Public blockchains are moving from experimental rails to components of regulated financial infrastructure, but adoption remains constrained by legacy policy frameworks. Institutional tokenisation is gaining traction (Franklin Templeton, Apollo and others now issue blockchain-native funds) as forecasts suggest up to $5tn of tokenised assets by 2030. Yet regulatory models still draw rigid lines between “public” and “permissioned” networks, a taxonomy increasingly irrelevant as hybrid architectures emerge. The next phase demands interoperability standards, legal settlement finality and risk-based regulation, not architecture-based restrictions.
