Yet many market participants increasingly view exposure as sufficient. This mirrors a broader trend that has driven the global growth of derivatives markets for decades. Investors often care less about possession than about expressing a market view. Blockchain technology is the best way to do this.
What crypto needs to get there
We can imagine a world in which blockchain’s long-term value proposition becomes increasingly informational rather than purely financial. It may be the infrastructure for answering, at a global scale, “What is this worth right now?”
This places significant demands on the underlying technology, because creating continuous global markets is not as simple as launching a token. Informational markets only function when participants can trade efficiently. Throughput, latency, liquidity depth, and reliability all become critical.
Many blockchain networks still face meaningful limitations in these areas. Infrastructure bottlenecks can undermine the quality of price signals and limit market participation. If crypto is to become the world's primary engine for price discovery, it must continue improving its ability to support high-frequency trading environments, sophisticated risk management systems, and deep pools of capital.
The future of crypto may therefore depend less on creating the next novel asset and more on building the infrastructure required to price a growing universe of existing ones.
