The 100 Trillion Dollars Problem

canton-network:native THE $100 TRILLION DOLLAR PROBLEM šŸ‘€

What if the biggest blockchain opportunity isn’t crypto speculation… but the financial system itself?

Over $100T sits inside global financial markets — stocks, bonds, Treasuries, collateral and more.

But much of the infrastructure moving that value remains fragmented.

Different institutions.
Different systems.
Different databases.

@CantonNetwork is trying to change that.

Its vision is to connect institutional financial applications while maintaining privacy, permissioning and regulatory requirements.

And then there’s CC.

Critics see the minting mechanism and say:
ā€œUnlimited supply = unlimited inflation.ā€

But they’re only looking at half the equation.

Canton uses a burn-and-mint model.

Network activity generates fees that are burned, permanently removing CC from circulation, while new CC is issued as rewards.

So here’s the interesting part:

If network activity eventually grows enough that CC burned > CC minted, the network could become net deflationary.

And issuance isn’t static either.

Canton’s schedule includes halvings, with the next major reduction currently expected around 2029.

So you have:

šŸ“ˆ More institutional activity
šŸ”„ More potential CC burned
šŸ“‰ Declining issuance over time
šŸ¦ Growing tokenization of financial assets

The question isn’t simply:

ā€œDoes CC have a fixed maximum supply?ā€

The bigger question is:

How much real financial activity can Canton ultimately capture?

Because if the network becomes part of the infrastructure moving trillions…

the economics could look very different from what critics assume.

And this is only the beginning. šŸ‘€ @YuvalRooz
