About This Episode

In Episode 20 of Solana Smoke, Maxime lights a cigar from La Palma and sits down with Florian, a CEO deep in the RWA trenches, to do a reality check on Wall Street's tokenization ambitions.

The narrative has been bullish: banks on-chain, trillions tokenized, TradFi meets DeFi. But Florian has a front-row seat to how it's actually playing out — and the gap between the press releases and the reality is significant.

We cover: - Why the big institutional tokenization plans are stalling - The real blockers: compliance, custody, liquidity, and institutional inertia - What RWA infrastructure actually needs to look like to work at scale - Where Solana fits — and where it doesn't yet - The projects Florian thinks are building the right way - What a realistic 2–3 year tokenization timeline actually looks like
