AI Evaluation Notes

By the end of 2025, several major financial entities demonstrated significant engagement with public blockchains and launched services with public chain connectivity. For instance, ANZ Bank executed public blockchain transactions and launched an AUD-pegged stablecoin, and PNC Bank enabled direct Bitcoin trading for clients, indicating a clear move towards integrating public blockchain capabilities within financial operations. While not always explicitly termed 'quasi-public blockchains,' these actions align strongly with the prediction's spirit of major financial entities connecting to and utilizing public blockchain infrastructure.
