Blockchain Revolution: How Distributed Ledgers Could Supercharge Covered Bonds (If Wall Street Gets Out of Its Own Way)
Forget 'disruption'—this is evolution with teeth. Moody's latest analysis confirms what crypto natives knew years ago: blockchain could slash settlement times, boost transparency, and finally drag covered bonds into the 21st century.
The catch? Traditional finance's innovation allergy. While decentralized finance protocols settle billions in seconds, Wall Street still treats smart contracts like alien technology. The report quietly admits what we all see—the tech works, but the suits won't play ball.
Here's the cynical kicker: the same institutions crying about 'blockchain risks' are the ones charging 2% fees for paperwork that could be automated tomorrow. Moody's might call these hurdles—we call it job security for middlemen.
