Annabelle Huang Interview with Cointelegraph: The Institutional Bottleneck

Cointelegraph — September 2025

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Altius co-founder and CEO Annabelle Huang argues that the next wave of institutional adoption will be led by fintechs building their own blockchains, pointing to Robinhood and Stripe as early movers with more to follow across Asia and Latin America. Drawing on her background scaling Amber Group, she frames performance as the industry's central bottleneck: Wall Street trades in microseconds while blockchains still settle in seconds, and that gap has to close before fintech chains can carry institutional capital. The conversation also covers ETF and treasury demand, market structure, and why she expects consolidation rather than a wave of new general-purpose chains.
