Major financial institutions are making their move into digital assets. A global banking giant is gearing up to roll out a wallet solution this year—one that'll handle tokenized equities alongside other digital assets. This could be a game-changer for institutional adoption.

The real question everyone's asking: which blockchain will they choose? Will they go with established networks like Ethereum for broad compatibility? Opt for a private or permissioned chain for compliance control? Or maybe even launch on multiple chains to maximize reach?

Given the complexity of institutional requirements—custody standards, regulatory compliance, transaction speed—the infrastructure decision will be crucial. This move signals how serious traditional finance is becoming about tokenization and Web3 integration.
