There are two main obstacles to the scaling of the markets in digital assets and one of them is the lack of interoperability between blockchain networks and between blockchain networks and traditional financial markets. The default answer, hallowed by history in multiple industries, is standards. By enabling different networks to exchange data, they multiply the overall volume of counterparties and transactions.

In 2026 Kalyp Technologies celebrates the tenth anniversary of its foundation as a provider of blockchain infrastructure to the regulated capital markets.

Why have digital asset exchanges found it difficult to disrupt traditional exchanges? Many domestic exchanges are monopolies, so they are intrinsically hard to disrupt. A blockchain-based order book does not offer a sufficient improvement over a traditional order book.

In such cases, digital asset exchanges are better advised to focus on post-trade services, with a vie

Institutional investors care primarily about their investments, the speed with which they can be executed, the transparency of information about them and how safely they are kept.

Are tokenisers focusing on privately managed assets because they are the easy option? This was not the view of the audience. Only minorities thought that tokenising privately managed assets is an easier option than attacking the public markets, and hardly anybody thought issuers are more readily found there. Broader distribution of privately managed asset classes, making privately managed assets more tradeable, and building an infrastructure to support them, are the prioritie

Are traditional exchanges doing nothing about tokenisation? Anecdotal evidence suggests all major exchanges have large teams exploring digital assets, some of which have moved beyond Proofs of Concept (PoCs) and pilot tests and are now close to launching products, but little of their work has seeped into the public domain. This is less because of intellectual property considerations, or lack of buy-in by senior management, than the fact exchanges tend to be regulated and ofte
