Looking seven years ahead, ETH Systems' optimistic vision includes trillions of dollars in assets on-chain, with privacy solutions making the transition for non-crypto natives 'invisible.' They foresee a future where financial infrastructure is largely blockchain-based, offering the benefits of DeFi without compromising user identity or privacy.
“I think what you'd want it to be is that for the vast majority of people that are not crypto native, it should be invisible. Like the best technologies, you don't see them, but you get the affordances of it.”
“So I think that's basically how we see it. Like in seven years, it's very realistic that the vast majority of financial infrastructure is going to be on a blockchain.”
“It's happening right now. All the biggest players are already doing it. Hopefully that happens on Ethereum.”
