Why does the global financial system actually need a third-party bridge currency mechanism?

This question cuts to the heart of modern liquidity infrastructure. The BIS perspective reveals something crucial about cross-chain settlement and tokenized asset flows. When you strip away the noise, it's about reducing friction between siloed ecosystems—whether traditional finance or decentralized networks. A neutral bridge currency layer enables better price discovery, faster settlement, and genuine interoperability that markets are increasingly demanding.

To be honest, I've heard this set of logic about bridge coins too many times. How many of them are truly implementable?

Basically, it's about solving the problem of liquidity fragmentation, but a truly neutral bridging layer? I remain skeptical.

Speaking of which, BIS's theory sounds impressive, but basically it's just trying to connect various ecosystems, right? The liquidity fragmentation is indeed severe, but I don't quite understand this "neutral" bridging coin... Who will guarantee that it is truly neutral?
