At SmartCon 2025, perspectives on the collision between traditional finance and the crypto-native world continue to evolve. Key institutional players are voicing candid concerns about bridging this gap. As one executive from a major European financial group noted, even from an institutional standpoint, navigating the convergence poses real challenges. The integration of legacy finance systems with emerging crypto ecosystems demands rethinking infrastructure, compliance, and risk management. It's a reminder that while crypto adoption accelerates globally, traditional financial institutions are still calibrating their approach to this new landscape.

The bank folks are finally starting to panic, haha The reconciliation between TradFi and the on-chain world is basically old forces not wanting to truly relinquish control If the compliance framework gets stuck, the innovative space for Web3 will also be gone

According to my analysis, those big European banks are still dithering, which really makes me laugh... On-chain data shows that institutional wallets have been active frequently over the past two months. They talk about "challenges" but are secretly making moves. The plot twist is yet to come.

The traditional financial system is too heavy and can't keep up with the pace of crypto. That's the real issue.

The traditional finance folks are still dithering, we've already hopped on the train. --- Compliance is really a nightmare for them. --- Wait, they only started discussing this at SmartCon? We've been talking about it to death since last year. --- Honestly, it's still fear—fear of losing control. --- Rebuilding the infrastructure has so many pitfalls, no wonder they're worried.
