Public blockchains face a key adoption barrier: excessive transparency. While public ledgers offer auditability, businesses and institutions need privacy protections for sensitive transactions, such as safeguarding supply chain data from competitors. New solutions like Starknet's planned strkBTC aim to bridge this gap by adding confidentiality layers to assets like Bitcoin, enabling selective disclosure while meeting compliance requirements and protecting trade secrets. This shift toward protocol-level privacy is seen as a crucial factor in enabling blockchain-supported institutional finance to facilitate large-scale private capital flows.
