This marks the first time traditional banks have collectively committed nine-figure investments specifically toward building blockchain infrastructure rather than just trading. The scale ($100B) and scope (345 startups) of institutional backing represents an unprecedented shift from speculative interest to actually constructing the digital asset ecosystem. This demonstrates a strategic pivot from resistance to active development of future financial systems.
Banks Pour $100B into Blockchain: Digital Asset Revolution Accelerates
📰 What Happened
A comprehensive report by Ripple, CB Insights, and UK Centre for Blockchain Technologies reveals banks have invested over $100 billion in blockchain infrastructure since 2020. The study analyzed 10,000+ investment deals and surveyed 1,800 financial executives, showing banks are pivoting from trading to building fundamental blockchain technology. Focus areas include tokenization, custodial digital assets, and cross-border payment systems. Monthly stablecoin transaction volumes are projected to reach $700 billion by 2025.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The $100B investment by traditional banks specifically targeting blockchain infrastructure aligns with Revelation's economic control prophecies. The focus on tokenization and cross-border payment systems suggests banks are inadvertently building the technical foundation for a unified global financial system. The projected $700B monthly stablecoin volume by 2025 indicates rapid acceleration toward digital-only transactions. This institutional backing of 345 blockchain startups shows how traditional financial powers are being used to create the very system that could enable centralized economic control, as warned in Revelation 13.
