8/9
Two realistic outcomes in the next 18–24 months.
Best case: DDRs become the default regulated wrapper for private shares. Multi-institution, cross-border transfers happen seamlessly on-chain with bank-grade custody.
Base case: it stays a high-quality niche used by sophisticated issuers only.
Either way, the institutions collecting data, relationships and tech around these rails today will have the structural edge.
The rest will be explaining why they watched from the sidelines.
