Traditional finance (TradFi) is undergoing a structural transformation.

In traditional finance (TradFi), financial accounts are the core infrastructure through which all economic activity is executed.

In TradFi (Traditional Finance), gold and commodities refer to physical assets such as precious metals, energy resources, and agricultural products that are traded in organized markets. Unlike purely financial assets, these commodities are directly linked to real economic activity, making them a foundational part of traditional financial systems.

TradFi derivatives are financial contracts whose value is derived from an underlying asset or reference, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, interest rates, or currencies. Rather than representing ownership, derivatives allow market participants to manage price exposure, hedge risk, and improve capital efficiency without directly holding the underlying assets.

In TradFi (Traditional Finance), stocks (also known as equities) are ownership securities that represent a shareholder’s claim on a company’s assets and earnings. Stocks are issued by companies and traded on regulated stock exchanges, forming the core of traditional equity markets.

In TradFi (Traditional Finance), bonds are debt securities that represent a contractual loan from investors to an issuer, such as a government or corporation. When an investor buys a bond, they become a creditor and are entitled to receive periodic interest payments (coupons) and the repayment of principal at a specified maturity date.

In TradFi (Traditional Finance), an ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is an open-ended investment fund that trades on stock exchanges and tracks the performance of an index, asset class, or basket of securities. Structurally, ETFs combine the diversification benefits of mutual funds with the real-time trading characteristics of stocks.
