I'm not really a fan of crypto landing platforms, but one thing many forget about cryptocurrencies is that they do have one intrinsic value = extreme liquidity.

How fast can you get lending users to put $100 million to a billion into your non-blockchain platform? Maybe 5 years, with VC money for marketing?

Now compare that with how fast you can do it with a blockchain crypto platform. And it's still very early days = "small" amounts of money being put into crypto compared to what it's going to be 5 years from now.

Do you mean a stock sale? Once it's passed all SEC certifications and so on for going public and done your IPO, a company can do that in as simply as filing a form with the SEC and directing the sale of the stocks.
