Read the report, it's 2 trillion of revenue for payments only, not all of finance. That report doesn't cover trading, derivatives, mortgages, etc... 1 trillion of payments revenue comes from credit lines, about 1 trillion is fees moving money around.
Bitcoin is just one settlement layer. There is no reason for my day to day transactions to settle there. My day to day payments can be settlement on a chain with much higher throughput and faster finality and different security assumptions.
There is also no reason why I can't lend my funds to 100m user credit cards directly without a middleman through software either.
So whats the cost comparison of moving $100,000 out of China into the the US via bitcoin vs the traditional banking system?
