Mastercard just dropped a report with $SEI that cuts through the noise.
The tech bottleneck? Over. Blockchains now push ~3,400 TPS combined. 100x since 2019. $27B+ in real-world assets already tokenized. BlackRock's treasury fund alone crossed $2.5B.
So why aren't banks all in yet?
Trust.
They need to know:
• Is settlement truly final?
• Will it hold under regulatory heat?
• Can it scale when real money moves?
Speed matters for payments. But for treasury ops, governance trumps everything.
Here's the alpha: $SEI is in the room with Mastercard while this is being mapped out. They're learning institutional pain points in real time—before most chains even know what banks actually need.
That's not just positioning. That's a structural edge.
The rails are ready. Now it's about who banks trust to run them.
