Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node, said March 20 that the migration of financial activity onto blockchain will increase demand for fast, accurate, and verifiable data infrastructure. Coelho argued that Edge & Node’s Amp is the next standard for serving that need.
The shift toward blockchain-based assets has drawn attention from both technology providers and traditional financial institutions. According to State Street’s 2025 Digital Assets Outlook, a majority of institutional investors expect their digital asset exposure to increase over the next three years, with more than half anticipating that 10% to 24% of their portfolios could be tokenized by 2030. The survey indicates growing interest from traditional financial institutions in blockchain-based assets and infrastructure.
Coelho said, “All of finance is going onchain, and they need fast and accurate data. We invented onchain data indexing technology with Subgraphs in 2018, and it became the global standard. We’ve now reinvented the new standard, called Amp. All of tradfi will use it. Mark my words,” he said on X.
According to Coelho’s company, Edge & Node, Amp is designed to turn smart contract events into structured SQL tables, with built-in handling for chain reorganizations that can otherwise complicate blockchain analytics. The pitch for the product is aimed at teams that need reliable, queryable onchain data without building their own ingestion pipelines from scratch.
Subgraphs remain widely used for organizing and querying blockchain data. The Graph describes them as open APIs that help developers pull the specific onchain data they need for dashboards, charts, and other applications across a global indexing network. That broader usage helps explain why Edge & Node is framing Amp as the next step in blockchain data infrastructure.
Binance and Franklin Templeton announced a collaboration in September 2025 to develop digital asset initiatives and tokenized products, combining Franklin Templeton’s work in tokenization with Binance’s trading infrastructure and global reach. The partnership is one example of traditional financial firms and major crypto platforms building products that rely on accessible, trustworthy onchain data.
Rodrigo Coelho is CEO of Edge & Node, the core development team behind The Graph, and has a career that stretches from founding startups in the late 1990s to helping build one of Web3’s best-known blockchain data protocols. In a 2025 interview, he said his path into crypto grew out of earlier entrepreneurial work and a long-running interest in decentralized internet infrastructure.
