Not really, most of the centralized ones could just be replaced with a mysql server and have the same properties. Notable exception being some of the proof-of-stake schemes, but its not like that's a scaling tradeoff but a totally different approach.

And 64k memory should be enough for everybody but banks can't share a single MySQL database.

They can try, but they would need an impartial intermediary.

As someone that got shafted by the gme shutdown, I would have loved to be trading over a block chain unimpeded by "regulatory oversight".
