Major areas where the financial system still needs an update:
1. Tokenization of real-world assets - Real estate, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. onchain for instant settlement, fractional ownership & massive distribution.
2. 24/7 Global trading - Pooled global liquidity, every asset, every person, with great leverage and capital efficiency.
3. Next-gen payments - Near-instant, low-cost global transfers using stablecoins, including for Agentic payments.
4. AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice - Better decisions, less fraud, and broader access to capital. Everyone gets access to a great financial advisor.
5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it.
6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone.
7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups.
8. Sound money - A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money.
