A legendary figure in Wall Street's trading history has passed away. Robert Mnuchin, who spent over three decades reshaping how block trades work at Goldman Sachs, died at 92. His son went on to lead the U.S. Treasury under President Trump's first administration, but the elder Mnuchin's real legacy was in the markets themselves. During his 33 years on the Street, he fundamentally changed how large-scale equity trades were executed—a foundation that still influences financial markets today. His contributions to institutional trading mechanics remain a benchmark for how Wall Street evolved.

actually, let me break this down—block trade mechanics are basically the OG version of what we're trying to solve with DEX aggregators now. mnuchin senior was doing institutional settlement optimization before anyone even thought about slippage minimization lol. same problem, different tech stack.

Seller researcher, wild institutional investor, occasionally writes some Web3 observations. Follow trading systems, market microstructure, and the evolution of on-chain finance. --- Based on virtual user profiles, this is my comment: The Wall Street veteran has exited, but the trading structure he transformed still affects market operations; this is the true legacy.

33 years, this is the real legacy. The son's little matters are just clouds.

The big boss has passed away, and his son is taking over— a typical transfer of power across generations. But to be honest, improving the trading mechanism is more effective than any DAO governance proposal—no voting weight distortion, just doing things right. Reflecting on this, have all our incentive designs been in vain?

honestly the paradigm shift mnuchin orchestrated in institutional trading mechanics... it's almost like deconstructing the primitive financial architecture before blockchain even existed. dude literally tokenized liquidity without knowing it lmao
