Argues that on-chain global finance needs open, permissionless interoperability and shows Hyperlane running on over 150 chains and supporting five-plus VMs, with message passing, interchain accounts and a liquidity layer that enables bridging-free UX. Compares Base single-day 15M tx to NASDAQ ~1.5B (≈100x gap) to justify multi-chain scale. Presents passive liquidity + on-chain rebalancing and announces Hyperlane Warp Route 2.0, with BitTensor/Tali as a live example where users swap across substrate/EVM without manual bridges.
