSC saat ini masih jauh dari sirkulasi terbuka di rantai. Pada tahap ini, produk hanya tersedia terlebih dahulu di dalam akun SBI VC Trade, pengguna tidak dapat mentransfer atau menarik JPYSC ke dompet eksternal. SBI menyatakan bahwa setelah interpretasi hukum terkait, praktik perpajakan, dan pengaturan operasional semakin jelas, baru akan beralih ke sirkulasi di blockchain publik.

Sementara transfer eksternal belum dibuka, SBI telah mulai memperluas skenario penggunaan JPYSC di dalam platform. SBI VC Trade mengumumkan pembukaan aplikasi layanan peminjaman JPYSC pada 16 Juli, dan secara resmi diluncurkan pada 23 Juli. Pengguna dapat meminjamkan JPYSC yang dimiliki ke platform, dan setelah jatuh tempo, mendapatkan hasil yang dibayarkan dalam JPYSC; tingkat hasil tahunan awal adalah 3%, dengan perkiraan hasil tahunan reguler dipertahankan sekitar 1% hingga 3%.

Di luar stablecoin yen, stablecoin dolar menyediakan kemampuan koneksi di ujung lainnya.

Pada Maret 2025, SBI VC Trade menjadi platform pertama di Jepang yang menyediakan layanan perdagangan USDC untuk pengguna biasa. Sejak itu, kerja sama SBI dengan Circle telah meluas dari stablecoin ke tingkat modal dan bisnis.

Pada Maret 2025, kedua belah pihak menandatangani perjanjian mendirikan perusahaan patungan Circle SBI Japan, dengan SBI dan Circle masing-masing memegang 50% saham, terutama bertanggung jawab mendorong sirkulasi USDC di Jepang dan memperluas aplikasi pembayaran dan keuangan lainnya. Pada Juni tahun yang sama, ketika Circle melantai di Bursa Efek New York, grup SBI membeli saham Circle senilai $50 juta sebagai investor strategis.

Pada Maret 2026, SBI VC Trade meluncurkan layanan peminjaman USDC, memperluas aplikasi stablecoin dari perdagangan dan pembayaran ke produk hasil.

Selain USDC, SBI VC Trade pada Juni 2026 lebih lanjut meluncurkan RLUSD. RLUSD diterbitkan oleh perusahaan trust teregulasi di bawah Ripple, ditangani oleh SBI sesuai dengan "Alat Pembayaran Elektronik No. 4" pertama di Jepang. Hingga saat ini, platform aset digital berlisensi SBI telah mencakup JPYSC, USDC, dan RLUSD secara bersamaan, membentuk struktur produk stablecoin yen dan dolar yang berjalan paralel.

Tiga stablecoin ini tidak memainkan peran yang sepenuhnya sama. JPYSC bertanggung jawab menghubungkan dana bank domestik Jepang dan aset yen; USDC memiliki likuiditas berbasis rantai global yang lebih luas; RLUSD melanjutkan kerja sama SBI dengan Ripple selama satu dekade, dan ditujukan untuk skenario pembayaran institusional dan keuangan lintas batas.

SBI juga berharap dapat lebih mendorong penyelesaian antar mata uang antara JPYSC dan stablecoin dolar, serta mengeksplorasi aplikasi stablecoin dalam kliring kartu bank, pembayaran lintas batas, dan penyerahan aset tokenisasi. Grup ini telah menjalin kerja sama keuangan digital dengan Visa dan menguji pembayaran offline USDC.

Membawa Aset Tradisional ke Rantai, Menghubungkan Pasar Global

Stablecoin menyelesaikan bagaimana dana masuk ke rantai, langkah selanjutnya adalah membawa aset keuangan yang dapat diinvestasikan ke rantai.

Dalam hal ini, Startale sedang menjadi mitra teknologi penting SBI. Pada Maret tahun ini, SBI mengumumkan investasi sekitar $50 juta ke Startale, dan berencana memasukkannya ke dalam perusahaan afiliasi metode ekuitas. Saat ini, kedua belah pihak bersama-sama mempromosikan dua produk inti: stablecoin yen JPYSC, dan jaringan Layer 1 Strium yang ditujukan untuk perdagangan sekuritas tokenisasi dan RWA.

Proyek Strium diumumkan secara resmi pada Februari tahun ini, jaringan ini berencana mendukung perdagangan spot dan derivatif sepanjang waktu untuk produk terkait saham tokenisasi, obligasi, dan RWA, serta mencoba membangun pasar berbasis rantai yang tidak terikat oleh jam perdagangan tradisional. Saat ini, Strium masih dalam tahap proof-of-concept, waktu testnet dan penyebaran komersial belum ditentukan secara resmi.

SBI juga mendirikan perusahaan patungan dengan platform RWA berlisensi Singapura DigiFT, SBI Onchain, dengan SBI memegang 60% saham. Platform ini berencana membangun kerangka kerja tokenisasi, hukum, dan manajemen risiko di sekitar aset Jepang, serta menghubungkan modal berbasis rantai dari luar negeri. Visi jangka panjang SBI adalah mengubah sekuritas internal grup, dana, dan produk keuangan lainnya menjadi aset berbasis rantai, kemudian menyelesaikan perdagangan dan penyelesaiannya dengan stablecoin.

Kerja sama SBI dengan Solana pada 13 Juli semakin melengkapi kerangka kerja ini. Menurut rencana, Solana Foundation akan berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan selanjutnya SBI R3 Japan, yang rencananya berganti nama menjadi "SBI Solana Global", dan mengembangkan bisnis di sekitar stablecoin seperti JPYSC, RWA seperti obligasi korporasi dan commercial paper, penyelesaian lintas batas, layanan keuangan berbasis rantai untuk institusi, serta pembayaran agen AI.

Kerja sama ini juga mencerminkan bahwa SBI sedang memperkuat jalur multi-rantai. Grup ini masih mengembangkan Strium bersama Startale untuk aset keuangan tokenisasi, sambil mempertahankan tata letak di XRPL, Canton, dan Ethereum; Solana menyediakan rantai publik berkinerja tinggi dan pintu masuk likuiditas global. Pembagian kerja di antara jaringan yang berbeda di masa depan belum sepenuhnya diungkapkan, namun SBI telah menyatakan dengan jelas tidak ingin mengikat produk keuangan dan pelanggan pada satu rantai tunggal.

Dari Morpho ke Gauntlet, Melengkapi Kredit dan Manajemen Aset Berbasis Rantai

Jika stablecoin dan RWA terutama menyelesaikan "bagaimana dana dan aset masuk ke rantai", Morpho dan Gauntlet menjawab pertanyaan: setelah dana masuk ke rantai, bagaimana menyelesaikan pinjaman, alokasi, dan memperoleh hasil.

Pada Juni, SBI berpartisipasi dalam putaran pendanaan baru Morpho senilai $175 juta. Putaran ini dipimpin bersama oleh Paradigm, a16z crypto, dan Ribbit Capital. Dibandingkan dengan model peminjaman DeFi awal di mana protokol menetapkan parameter aset dan risiko secara seragam, Morpho menggunakan arsitektur modular, memungkinkan institusi dan pengembang membangun pasar peminjaman yang terisolasi satu sama lain, dan memilih jaminan, kondisi risiko, serta strategi hasil mereka sendiri.

SBI dalam materi strategis resminya mengklasifikasikannya ke dalam "lapisan pasar" keuangan berbasis rantai, yang dihargai adalah infrastruktur kredit yang dapat disematkan ke dalam produk perbankan, platform fintech, dan manajemen aset.

Pada Juli, SBI melalui anak perusahaannya di AS memimpin putaran pendanaan Seri C Gauntlet senilai $125 juta. Gauntlet dikenal awal dengan model risiko DeFi, pernah menyediakan layanan parameter pasar, risiko likuidasi, dan uji stres untuk berbagai protokol pinjaman. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, mereka secara bertahap beralih ke manajemen vault hasil, merancang strategi alokasi berbasis rantai berdasarkan aset, target hasil, dan preferensi risiko.

Morpho dan Gauntlet memiliki komplementaritas yang kuat dalam bisnis. Morpho menyediakan jaringan kredit dasar yang dapat membangun pasar peminjaman, sementara Gauntlet mengevaluasi risiko, merancang vault, dan mengalokasikan dana di atas pasar-pasar tersebut. Yang pertama lebih dekat dengan infrastruktur pasar dalam keuangan berbasis rantai, yang terakhir menangani fungsi manajemen aset dan optimasi risiko.

Setelah tata letak padat belakangan ini, peta keuangan berbasis rantai SBI telah membentuk kontur yang cukup jelas. Keuntungan struktur ini adalah SBI tidak perlu membangun semua modul teknologi dari nol. Grup dapat memperkenalkan teknologi perusahaan asli berbasis rantai melalui investasi dan kerja sama, kemudian memanfaatkan lisensi keuangan, basis pelanggan, dan jaringan distribusinya sendiri untuk mendorong implementasi.

Namun, sistem keuangan berbasis rantai ini saat ini masih dalam tahap pembangunan, banyak tata letak yang masih jauh dari implementasi skala besar. Saat ini, SBI telah membangun kerangka strategis yang cukup lengkap, tetapi apakah bisnis yang berbeda dapat membentuk sinergi, dan akhirnya berubah menjadi sistem keuangan berbasis rantai yang berjalan terus-menerus, masih membutuhkan waktu dan pengujian aplikasi aktual.

QApa yang menjadi fokus baru strategi SBI Holdings di bidang aset digital, dan bagaimana perbedaannya dengan pendekatan sebelumnya?

ASBI Holdings kini memfokuskan strateginya pada pembangunan sistem 'keuangan on-chain'. Berbeda dengan pendekatan awal yang lebih tersebar dengan investasi terpisah di Ripple, bursa, dan sekuritas digital, fokus baru ini bertujuan mengintegrasikan berbagai layanan keuangan tradisional seperti penyelesaian, penerbitan aset, perdagangan, kredit, dan manajemen aset ke dalam satu kerangka kerja berbasis blockchain yang terhubung.

QApa peran stablecoin dalam kerangka keuangan on-chain SBI, dan bagaimana karakteristik utama dari JPYSC yang baru diluncurkan?

AStablecoin berfungsi sebagai fondasi lapisan penyelesaian dalam sistem keuangan on-chain SBI. JPYSC, stablecoin Yen Jepang yang baru diluncurkan, merupakan stablecoin berbasis trust pertama di Jepang. Berbeda dengan jenis lain, ia tidak dibatasi oleh batas transfer dan kepemilikan 1 juta Yen. Ini menjadikannya lebih cocok untuk penyelesaian korporat, pembayaran lintas batas, dan perdagangan RWA. Saat ini, JPYSC hanya beredar di dalam platform SBI VC Trade dan belum dapat ditarik ke dompet eksternal.

QBagaimana SBI berencana membawa aset keuangan tradisional ke dalam ekosistem blockchain?

ASBI berencana membawa aset tradisional ke blockchain melalui beberapa cara: 1) Membangun jaringan Layer 1 Strium bersama Startale untuk mendukung perdagangan tokenisasi saham, obligasi, dan RWA. 2) Mendirikan perusahaan patungan SBI Onchain dengan DigiFT (platform RWA berlisensi Singapura) untuk membuat kerangka tokenisasi aset Jepang. 3) Bermitra dengan Solana Foundation untuk mengembangkan layanan di bidang RWA seperti obligasi korporat. Intinya, SBI ingin mengonversi produk keuangan internalnya (sekuritas, dana) menjadi aset on-chain.

QApa tujuan SBI berinvestasi dalam platform DeFi seperti Morpho dan Gauntlet, dan bagaimana keduanya saling melengkapi?

AInvestasi SBI di Morpho dan Gauntlet bertujuan melengkapi infrastruktur kredit dan manajemen aset dalam sistem keuangan on-chain-nya. Morpho (lapisan 'pasar') menyediakan jaringan kredit modular yang memungkinkan pembuatan pasar pinjam-meminjam terisolasi. Gauntlet (lapisan 'brankas hasil') berfungsi untuk mengelola risiko, merancang strategi, dan mengalokasikan dana di atas pasar-pasar tersebut. Dengan kata lain, Morpho menyediakan infrastruktur dasar, sementara Gauntlet mengelola aset dan mengoptimalkan risikonya.

QMenurut artikel, apa kelebihan dan tantangan utama dari strategi keuangan on-chain yang dibangun oleh SBI Holdings?

AKelebihan utama strategi SBI adalah tidak perlu membangun semua modul teknologi dari nol. Mereka dapat mengintegrasikan teknologi dari perusahaan on-chain seperti Circle, Morpho, dan Gauntlet melalui investasi dan kemitraan, lalu memanfaatkan jaringan lisensi keuangan, basis pelanggan, dan distribusi yang sudah mereka miliki. Tantangan utamanya adalah sistem ini masih dalam tahap pembangunan. Meski kerangka strategisnya sudah lengkap, masih perlu waktu dan uji coba aplikasi nyata untuk melihat apakah berbagai bisnis ini benar-benar dapat bersinergi dan beroperasi sebagai sistem keuangan on-chain yang berkelanjutan.

After Three Consecutive Quarters of Decline, Can the Crypto Market Find a Window for Stabilization in Q3?

The cryptocurrency market has just concluded its worst-performing quarter since 2022, with total capitalization dropping 12.6% to $2.1 trillion. All core metrics indicate capital is leaving the sector, not just rotating within it. Bitcoin fell 14.2% and Ethereum dropped 25.4% in Q2, breaking their previous correlation with US tech stocks. A key driver is the reversal in US spot Bitcoin ETF flows, which saw a net outflow of approximately $4.67 billion in Q2, including a record monthly outflow near $4.5 billion in June. While recent data suggests long-term holders are accumulating again, sustained ETF outflows mean continued selling pressure. Market focus is now singularly on the Federal Reserve. The upcoming July FOMC meeting is seen as the most critical event for Q3. A dovish signal could support Bitcoin reclaiming a $68,000-$84,000 range, while a hawkish stance might establish a new trading band around $50,000-$56,000. Additionally, regulatory uncertainty persists, with the progress of the crucial *CLARITY Act* stalling in the Senate, reducing its perceived 2026 passage probability to 40-45%. Despite the broad downturn, a few sectors showed growth. Prediction markets saw nominal volume surge 48.7% year-over-year to $113.8 billion, and tokenized collectibles transaction volume rose 143% quarterly to $1.4 billion. The Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector also continued steady growth, now representing ~$28.1 billion in on-chain value. The market's foundation for an extreme crash appears limited, with Bitcoin price hovering near its 200-week moving average. However, the trading paradigm has shifted from narrative-driven speculation to decisions based on price action, policy developments, and interest rate expectations, making a broad sentiment-driven rally unlikely in the near term.

BIT Trading Moment: BTC Still Suppressed by Weekly 200 EMA, Rejection May Restart Decline; Storage and Semiconductors that Surged Last Night Begin Falling in Evening Trading

**Crypto & Stock Market Wrap: Bitcoin Tests Resistance, Stocks Retreat After AI Surge** Bitcoin consolidates around $66,000, facing key resistance near $68,000—an area seen as a major psychological and technical hurdle where previous rallies have failed. Analysts note the cryptocurrency is caught between its 200-week moving average (~$63,333) and 200-week EMA (~$68,328). A clear break above $68k is needed to signal a stronger bullish trend, while a rejection could lead to a retest of $63k support. Market sentiment remains cautious, with low futures open interest pointing to a low-liquidity rebound rather than a full bull market. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw another $203 million inflow. US stock futures pointed lower after a strong Tuesday session led by a massive rebound in semiconductors and memory stocks. The rally was fueled by renewed optimism about AI-driven hardware demand, with Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix surging. However, those gains reversed in pre-market trading. Super Micro Computer (SMCI) soared over 20% after hours on strong guidance and a record backlog. Other standouts included Rocket Lab and nuclear energy plays Oklo and X-Energy. Rising oil prices (Brent above $91) and climbing Treasury yields (10-year near 4.64%), however, are reigniting inflation concerns and acting as a headwind for equities. In Asia, markets were mixed. South Korea's KOSPI pared early gains to close slightly higher as semiconductor stocks like SK Hynix gave back initial surges. Japan's Nikkei edged lower as the yen hit a fresh 38-year low against the dollar, raising fears of potential market intervention. Key events to watch include the Samsung Galaxy launch, AMD's AI event, and a slew of major tech earnings from Alphabet, Tesla, and IBM after the close on Wednesday, followed by the ECB meeting and Intel's earnings on Thursday.

Former CFTC Chairman, Circle President Tarbert: Preaching Long-Termism While Cashing Out $30 Million Himself

Former CFTC Chairman and Circle President Heath Tarbert has consistently advocated for a long-term vision in public, urging patience from investors as Circle’s stock price has fallen significantly from its peak. However, it has been revealed that since Circle’s IPO, Tarbert has continuously sold his CRCL shares through pre-arranged trading plans, cashing out approximately $30 million, without making any public market purchases. This contrast between his public messaging and personal actions has drawn criticism. Tarbert joined Circle in July 2023 as Chief Legal Officer, leveraging his regulatory experience to help guide the company through its IPO and expansion. Despite promoting stablecoins as long-term infrastructure, he established a 10b5-1 trading plan just before Circle went public, leading to substantial stock sales over the following year. In March 2026, he initiated another plan to sell more shares. His career trajectory highlights a pattern of moving between high-level regulatory roles and influential positions in the financial sector. After resigning as CFTC Chairman in early 2021, he joined Citadel Securities as Chief Legal Officer just 27 days later, during a period of intense regulatory scrutiny for the firm. He later joined Circle, aiding its efforts to navigate regulatory challenges for its public listing. While Tarbert's expertise in policy and compliance is valuable to companies like Circle, his actions—advocating long-term confidence while personally divesting—raise questions about the alignment between his public statements and his private financial decisions, leaving investors who followed his advice to bear the market risks.

Gate Research Institute: The 'Wall Street-ization' Wave of Crypto Financial Products – Competition or Integration?

The article titled "Gate Research Institute: Are Crypto Financial Products Sparking a 'Wall Street' Wave—Competition or Convergence?" explores the evolving relationship between the crypto ecosystem and traditional finance (TradFi). The piece begins by reflecting on Bitcoin's original 2009 vision of decentralization, disintermediation, and moving away from banks. It then contrasts this with the 2024 landscape, where key crypto assets like Bitcoin are increasingly held through Wall Street products like ETFs issued by giants like BlackRock. The article questions whether this signifies that TradFi is systematically taking over the rights to issue, price, custody, and distribute crypto financial assets. The core argument is that this is not a zero-sum takeover but rather a bidirectional convergence where each side addresses the other's weaknesses. Crypto offers 24/7 global markets, programmable settlement, and open access but lacks compliant channels, institutional-grade custody, deep fiat liquidity, and mainstream distribution. TradFi possesses these but is constrained by legacy systems, limited operating hours, and slow settlement. Two primary convergence paths are highlighted: * **Path A (CEX to TradFi):** Exemplified by Gate, which has progressed from offering tokenized stocks and CFDs to providing direct, real stock trading (US, Hong Kong, South Korea) within its platform, using USDT. * **Path B (TradFi to Crypto):** Exemplified by Robinhood, which has integrated crypto trading, acquired exchanges like Bitstamp, and is moving traditional assets like stocks onto the blockchain via tokenization and its own Layer 2. Both paths are ultimately competing to become the next-generation, unified financial account—a "super account" where users can seamlessly trade cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, RWA (Real World Assets), and tokenized treasury products in one interface. The growth of RWA and tokenized treasuries (e.g., BlackRock's BUIDL) is presented as the asset-layer fusion, providing stable, yield-bearing assets on-chain and acting as a bridge between the two worlds. In conclusion, the "Wall Street-ization" of crypto is framed as a mutual transformation. Decentralized ideals persist in the protocol layer, while at the application layer, a more efficient, global, and accessible unified capital market is emerging from this convergence. The future competition lies not between crypto exchanges and stockbrokers, but between platforms vying to offer the most comprehensive asset coverage, liquidity, and user experience within a single account.
