How does a regular database not do that?
Either it's tracked or its not, the medium for that tracking doesn't really change much.
It probably doubles the amount of times they can do it.
There is no "regular database" running these exchanges because they're based on paper. That's another reason for tokenizing and using a public ledger.
I'm sure someone out there is running something on paper still, but that's not how most things are run.
Additionally, unless people are legally required to do all exchanges on the public ledger (which seems highly unlikely), then you'd still end up with transactions not monitored on the public ledger.
