Recently, I was chatting with several seasoned investors, and everyone is pointing in the same direction: the next growth engine of the crypto market won't be the retail-driven MEME coins, but rather a large-scale migration of traditional financial assets.



The signs are actually quite obvious. BlackRock has launched tokenized funds, and central banks around the world are researching CBDCs. All of these point to one fact: eventually, all financial assets will be on-chain.

But there's a contradiction that many people overlook. Public blockchains like Ethereum and Solana are designed specifically for native crypto assets. They are more like huge open-air markets—lively, open, and conducive to innovation. But imagine taking the trillions of dollars in stock trading on NASDAQ and the bond markets and moving all that business to an open-air square for operation? That’s unrealistic.

Traditional financial institutions have very specific requirements: bank vault-level security and a constantly compliant legal framework. That’s the key issue.

This is precisely why some projects have been taking a different path from the start. They don’t want to be a "general marketplace," but rather a specialized "Digital Financial Tower."

The core challenge is this: how can we make code understand the law? On traditional public chains, smart contracts only follow code—they have no concept of people or law. But if there’s a framework that can embed legal rules directly into asset logic, making the code inherently compliant, the story changes completely. This is exactly the direction some new-generation public chains are exploring.

That's right, on-chain traditional finance is an inevitable trend, but the public chain is indeed not ready yet. Reading legal code feels even harder than writing code. Nah, it's still early. We need to wait until those digital financial skyscrapers are truly implemented. The open-air plaza model can't handle trillion-dollar businesses; this logic makes sense. The key is who can solve the compliance coding issue first; whoever does will have the opportunity. By the way, can institutions really step in this time, or is it just another story? It's also hard for Ethereum to turn around; the ecosystem revolves around it.

Hmm... It's that "law encoded into code" rhetoric again, I've heard it too many times. Wait, can code really understand the law? Why do I find that hard to believe? It's a good point, but does traditional finance really want to move trillions onto the blockchain? That's hilarious.

Honestly, I agree with this logic halfway. Institutional entry is definitely the next wave, but overthinking the idea of "code understanding law" might be unnecessary...

technically speaking, the whole "code reading law" premise is kinda sub-optimal tho... you're essentially trying to bake regulatory logic into smart contracts? that's mathematically inferior to proper layering. if you analyze the data, most "compliance chains" are just burning gas on redundant state checks. demonstrably false efficiency gains imo

Basically, it's waiting for traditional capital to enter, but right now, everyone is just being cut as the little leeks. Wait, "Code Understands Law"? Sounds impressive, but who can guarantee that these project teams really understand it? I agree with this logic, but the key is who gets into this track first; that person will be the next big player. Embedding compliance frameworks into code? Sounds ideal, but in practice... I need to see the technical details before commenting. BlackRock is moving so quickly that it makes me more cautious, fearing they might be about to cut another wave.

Well... to put it simply, it's about finding a public chain that follows a compliant route. The problem is, can these project teams really embed the law into code? Historical data shows that most of these efforts are just theoretical discussions.

That's reasonable, but it still feels a bit idealistic. How can code understand the law? That's easier said than done. Let's see if BlackRock's approach can actually be implemented first. Will TradFi really go on-chain? I'm a bit skeptical. Making code understand compliance is a challenging idea.
