Just wrapped EthCC, Stable Summit & Vault Summit. The takeaway: privacy needs to become a packaged, sellable product. The demand is there, the gap is real. • Institutions aren't asking "what is blockchain" anymore. They're asking "what do I build with it" • #1 gap in the market: being compliant AND private with seamless user experience on public chains. Apollo put out an open call for exactly this. • Selective disclosure is the unlock. Institutions can use public permissionless blockchains without the transparency problem that's been blocking them. • Tokenization of everything is loud, but liquidity doesn't follow automatically. The lending/yield problem is still unsolved. • Agentic economy is the talk of the season, and onchain cost efficiency is the real infrastructure question. This is exactly where Hyli plugs in: selective disclosure and compliant layer for DeFi.

Privacy in regulated finance is all about controlling what is visible, to whom, and when. On public blockchains, every transaction is a permanent signal. Treasury flows, client relationships, operating patterns are all exposed to anyone watching. This is a structural problem. Regulated actors do not need full anonymity. They need confidentiality by default, with auditability on demand. And under MiCA and GDPR, EU institutions need it more than ever. Selective disclosure makes that possible: a transaction stays private to the public, verifiable by the network, and auditable by authorized parties when required. A well-designed system lets institutions configure privacy policies per application or contract, rather than forcing a single mode on everything.
