"Blockchain’s institutional adoption problem isn’t the technology." @konstantin11, Founder/CEO of @blockdaemonHQ at @StellarOrg’s Meridian 2026 says it’s regulatory framing first. Second, providers need to understand how to work with institutions.

Banks want to tokenize. Do they have the people to do it? Michael Shaulov, CEO of @FireblocksHQ at @StellarOrg's Meridian 2026: “They need more people from the industry to go into those institutions to help them.”
