"For years, discussions about digital finance have been dominated by retail speculation, tokens with wild price swings and consumer apps. That debate is now settled. Digital finance is reshaping the global economy. The question leaders need to ask today isn't whether it matters, but how institutions adapt safely, sustainably and with real readiness - or risk being left on the sidelines of the next transformation in capital markets."
"This isn't a hype cycle or a race for early adoption. It's slow, deliberate, infrastructure-led change, the kind that happens out of sight, but ultimately determines which institutions can operate at scale and which will struggle as the system evolves around them. Infrastructure is the real story Many still look at digital finance through the lens of consumer apps or dramatic price moves. But the real evolution is happening deeper: in how capital markets operate, how assets settle and how compliance frameworks are being formalized."
Digital finance has moved beyond retail speculation into an institution-led rebuild of financial infrastructure. Banks, regulators, technology platforms and established market participants are rebuilding custody, settlement rails, compliance frameworks, risk controls and core systems so capital can move safely and at scale. Tokenization, regulated stablecoins and formalized frameworks are being integrated into core capital markets, making operational readiness and integration the new competitive advantages. Change is deliberate and infrastructure-focused rather than hype-driven, and will determine which institutions can operate at scale. Analysts project the market for tokenized assets could grow to roughly $16 trillion.
