Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset and co-founder of the Canton Network, has criticized smart contract blockchains for a disconnect between their valuations and actual financial usage. Rooz argues that many networks are valued based on future promises rather than current economic activity, highlighting a lack of real-world financial throughput. He emphasizes the need for smart contract platforms to demonstrate substantial cash flow if they are to serve as the future infrastructure of global finance. Rooz points out that many smart contract networks were designed for retail speculation rather than institutional financial workflows, leading to inflated valuations without corresponding economic activity. He contrasts this with Canton's approach, which focuses on privacy, compliance, and interoperability for financial institutions. Canton’s tokenomics are designed to reflect the network's dollar utility, with transaction fees burning tokens and incentivizing real economic activity. Rooz also notes that while the broader crypto market often values speculative tokens, there is a shift towards platforms that generate revenue and demonstrate growth. He argues that the market is beginning to demand more rational economic structures, with a focus on utility and real financial infrastructure. Canton coin (CC) is currently trading at $0.1538, with a market cap of approximately $6 billion.
