During the early 1990s, finance realities largely comprised sprawling institutions, ink-saturated ledgers, and systems that did not even imagine the speed or decentralization that would come to redefine things in future. Fast-forward to today, and that which appeared rebellious fringe technology has quietly begun to lace itself right up into the very fabric of traditional finance. Indeed, where skeptics at first considered it no more than a crazy whim, the joining of crypto-imbued systems and traditional finance has since matured into a serious, strategic convergence. Not with a bang, but indeed a steady, deliberate evolution.
