Wall Street to Web3: The Financial Revolution Has Begun
A fundamental shift is unfolding in finance as traditional structures give way to decentralized systems. According to Koshiek Karan, founder of BankerX, the transition from stock exchanges to tokenized markets mirrors the internet’s disruption of information. While traditional markets limit access with fixed hours, crypto markets trade 24/7, enabling true financial inclusivity. Strategies like the “night effect” reveal how limited access disadvantages retail investors.
Exchanges like NYSE and Nasdaq are now extending trading hours to compete with this demand. Meanwhile, tokenized stocks—tradable 24/7 on blockchains like Solana—offer real-time pricing, global access, and lower fees. Kraken’s launch of tokenized equities marks a major step toward DeFi integration.
Even BlackRock CEO Larry Fink acknowledged tokenization’s potential to revolutionize investing. As blockchain bridges markets, finance is entering a new era—borderless, fast, and open to all. The decentralization wave isn’t just coming—it’s already begun. And as Karan says, “We’re still early.”
