    Capital markets are undergoing a structural realignment, moving from isolated experiments to a cohesive, investable thesis. This shift is defined by the convergence of three infrastructure layers: issuer, settlement, and liquidity. While issuance has become increasingly commoditized, the real work is happening in the plumbing—the rails that allow assets to move and settle with institutional…
