A Cynical Theory: anyone with the power, money and government connections needed to disrupt Wall St. will choose instead to join Wall St. when the option is given to them. Fight the good fight or join the party? Those who aren't willing to make the right choice will be weeded out of the system before they are influential enough to disrupt. Any techniques used by outsiders who try to disrupt the party anyway will be made illegal through regulations, trademarks, patents, contract law or legislation drafted by lobbyists and rubber stamped by well-funded politicians.
I can think of a less cynical and more hopeful view too but I think it's something anyone entering this space needs to be aware of. I don't think it's a technology problem.
