a16z crypto general partner Guy Wuollet pointed out that the financial industry is undergoing a "digital migration" similar to the era of cloud computing, with blockchain becoming the core infrastructure driving this transformation. Wall Street's adoption of blockchain is not driven by the idea of "decentralization," but rather by the practical needs for counterparty risk management, settlement efficiency, and fair ordering mechanisms.The so-called "digital assets" essentially represent the process of migrating the underlying architecture of the financial system onto the blockchain, similar to the transition of enterprise IT systems from on-premises deployment to cloud services. When financial assets operate on programmable shared infrastructure, it brings the core advantage of "composability," allowing assets to be freely combined and expanded like software, significantly reducing development costs and enhancing the overall innovation efficiency of the financial system. This trend will drive traditional finance from a "closed reconciliation system" to an "on-chain coordination network," and blockchain technology will gradually become a standard component of the financial infrastructure layer in this process.
