πŸ“° Morgan Stanley Report: Blockchain Adoption May Not Benefit Tokens

Written by: RitaDigital assets are transitioning from speculation to financial infrastructure. Stablecoins have surpassed $300 billion in market size, and token

➀ A Morgan Stanley report suggests that while blockchain adoption is increasing, economic benefits may not translate to token price appreciation, potentially benefiting existing financial institutions more than token holders.
➀ The report differentiates between technology adoption and value capture, outlining scenarios where institutions leverage hybrid architectures and private networks, with public protocols only benefiting from sustained token demand.
➀ While tokenized real-world assets and stablecoins are growing, their broader payment applications and value capture mechanisms remain a challenge, requiring investors to distinguish between adoption rates and actual economic benefits for tokens.

πŸ“° A financial integrity framework for permissionless networks
πŸ—“οΈ Sep 10 2026 12:20 UTC - Rebecca Rettig

How and why financial institutions can build and transact on permissionless blockchain networks β€” within the bounds of the law and regulation

➀ Financial institutions can leverage permissionless blockchain networks by implementing risk-based compliance frameworks at the application layer, rather than requiring control over the underlying infrastructure.
➀ Existing financial integrity laws, including AML/CFT and sanctions regulations, are compatible with permissionless networks, as regulators focus on systemic deficiencies rather than isolated incidents.
➀ Technological advancements in cryptography and evolving regulatory interpretations support the use of permissionless networks for financial transactions, offering privacy benefits and enabling broader participation.
