[Complete Anatomy] What is the key to next-generation infrastructure, 'LOOP'? Explaining the 'reality of trading' at the institutional investor level

In our previous article, we discussed how 'LOOP' is the key to accessing the depths of the next-generation financial infrastructure (Canton Network) being driven by Nasdaq and SBI.

We received a huge response from many people, with numerous questions such as, 'I understand the importance of the infrastructure. But how exactly do you use this 'LOOP'? What is happening on the other side of the screen?'

Today, without using any specialized programming jargon, I will explain how LOOP actually works and what kind of massive waves of money are created there in an easy-to-understand way, incorporating concrete use cases.

The decisive difference from MetaMask: The 'place you take it (network)' is different

If you have ever touched cryptocurrency, you have likely used a wallet like 'MetaMask.' In fact, MetaMask and 'LOOP' are the same in that they are 'self-custody' wallets where you manage the keys to your assets yourself.

However, where you walk with that wallet (the network environment you connect to) is completely different.

MetaMask is like carrying a leather wallet stuffed with cash and walking around a 'lawless flea market (public chain)' where anyone can do business with their face hidden. While anyone can connect freely, on the other hand, if you take one wrong step, you are constantly at risk of connecting to a malicious scam site and having your entire balance drained just by making one wrong signature.

On the other hand, 'LOOP' is like a safe with a dedicated passport for entering a super-secure 'membership-only private financial market (Canton Network)' that only large corporations and institutional investors who have passed strict identity verification (KYC) can enter.

The Canton Network that LOOP connects to is a 'secure network where the identities and rules of participants are guaranteed.' Therefore, there is no room for dangerous apps (malicious smart contracts) created by unknown hackers or scammers to enter.

And what is traded within this secure market is not suspicious digital data like 'shitcoins.'

Around the world, 'real-world assets (RWA: real estate, bonds, unlisted stocks, etc.),' as well as 'tokenized gold that can be traded 24/7/365,' stablecoins that meet institutional investor standards, and CBTC (institutionally managed wrapped Bitcoin) will be traded safely within this safe as digital tokens.

[Concrete Example] Trading a '500 million yen revenue apartment building' in the city center using LOOP

So, what kind of transactions actually take place when you open LOOP? Let's compare real-world transactions with transactions on LOOP, using a '500 million yen revenue apartment building in the city center,' which is familiar to investors, as an example.

▼ Real-world transactions (the conventional wisdom so far) Suppose you buy a revenue property for 500 million yen. A real estate agent gets involved, you stamp thick contracts, a judicial scrivener confirms the registration, and it takes weeks to months to complete the payment and handover via a bank. Just the brokerage fees alone cost tens of millions of yen, and a huge amount of 'time' is wasted. Also, conventional securities and financial markets have had restrictions on business hours, and there was an 'infrastructure constraint' where trading stopped on weekends and at night.

▼ Transactions using LOOP (the reality of the next generation) Suppose the ownership (or revenue rights) of this apartment building exists as a 'digital token' on the secure Canton Network. You open 'LOOP.' On the screen, the '500 million yen worth of digital dollars (USDC, etc.)' you hold and the 'apartment token' the other party holds are displayed.

On LOOP, you execute a smart contract (automatic contract program) that says, 'I will exchange my 500 million yen worth of digital dollars for your apartment token'.

At that moment, what happens? 'The funds being transferred to the other party' and 'the apartment token arriving to you' are executed [simultaneously] without a second of error. (This is technically called DvP, or 'atomic settlement'.)

The settlement time lag (time gap) that used to take weeks disappears, and the process is completed in 'T+0 (instant settlement).' The risk of 'paying money but not having the property handed over (being run off with)' becomes [physically zero] within the system.

Expensive brokers, waiting times for judicial scriveners, and complicated bank procedures are unnecessary. On the LOOP screen of your smartphone or PC, 500 million yen worth of real assets move from anywhere in the world, at lightning speed, and with absolute security with a single tap.

And behind this 'next-generation securities and asset market that never sleeps, 24/7/365', Calypso, the core system of the massive financial institution acquired by Nasdaq, is already integrated with the Canton Network. Renowned megabanks and massive infrastructure companies (validators) are supporting this foundation of tamper-proof trading.

The perspective of the 'organizer (house)' rather than the 'user'

What do you think? I hope you now understand that LOOP is not just a 'cryptocurrency wallet', but a 'direct gateway to a next-generation securities exchange' that fundamentally disrupts and reconstructs traditional financial mechanisms.

And this is where I really want to get through to you. I don't mean to say, 'Let's use this powerful tool called LOOP to conveniently buy real estate or gold.'

The perspective that professional business people and investors should be looking at is 'to become the side (the house) that creates the scheme to bring massive assets (real estate and bonds) onto the network using this powerful infrastructure called LOOP, and distribute them to investors around the world.'.

How much vast 'fee interest' and 'business opportunity' lies dormant there. Those with a keen sense should already be aware.

Finally: This is not a story about the 'future'

I hope you have understood a part of the mechanism of how the 'key to digital infrastructure (LOOP)' connects with the real economy (RWA) and moves massive amounts of money together with giant capital like Nasdaq.

And I will tell you the most important fact. This is not a 'vision of the future to come in a few years'. It is a reality that is already operating in progress.

Currently, inside LOOP's robust vault, in addition to CC (Canton Coin) and CBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin), various stablecoins that meet strict criteria are already available so that institutional investors can move huge amounts of funds with peace of mind.

• USDCx: A stablecoin with Circle-certified backing and privacy protection

• CUSD: A Frax-backed stablecoin that buys back CC with operating profits

• SBC: A multi-chain compatible stablecoin that is fully compliant with US regulations

• USDXLR: A yield-bearing stablecoin operated with US Treasuries held by BNY Mellon

Furthermore, LOOP is not just a storage vault for assets, but is already seamlessly connectable to a group of cutting-edge next-generation financial services. What is noteworthy is that these are not just 'convenient apps', but function as 'indispensable pieces of infrastructure' for institutional investors to circulate huge amounts of funds.

• Temple Digital / Conton Pay / Silvana Book (Trading Infrastructure)

  • Overview: A digital asset trading and advanced order book trading platform for institutional investors that operates 24/7/365.

  • Why is it necessary?: Even if tokenized assets (RWA) exist, they are just a pipe dream without a 'liquidity sink that can buy and sell large volumes instantly at fair prices.' It destroys the constraint of existing stock exchanges where 'trading is not possible outside of hours' and becomes the 'core' for establishing a market that never sleeps.

• EA Finance (Lending Market)

  • Overview: A compliant and secure on-chain lending (borrowing and lending) market collateralized by RWA (Real World Assets).

  • Why is it necessary?: Simply holding tokenized real estate or US Treasuries results in poor capital efficiency. An engine for 'credit creation (leverage)' is essential to generate new investment capital without letting go of assets by instantly borrowing stablecoins against them as collateral.

• Axymos / XNS (Identity Infrastructure)

  • Overview: A dedicated identity service that converts complex blockchain addresses into human-readable names like 'xx.canton'.

  • Why is it necessary?: When institutional investors move tens of billions of yen, the risk of remittance errors (human error) is unacceptable with inorganic addresses like '0x1a2b...'. It functions as a 'digital seal' to clearly prove 'who' the counterparty is and to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering measures and the like.

• Unhedged (Prediction Market)

  • Overview: A prediction market platform where you can predict and trade the results of real-world events (politics, interest rate trends, markets, etc.).

  • Why is it necessary?: It functions not merely as gambling, but as a sophisticated financial derivatives market for professional investors to hedge (insure) against 'future uncertain risks (e.g., interest rate fluctuations due to election results)', thereby absorbing risks across the entire ecosystem.

The massive financial ecosystem is already on the verge of completing the puzzle, moving at a speed far faster than we imagine.

However, how does one get on the 'initiating side' of this massive infrastructure that has already begun to move, and what kind of scheme is actually used to build positions? This is not the kind of superficial information you find by searching on the internet.

While I work on physical infrastructure deals, I am also moving to build a 'certain framework' at the forefront of this next-generation digital infrastructure to draw massive Japanese capital (smart money) into the ecosystem.

I may be able to show you an even deeper view of the behind-the-scenes, including how this 'key' will be used in the Japanese market.

Until next time.
