Mike Cagney 🇺🇸(@mcagney):I’ve spent the last fifteen years moving lending from paper to digital to blockchain. SoFi proved borrowers didn’t need banks. Figure proved capital markets don’t need the middleman: roughly $2B a month (and growing) of real world assets now originate, finance, settle - and soon securitize - on a public blockchain. Lower transactional costs, better capital markets and better financing vs TradFi. And not mirrored on chain. Born there. Every other asset class will follow the same path: equities, funds, eventually anything with a cash flow. The horse has left the barn. The next decade of capital markets gets built by the people who already operate this way.
