1inch (@1inch): Wall Street is coming onchain.

Wall Street is coming onchain. The SEC is reportedly preparing an "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks. Nasdaq has a framework live. DTCC starts production trades in July. NYSE is building. The venues that run global equity markets are moving to blockchain rails and they are moving fast. This isn't DeFi projects competing for supremacy anymore. Major institutions are entering with deep pockets, millions of customers and hundreds of years of market history. They bring legitimacy but they also bring complexity. More players means more venues. More venues means more fragmentation. Different asset classes, regulatory models and geographies each creating their own liquidity silos. Regulatory clarity doesn't automatically solve that. The open, efficient, borderless promise of on-chain finance only gets realised if someone can operate fluently across all of it. Without experienced on-chain operators in the infrastructure the efficiency stays theoretical. The access never reaches the end user. You end up with a blockchain based system but with the same fragmented liquidity limitations. As the market develops the demand for aggregation doesn't shrink, it compounds. Someone needs to dig through every platform, every model and every jurisdiction to find the best price and most efficient execution route. 1inch has been building for exactly this. Direct access to tokenized securities for whitelisted users is already in progress. The more venues that come online, the more that matters.
