Alex Gluchowski (Matter Labs): Banks, Tokenized Deposits & ZK Privacy

Alex Gluchowski, co-founder and CEO of Matter Labs, describes the company's eight-year mission to scale blockchains with zero-knowledge proofs and calls the onboarding of banks and enterprises onto blockchain rails crypto's largest-ever opportunity. He explains why bank consortium chains failed over privacy and governance, how ZK proofs now let institutions keep control while connecting to other institutions and public systems, and why tokenized deposits and stablecoins will converge into an internet of value with far higher velocity of money. He cites the GENIUS Act and the upcoming Clarity Act as catalysts, expects institutions to move from pilots to production this year — including a tokenized-deposit effort with five US regional banks — and points viewers to ZK-Sync.
