Walrus Protocol: The Hidden Problem With Public Blockchains in Capital Markets
Public blockchains were built for transparency, not for regulated finance.
In capital markets, full transparency becomes a weakness. Positions, trades, collateral, and counterparties exposed on-chain create front-running risk, data leakage, and regulatory conflicts. Institutions cannot operate where every move is public forever.
This is where Walrus Protocol changes the equation. Walrus separates data availability from public exposure, allowing market infrastructure to remain verifiable without revealing sensitive information. Assets don’t disappear, links don’t break, and data remains accessible when needed without turning capital markets into an open ledger of private strategies.
For institutions, reliability, privacy, and compliance are not optional.
They are the baseline.
