The gap between traditional finance professionals and DeFi practitioners is going to be far wider than most people realize. We're not talking years—this shift is already underway.

Tokenized stocks are turning into a real infrastructure piece, not just hype. Once equities move on-chain, the whole conversation flips. It stops being "should we integrate DeFi?" and becomes "how do we build within DeFi?" Two completely different questions.

The ones who figure out on-chain asset management early will have an unfair advantage. Everyone else will be playing catch-up.
