Debate: Wall Street Doesn't Need Blockchain
summary
Panelists argue tokenization actually cuts the cost of trust and cites a Franklin Templeton pilot that saved $30,000 by moving a transfer agent on chain, while noting leveraged loans still settle in 15–20 business days. Claims: permissionless chains (Solana named) enable on‑chain transferability and self‑custody; experiments include private chains and tokenized whiskey, wine, real estate. Objections: immutable ledgers complicate trade unwinds, regulation (SEC delays) blocks rollouts, and tokenization alone does not guarantee liquidity.
