Big Theme 2: Institutions x Public Chains
We continue our series of RWA x DeFi and this time talk about how institutions are still on the brink but leaning more than ever.
Institutions are gradually shifting their focus from private and consortium chains to public chains in the crypto and web3 space. The collapse of several private and consortium chains, such as we.trade and B3i, has highlighted the limitations of siloed chains. Large institutions are starting to realize the efficiency and ecosystem advantages that public chains offer. Some institutions, like Franklin Templeton and J.P. Morgan, have already taken steps towards adopting public chains in a permissioned manner.
At Polytrade, we have engaged in conversations with various institutions and banks, including major players like J.P. Morgan and Citi, regarding the value of public chains. While there is recognition of the benefits, regulatory uncertainty and a resistance to change pose challenges at the operational level.
Although institutions are gradually acknowledging the importance of public chains, widespread adoption is still a few years away. Clear regulations and an educational bridge are necessary for progress. It is likely that B2B or backend use cases will be adopted first before more mainstream B2C implementations occur.
Key Takeaways:
Institutions understand the need to adopt blockchain technology.
Public chains offer greater efficiency and ecosystem advantages than private or consortium chains.
Regulatory clarity and education are crucial for institutional adoption.
Proof-of-concepts (POCs) and B2B/backend use cases will precede broader B2C implementation in the next 2-5 years.
