Every single bank will be on chain. I've said this many times over in the last 12 plus months. In fact, this is something that I've been saying since going all the way back to 2023.In this video, I want to go over a lot of things, including the fact that yes, we will eventually see every single bank operating onchain.

Core Insights - Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchains are expected to be a major growth driver in the crypto sector over the next five years, as more assets are managed or traded on blockchains, increasing the value that touches these networks and supporting the prices of their native tokens [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The overall market for RWAs using blockchains as a record-keeping system has started to shrink, while the smaller segment of assets that operate on-chain is growing slowly after a significant increase over the past year [2] - The implications of this shift are particularly significant for blockchain networks like Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, which are most exposed to the RWA segment [2] Group 2: Tokenization Types - Tokenization represents ownership of an asset as a crypto token on a blockchain, allowing for transfers and updates to be managed by the blockchain's rules rather than traditional methods [5] - There are two main types of tokenized RWAs: "distributed" assets, which are designed to move across blockchain networks and interact with smart contracts, and "represented" assets, which primarily use the blockchain for record-keeping while remaining under traditional custody [6][7] Group 3: Capital Inflows - Capital inflows related to RWA tokenization have significantly leveled off in the past month, with Ethereum experiencing the most impact, while Solana and XRP are currently benefiting from the situation [8]

Comparing $ETH (network) and $AMZN (corporation) on PE ratios misses the point of crypto.Amazon can run without $AMZN stock.Ethereum cannot run without $ETH.ETH needs to be staked for the network to work.Higher Ethereum adoption means higher demand for ETH because anyone using Ethereum ends up needing it one way or another (as Vitalik says, 'users' also include Wall Street and others).That part is obvious.The bearish case is gas abstraction removing the need for end-users to acquire ETH.Fair criticism.Even ...
