The Transition: TradFi to DeFi
summary
Panelists argue Bitcoin is moving from custody-first products to on-chain capital markets, citing 100+ Bitcoin L2s expected in the next 6–12 months and several proof-of-stake L2s that lock supply. Examples include a 2 billion commercial paper pilot issued on a blockchain with SWIFT, widespread ETF-driven inflows, and services focusing on custody, multisig, staking and on-chain yield stacks. Biggest constraints are regulatory clarity and user education; UX, insurance and visible on-chain accounting are presented as the practical levers for broader adoption.
