PANews, September 29: a16z crypto has released a research report titled “Blockchains Create Net New Markets,” stating that historically, the constraints on market growth have always been on the supply side—listing committees, legal frameworks, and geographic fragmentation—rather than demand. Blockchain technology, for the first time, enables supply to keep pace with global potential demand through permissionless issuance and global distribution. The report cites data showing that on-chain RWA perpetual contract volumes reached an annualized $1.4 trillion in July, accounting for approximately half of Hyperliquid’s order book; during the oil price shock in February this year, while CME was closed, WTI remained one of the most liquid markets globally on trade.xyz, and pre-IPO markets such as Cerebras and SpaceX demonstrated more accurate pricing than investment banks.
