Traditional finance and the crypto world have always been separated by an invisible wall. Different technical standards, conflicting legal frameworks, and a lack of mutual trust mechanisms—these obstacles have kept hundreds of trillions of mainstream capital on the sidelines, only able to observe from outside. But this divide can actually be bridged; the key lies in finding the right "intermediary."

Many believe that blockchain will conquer traditional finance through superior technology and faster speeds. But the real issue is more practical: traditional financial institutions simply don’t understand the language of crypto. They need compliance frameworks, audit trails, and risk control mechanisms—things that must appear on-chain in a form they can comprehend.

Some projects are working on this. Their approach is: don’t make the traditional world adapt to crypto, but embed familiar traditional financial elements directly on the chain in advance. Requirements like KYC, AML, and securities regulations are modularized during design, allowing institutions to call upon them as needed. Audit trails are no longer paper reports but immutable on-chain records, which can actually be more efficient. In this way, traditional finance no longer sees a "Westworld," but a trustworthy operational environment they can rely on.

Conversely, crypto projects also gain opportunities. Once a DeFi protocol integrates these compliance modules, it can more confidently open its doors to institutional investors. NFT projects can even evolve into forms of legally binding warrants. The cleverness of this design lies in the fact that it doesn’t force one side to compromise; instead, it enables the genes of two parallel worlds to recombine—combining the efficiency and programmability of the crypto world with the order and asset sedimentation of the traditional world, creating a whole new species.

This is not a simple migration from the old world, but the definition of a more inclusive new rule set.
