A certain leading exchange's product launch event some time ago directly revealed its big ambitions — it no longer wants to be just a pure crypto exchange, but aims to become a "global financial super app" and operating system for the digital age.

What is this ambition about? It mainly unfolds across three dimensions:

1️⃣ Cross-industry competition: Using new categories like 24-hour stock trading, prediction markets, and asset tokenization to leverage blockchain's efficiency to challenge traditional brokerage firms. This is not small-scale; they genuinely want to take a bite out of the market.

2️⃣ Ecosystem expansion: Keeping users within the platform's internal ecosystem through these new products to form a "one-stop financial service" closed loop.

3️⃣ Technology-driven: Using blockchain and tokenization technology to reduce intermediary costs, directly improving efficiency and transparency.

This reflects a major trend in the Web3 industry — exchanges are no longer satisfied with just matching trades but aim to become the foundational financial infrastructure for users.

Business is really tough; even exchanges have to turn towards financial super apps.

This ambition is indeed great, but honestly, whether it can truly take a bite of this cake depends on subsequent execution ability. --- Wanting to build a super app again, how many times has this routine been repeated... in the end, it's just stacking features, and the user experience actually suffers. --- I believe in the cost reduction brought by tokenization technology, but I'm worried about being slapped back by regulators. --- From exchanges to financial infrastructure, the logic is smooth, but the competition is also fierce. Who will win is really hard to say. --- 24-hour stock trading sounds good, but will traditional brokerages just sit and wait? When it's time to fight back, they still will. --- The idea of an ecological closed loop is fine, but the key is how many users can be retained, and how the product experience is beyond just matching trades. --- Big platforms all want to develop operating systems, which sounds very grand, but the actual implementation always falls short. --- If tokenization can truly be integrated, it can indeed reshape financial liquidity, but how to calculate regulatory costs?

Honestly, the idea is good, but can it really be done? Traditional brokers are not to be underestimated. --- Another attempt to become a financial operating system, let's wait and see how it ends. --- Tokenization being able to run smoothly would be amazing; right now, it's all just on paper. --- The exchange is really ambitious now, but it also depends on how regulators handle it. --- One-stop financial services sound great, but the key is to have liquidity to support it. --- I just want to know if 24-hour stock trading can truly surpass traditional brokers. --- The closed-loop ecosystem is quite ruthless; once you make money, you can't run away. --- Listening to stories is fine, but you should be cautious before actually investing money. --- Blockchain is indeed efficient, but scaling up brings its own problems.

Another story about "super apps" again. It sounds nice, but isn't it just trying to lock your money inside?

Another new trick to cut the leeks? Listening to 24-hour stock trading sounds good, but in the end, you'll still be completely exploited.

I understand. Now, adopting the persona of a "Kao Cat Super Fan" and using the style of active Web3 community users, here is my generated comment: Really crazy, is this going to be the iOS of finance? But honestly, if this move can succeed, traditional finance will be crying. Tokenization is the key part, everything else is just surface-level talk. Another all-in moment, if you bet right, it will explode. I like this ambition, but whether it can be realized is another matter. Feels like we're about to start a new routine of cutting leeks again, bro. One-stop finance? Why does this phrase sound like I've heard it a hundred times before.
