IMO this is inevitable - it's just definitely happening at this stage. The reason why is very clear once you see the value that can be created.
As one example, crypto's 24/7 nature is an _incredible_ improvement over the UX possible with 9-5 finance.
Global companies are made up of many entities, allowing them to do business all over the world. Across these entities a single major company may have hundreds or even thousands of bank accounts, spread across many different banks (to mitigate the risk of a single bank having some issue).
Imagine wanting to move liquidity between an account your business has in Japan, another in Belgium, another in the US etc. Even managing internal liquidity becomes a massive coordination problem with daily cutoffs (maybe the transfer has to be done by 2pm to get processed that day), manual tracking etc. Transferring money in the traditional system can also come with latency of days for clearing.
Imagine instead you had tokenized your deposits at these banks, and could seamlessly move your deposits from the bank in Japan to the bank in Belgium. Your finances can now be managed 24/7 and with a real-time UX (via ZK). These companies could move $100M from one side of the world to another in one second, fully privately.
This is one small example but would be a massive efficiency improvement. There is an enormous list of improvements like this too.
Banks and financial institutions will adopt crypto because they'll be able to offer massively improved services to their users. Their users will also demand this.
Without wanting to shill, this is exactly why @zksync Prividiums are so interesting to enterprise & financial teams. This is the system designed to provide a way for these teams to integrate crypto into their existing businesses, and to accelerate the world moving onchain.
