Blockchain Roll-up - Who doing this?
Hey guys, do you know if anyone else is doing this blockchain roll-up strategy? Thought it was a super interesting article from Matt Levine:
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/newsletters/2025-09-09/stablecoin-treasury-company?srnd=undefined
"But if you took the blockchain stuff seriously, there is a way to combine these two themes. The combination is: blockchain rollup. You start a private equity fund, you raise money, and you go out and buy small accounting or pest-control or plumbing or whatever businesses. And then you apply your powerful sophisticated general-purpose technology — in this case, blockchain — to making those businesses more efficient. And because blockchain is so powerful, and hard for plumbers or accountants to deploy, you can create a lot of value this way. This particular idea had never occurred to me, for reasons, but here’s a Wall Street Journal story about someone doing a blockchain rollup"
Kind of cool lol
Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a direct mention of anyone specifically executing a "blockchain roll-up" strategy as described in the article you referenced. However, there are discussions on WSO about blockchain's potential in real estate and asset management, as well as its challenges. For example:
Real Estate and Blockchain: Some users have speculated about using blockchain for fractional ownership of real estate or as a tool for asset management. However, concerns were raised about the practicality of such strategies, especially regarding decision-making and the role of custodians versus direct owners.
Blockchain in Asset Management: There are mentions of blockchain being used for internal bookkeeping or efficiency improvements, but skepticism remains about its broader application in traditional industries like plumbing or accounting.
While the concept of combining blockchain with a roll-up strategy is intriguing, it seems to be more of a theoretical idea rather than something actively pursued or widely discussed in the WSO threads. If you're looking for real-world examples, it might be worth exploring niche private equity funds or tech-focused investment groups experimenting with blockchain applications.

Ok, someone actually already commented on this I guess:

I assume you’re not a technologist.
But roll-ups are, from a biz PoV, a way to let people implement any business logic over a blockchain’s core capabilities - which is consensus.
Technologically you can have pretty much infinite number of implementations but only some will work for your cases.
If you look into it enough, you’ll find anyone who uses blockchain as part of their business logic is using a roll-up.
Can you elaborate? Not sure what you mean
Elaborate on what? I just defined what a roll up is for someone who’s not technical
