BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes reportedly says that layer-1 blockchain Aptos (APT) is able to fixing many issues for the standard finance (TradFi) world.
In a speech on the latest Aptos Expertise convention in Seoul reported by Aptos co-founder Mo Shaikh, Hayes says that his expertise within the TradFi world confirmed him how antiquated the trade is, with massive quantities of friction and frequent disputes over settlement delays, forex funds and inventory deliveries.
The crypto veteran says {that a} world the place TradFi merchandise commerce on an Aptos-based decentralized trade (DEX) may change that.
“As an ETF (exchange-traded fund) issuer, you don’t wish to take care of all that, so you progress all that to an Aptos DEX. With a DEX, you get 24/7 buying and selling and rapid settlement. Why does it take one or two days to settle inventory, bond or securities trades in a world the place it’s simply knowledge transferring round?
Exchanges resist altering their insurance policies as a result of doing so would expose their lack of actual worth – they’re simply middlemen – toll takers – who might be simply disintermediated.”
Hayes says that such an answer would remove the necessity for tons of pointless friction, fixing many points for corporations like BlackRock.
“Once you reduce out the middlemen, there’s no extra brokers. Anybody with a pockets turns into the dealer. No want for custodians, because the chain itself handles custody, or an easy-to-use pockets. Conventional exchanges and the intermediaries – brokers, custodians, and corporations profiting off cost for order circulation – are pointless.
All that quantity and income might be internalized, permitting you to supply decrease charges to prospects and higher incentives to your salespeople. Let’s simply say utilizing an Aptos DEX would clear up A LOT of issues for a TradFi establishment like BlackRock.”
Not too long ago, Hayes predicted that Aptos might overtake Solana (SOL) on this market cycle.
“I’ll put this on the market on this explicit venue and I’ll qualify it with extra data most likely later this summer season as soon as I get again within the swing of issues. Aptos flips Solana within the layer-1 sport. I’ll put that on the market. I’m not going to say any greater than that.
I believe Aptos may very well be the quantity two L1 over Solana inside this cycle. That’s a one to three-year kind of prediction.”
At time of writing, APT is value $5.81, down 4.8% within the final 24 hours.
