Joshua Sum argues that although asset tokenization is advancing, current layer‑1 blockchains fail on three fronts—insufficient throughput, high latency/uncertain finality, and pervasive MEV—creating execution risk, slippage and market manipulation that deter institutional capital. He calls for specialized, high‑performance networks (e.g., >100,000 TPS, sub‑second finality, protocol‑level fairness, seamless composability and native compatibility with environments like the Solana Virtual Machine) to enable a 24/7 global exchange and capture the tokenization opportunity before traditional finance builds the solution.

Summary states current L1s suffer insufficient throughput, high latency/uncertain finality and pervasive MEV causing execution risk, slippage and manipulation; author demands specialized networks with >100,000 TPS, sub‑second finality and protocol‑level fairness to enable a 24/7 institutional exchange.
