Imagine a world with a unified global financial market — where currencies, real estate, commodities, equities, memecoins, and crypto assets all exist and interact within a single open marketplace. A market where anyone, from anywhere in the world, can access and engage with assets — instantly, without permission, and at minimal cost.
This is the long-term vision of finance, and for a long time, that vision wasn’t possible. Most financial markets remained bound to legacy infrastructure like SWIFT— siloed, closed, and permissioned by design.
Fortunately, after more than a decade of blockchain innovation, we’re closer than ever to realizing this vision — a new financial market that is open, programmable, and internet-native.
We call this the Internet Financial Market.
Why it matters
The Internet Financial Market is a powerful idea. It captures the essence of what crypto is evolving into: a global, permissionless, composable financial infrastructure — built on the open internet. It isn’t just an upgrade to finance—it’s a redefinition. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
Efficiency: Onchain markets show what’s possible when financial infrastructure is rebuilt from scratch. They are faster, more transparent, and more programmable than anything running on legacy rails.
Access: These markets open the gates to the global financial system — not just for institutions, but for all 8 billion people. All you need is a wallet and an internet connection.
Market creation: Onchain, anyone can create a market. A meme, a community, a piece of real estate — anything can become an asset, and any asset can become a liquid market in seconds.
Always-on and global: Internet-native markets operate 24/7, settle instantly, and are free from the constraints of geography, time zones, or banking hours.
The Global Liquidity Market
To build a functioning financial market, assets alone are not enough. For markets to emerge — and for users to meaningfully interact with them — we need three essential components working together: assets, markets, and access.
First, we need more trusted, reliable, quality assets onchain — not just tokens for speculation, but programmable representations of real economic value. From stablecoins and equities to attention and real-world assets, anything can be tokenized. But those assets must exist in a shared, secure, and composable environment to be meaningful.
Second, assets need liquid markets to become useful. That means transparent pricing, deep liquidity, and efficient trading infrastructure. In the old world, liquidity came from institutions. In the internet capital markets, it comes from open liquidity protocols — allowing anyone to pool capital, earn yield, and help bootstrap new markets. This turns market making into a public function — and unlocks a powerful flywheel for decentralized liquidity.
Finally, access is what brings it all together. Without unified, seamless access, markets remain fragmented and difficult to use. What we need is a single execution environment, where users can interact with any asset or market through one interface — instantly, globally, and without permission.
Together, these three pillars — assets, markets, and access — form the foundation of a unified, global liquidity market: the Internet Financial Market. And when fully realized, this single unified market could replace fragmented systems like SWIFT and create exponential growth through network effects — as asset issuers, market makers, and users converge on a shared financial platform.
