Yo, what's up everyone welcome back to unknown color with icy and flame. How's everyone doing this Sunday?
Yeah, yep. Thank you. I see I'll be last flame. We lost our co-hosts. Yo
Good Sunday for crypto great Sunday for crypto. I'd say we're not red
Yo who in here who in here actually got into quant?
Did anyone get into quant before it?
You got in Devon. Yeah, shout out. Shout out Leo Bluewater for Leo got you in that
When did you get in Devon?
Well, I was first in like back in 2020, but then I got rid of it all like last year
Uh, and then Leo reminded me about it like three days ago
You were in quant in 2020? Yeah, there was like
six months
He's like some social media influencer was talking about it a lot
Back in the day and I literally fell for everything you're saying
Well, dude, he was right
I sold it sometimes and I got bad news for you Devon. He was right, man
Well, no, I mean, I got back in, you know, thankfully we got some
We got some really smart people in this community
Yeah, so for those of you who don't know
this week
The quant network
They signed a deal with the clearinghouse which is the us banks payment processor
And basically what that gives them the authority to do is partner with these banks
And connects them directly with basically any any blockchain that they want to partner with
So if a bank is trying to transact in eth or soul or xrp even
instead of having to develop the framework for
Those three blockchains separately
They connect directly to
What's it called? What's their product called it's called
Overledger yep over ledger
They can connect directly to over ledger and over ledger will basically connect those banks
Directly to any blockchain. It's like the middleman kind of
You in that you in that as well, day right?
Yeah, and in quant. Yeah, I just wanted to clarify that the banks have had a relationship with quant for two years now
and the pump happened
after the birth mortgage was put on the blockchain
and the
regulated liability network through the quant network
Yep
and the initiative with
With the clearinghouse was just announced a couple days ago, right 24th
No, they've had
Well
Was that publicly announced recently?
They've they've they've had a relationship with quant for some time through
hackathons and rfes which is public knowledge I believe
and
That information has been public for a couple of years now
but they're the relationship
I don't know when they made their public announcement regarding the clearinghouse relationship. I just know that
uh
Like two or so days after or maybe the day after I was in
Feebospace
They did their first mortgage and I think their first loan on the rln which was facilitated by quant
Yeah, yep. I'm reading here the
The on-chain money initiative with clearinghouse and quant was announced September 24th, so
I'm sure I'm sure those two events were related the first mortgage and that and that the opening sign but super super bullish news
Another interesting thing I read is that I think like 80% of the token is actually held by quant right now
Not sure how that's gonna. I mean it definitely makes it easy for for squeezes like this to happen on bullish news
But I don't know how that how that will take to long-term
sustainability
What's up? The
So the relationship between the token and like its value with uh, yep. Yeah. Yeah, so as
As more bandwidth comes through on the quant network the banks are paying a licensing fee
quant and
Facilitate essentially
It you have to use quant as gas
so to facilitate a cross-chain
Payload you have to pay in quant and as you
You're you know facilitating more transactions
tend receive as more clients
um
and consumer clients have their
Assets whether or not they even know it they're all of their assets will be on chain and the relationship between their on-chain assets and
Like the billions of users in the rlm
All of that bandwidth is going to drive the price of quant up because you're essentially paying for a license to use quant
To facilitate cross-chain messaging and you know, we saw the token pump from
80 dollars on shebo space to today. I think it's like three or four hundred dollars
Uh, and that's just seeing one or two users have their assets on chain
But the rlm has billions and billions of users and tens and tens of trillions of dollars under management
So what will see happen is we'll see all of those assets come on chain and then lending will be
Facilitated through the quant network with the banks paying for the over ledger
Set in receive function in quant which will drive the price of quant up as more users come on the network
Yep, so the light the licensing fee itself also has to be paid in quant so it's it's got a
Pre-determined fiat value, so
Whatever that is is converted into quant and then used to pay for the license itself and I guess now
Like dick said the gas is also being paid in quant
Uh, which makes sense, but the total supply of quant is is 14.88 million
and
Given the potential for the volume of transactions that it's basically built for and intended for
Uh, if that is realized that basically means that this token could
Be the highest value token
Right. Yeah, it is by a long shot the entire clearinghouse is about to be facilitated to an on chain connection through quant
Like the entire clearinghouse we're talking
You know trillions hot no hundreds of trillions like yeah, it's it's basically
Yeah, it's it's gonna be it's gonna get a send I mean
Not financial advice, you know my position which is based on fundamental
Technology understanding and banking relationships and financial markets is
Just that you know quant is gonna get this and because
It's the clearing house. It's like you're taking the clearinghouse and you're putting it on chain
Well, where are you putting it on chain through quant? Oh, okay, so quant is the new
Web three version of clearinghouse and
You know banks will have their own networks. They'll control their own nodes
But outside messaging in and out of that bank is gonna be facilitated through quant
Yeah, absolutely and even if I mean you look back to 2021
Quant actually saw higher prices than we're seeing right now
And its capabilities aren't nearly what it is today. So
definitely definitely a huge huge potential here. I'm just confused why the total
Why would you build something that's that's meant to be
uh, you know such a significant
Financial instrument and only have 14 million supply. I don't know
It seems kind of
Conner is why drives the price of the underlining token up
So with a lower supply the demand going up especially the bandwidth the man going up
That's gonna drive the licensing fees off that's gonna drive
less negotiations and you know certain commitments
Anybody who's operating a node for quant that's facilitating
Payloads for the clearinghouse is gonna be driving the price of quant up because there's such a
Low supply sign and the demand is about to be the entire planet
Right, so if if every single bank
At least for now in in the US and then eventually you know further
Is gonna want you know their own supply of quant then why would it be limited at 14 million like XRPs?
You know the supply is significantly higher
Well, it doesn't really matter why it's more you know understand
It's like more important to understand that a it's gonna happen and then be what does that relationship mean for the token itself
Right, so basically you would need an insanely high
Price of an individual token and then these transactions would be done and and just
fractions of a token
Yeah exactly
You see the decimal move
if the decimal moves on
the
The price of the the token and I mean just as that decimal moves one decimal
Moving is is basically giga-send territory. I mean the clearinghouse is no joke you that's like how many
Assets go through the clearinghouse a day like a trillion or so. I mean, it's it's a big
Yeah, it's 1.8 trillion a day a day. That's the entire crypto market moving through the clearinghouse a day except
Exchange clearinghouse now with quann
so that limited supplies
Is gonna go nutty which it is going nutty already and it's only been three people who have been on the network
It's still it's still in an early developmental
Period where you know like we're still 18 months away from banks having their ledger systems on chain
But when they come on chain those you know on chain banks at least the rl that which by the way is mostly European bank is gonna be
Going through quann so they've already they've already got transactions going in Europe as well
Yeah, so the rl and the regulated liability network which is a conglomeration of like 10 or so banks that
All have their own trillions of dollars under management
are your is basically through the
Central bank the I forget the name of the grapefruit the grapefruit and central bank, but
The central bank has a relationship with the commercial banks and the commercial banks are in a group of the rl
And they do technology development together as like a cohort and that cohort has decided on
doing transactions
Not only through quann but primarily through quann as a sort of interoperator of
Solana aetherium like any chain that exists can run through quann
Like you can if it doesn't already exist you could build it so
That rl and european banking conglomeration is bringing billions of users and
You know hundreds of trillions of dollars eventually online through
Quann network as I understand it
Yeah, so
Thank you've been in in quant for a while it seems um, so you've got the rl and in the uk europe
And now you've got the clearinghouse in the us
Uh using um quann
Are they looking to
kind of
Take not take over but get into the territory that swift is currently operating so cross border payments, you know
well the clearinghouse and swift interoperate so uh, I believe those entities are coming online and it seems like now
uh america's
banking infrastructure is going to be operating on quann and we already have
The rl and
Network operating in europe so
Basically the biggest financial sectors in the world are going to be running technology through
Quann which is in my opinion gigabolish
Yeah, that that is gigabolish um the first question that comes to my mind is
This kind of seems like
um
What xrp not exactly was trying to do but um well xrp has a sense of domain xrp has a central bank
Relationships so central banks communicating to central banks use xrp's ledger
commercial banks, which is the rl and
And now america is
Is using or excuse me these are at least for the rl and is a commercial bank related so
Bank to consumer so they're different banking segments in the banking apparatus one is
Central bank to central bank the other is commercial bank to consumer and commercial bank to business
So do you do you think that this movement and this the recent news for quann affects xrp at all?
Is it is it bullish for xrp in your opinion? Is it is it barish or does it not really affect it much?
I'm not too dialed
