What happens when $160T markets move onchain? We sat down with @perkinscr97, Head of Franklin Crypto at @FTDA_US, to talk Bitcoin vs gold, strategic gas tokens, quantum risk, 24/7 markets and why institutions may be far deeper into crypto than most realize. Joins tomorrow

What happened

Franklin Crypto's head will discuss moving $160 trillion markets onchain, comparing Bitcoin to gold, strategic gas tokens, quantum risk, and 24/7 trading. The interview also suggests institutions are more involved in crypto than commonly known.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

If large traditional markets shift onchain, companies may need new technology and could face lower costs but more competition. Bitcoin's role versus gold could change how investors store value, affecting demand for both assets.

Analyst inference

Discussions about quantum risk and strategic gas tokens highlight potential threats and new uses for blockchain networks. Institutional involvement hinted at could mean more mainstream acceptance, possibly impacting crypto prices and related business revenues.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The interview tomorrow will provide details on how $160 trillion markets might move onchain, including comparisons between Bitcoin and gold and the role of strategic gas tokens. Confirmed
2. Listeners may learn about quantum risk and how it could affect crypto security, and whether institutions are indeed deeper into crypto than most people think. Proposed
3. After the interview, companies using blockchain could see increased investor interest, while traditional gold holders might reassess their positions if Bitcoin is seen as a stronger store of value. Analyst inference
