Bitcoin’s $2 trillion market cap is increasing institutional interest, but existing financial infrastructure isn’t built to handle its unique characteristics. Traditional systems treat Bitcoin like other assets—but Bitcoin is fundamentally different. The differences create serious friction in custody, reconciliation, compliance, and risk management.

Institutions are forced to rely on manual processes, centralized intermediaries, and repurposed tools that expose them to security, regulatory, and operational risk. Without purpose-built infrastructure, institutions cannot confidently use Bitcoin at scale or unlock its full potential as a collateral and liquidity asset.
