XDC Network is using blockchain to modernize trade finance by tokenizing invoices, enabling stablecoin settlement, and reducing costs for SMEs. The XDC token serves as a utility and governance token for staking and network support. As institutional adoption grows (e.g., Deutsche Telecom, SPI Holdings, Hashkey running validators) and the network's total addressable market is $15 trillion annually, demand for the XDC token is expected to increase.
