What if global finance eventually ran on one shared state machine?

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko described the possible end state of finance as a single giant state machine where different markets can interact with each other atomically.

The idea is bigger than putting assets on a blockchain.

It means stocks, stablecoins, crypto, credit, derivatives and other financial markets could operate on shared infrastructure allowing transactions across markets to settle together without relying on disconnected intermediaries for users that could mean:

→ Faster settlement
→ More composable financial products
→ Fewer fragmented systems
→ Markets that can interact programmatically
→ Global access to liquidity

The important question is not whether every financial market moves onto one blockchain.

It is whether blockchain infrastructure can make different markets interoperable programmable and accessible as one financial system.

That is the bigger vision behind on-chain finance.
