Why Wall Street is moving on-chain with or without CLARITY

Live from the Avalanche Summit, Jennifer Sanasie and Renato Mariotti sit down with Ava Labs President Charley Cooper to unpack Avalanche's "online to on-chain" thesis. Cooper explains why Ava Labs sells solutions rather than technology, and argues that moving on-chain is not just a progression but a revolution in how financial institutions and enterprises do business, replacing the entire life cycle of a trade and freeing assets trapped in legacy systems. Plus, he addresses the failed CLARITY Act procedural vote, noting that major institutions like KKR, BlackRock, and Apollo were already building on-chain and didn't need the legislation.
