For those who are still wondering where ATOM could derive value from its utility, look no further than the existing investment banking related services. A topic that we have covered quite a number of times in this forum. An high-level overview is shared in this post: > [@ATOM Accelerator DAO Transparency Report 6](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/atom-accelerator-dao-transparency-report-6/13807/8): > > It’s encouraging to witness an increasing number of financial related operations in the Hub’s vicinity, a trend we predicted approximately a year ago. The Hub, a decentralized banking infrastructure built around atom’s unit of account, holds a first-mover advantage in its sphere of influence. Indeed, while not in direct competition with EigenLayer, which serves as a secure vault, the Hub aims to replicate traditional investment banking services in a decentralized manner. This creates business o… For a deeper dive in this investment banking thesis for the Hub, we would recommend reading our full report on the Cosmos Ecosystem as a decentralized B2B2C network (business to business to customer): > [@Cosmos Ecosystem : A permissionless B2B2C network](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/cosmos-ecosystem-a-permissionless-b2b2c-network/12459): > > Below is a text transcript summarizing our report, which outlines our comprehensive vision for the long-term development of Cosmos and the Hub. To streamline the content, we have intentionally omitted the section explaining the Cosmos tech stack & validators role, under the assumption that members in this forum are already familiar with the fundamental components such as IBC, ICS, relaying, etc. For those interested in the complete document, you can access and download the PDF version [here](https://pro-indicators.com/Trustless_B2B2C_Network.pdf). PRE… * * * Naturally, this represents solely our perspective and input on the intricate matter of enhancing utility for the Hub. However, recent developments have only reinforced our initial projections, at least up to this juncture. We’re keen to observe what the future holds and challenge the validity of our hypothesis. * * * Thanks for reading !
