The exchanges, clearing houses, settlement systems and depositories behind every trade (financial market infrastructures, or FMIs) earn about $31.5bn a year.
Our new Solana Research Institute report works out how much of that survives when the same business runs on public blockchains. If regulation stops protecting the incumbents, we estimate they keep about $11.2bn, with the other $20.3bn going to users as lower costs or to new competitors.
We also found that new onchain services could come close to replacing that revenue, which raises the question of who wins them 🧵

Private payments are live on @solana mainnet, with built-in wallet screening.
Range supports the compliance flows for @Helius Privacy Rings, so apps can encrypt balances while still screening who they transact with.
Get in touch if you're launching private payments and need wallet screening from day one.

I was existentially worried for the future of Solana for the past few years given its lack of privacy
so we took action, joined forces with the best ZK devs on Solana, and built the solution
importantly, execution is *on Solana*, not an L2 or secondary network
let's win
