Tokenization platform chief predicts full blockchain adoption in traditional finance within six years amid regulatory concerns in Europe.
Brickken CEO Edwin Mata projects that Wall Street will operate entirely on blockchain technology by 2030. The shift is driven by growing institutional interest in tokenizing real-world assets, such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, and the fading distinction between traditional finance and crypto.
Mata warned that Europe’s regulatory environment is stifling local startups, leaving the U.S. and AI-driven tools to dominate the future of tokenized finance. He added that traditional software dashboards will soon be replaced by AI agents handling backend financial operations.
The CEO noted that terms like ‘Web3’ are losing relevance as major banks integrate blockchain for settlements and payments, merging it into mainstream fintech infrastructure.
