🏦 Institutions Need Both
🏦 Institutions Need Both
🏦 Private vs Public
Institutional blockchain adoption requires a dual approach, according to Morgan Krupetsky.
- Private chains handle compliance requirements
- Public chains provide necessary liquidity
- Interoperability between both systems is essential
This hybrid model addresses institutional needs while maintaining the benefits of both blockchain types. Avalanche positions itself as the infrastructure enabling this seamless integration.
The approach recognizes that institutions can't rely on a single blockchain type to meet all their operational requirements.
Will institutions use private or public blockchains? @MorganKrupetsky says they need both. And they’ll need to be interoperable. Private chains for compliance, public for liquidity. Powered by Avalanche.
