Seven. Two exchanges, a hardware wallet, a hot wallet, a portfolio tracker, a tax tool, and a yield aggregator. Each with its own login, its own UI, its own way of showing me what I own. None of them talk to each other.
I pulled my friend into crypto last year. He lasted three weeks before going back to his Vanguard account. His reason: "I just want to see my money in one place and do something with it without needing a tutorial every time."
He's right. We've built an incredible set of financial tools but they're scattered across dozens of apps that each solve one piece of the problem. I've been tracking some teams building unified interfaces where different financial services connect as modules inside one account. The ones using AI to handle the complexity are the most interesting to me. Curious whether anyone else thinks consolidation is the next big unlock for adoption or if the fragmented app model is just how this works.
I counted how many apps I use just to manage my crypto

The teams getting it right are treating crypto more like an operating system than a set of apps. Quietly handling wallets, routing, and execution behind the scenes. That’s where AI can actually help by reducing decision fatigue and translating complexity into simple actions. Still early, but if something like that clicks, it’s the kind of shift that could bring people like your friend back. Platforms like Blueblocx are starting to explore that direction, which is why it’s getting attention from more experienced users.
