Digital security tokens – the future of capital markets
Eventually, every stock, bond, currency and commodity will be tokenized and traded peer-to-peer via a Blockchain.
What is tokenization?
A representation of an asset by unique identification characters allowing the ownerships rights to be transferred and recorded on a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network, i.e. the Blockchain.
What can be Tokenized?
Corporate Bonds – Total Market Cap $52 trillion
Sharia Compliant Sukuk – Total Market Cap $21 trillion
Units in Venture Capital Funds/ Private Equity Firms
Shares in Company – Total Market Cap $65 trillion
Property – Total Market Cap $217 trillion
Alternative Assets: Arts & Antiques, Commodities, IP Rights, Sports Clubs
Ok, what companies do you see as leaders in this transformation?

Ok, so tokenization allows a security to be attached to an individual through a decentralized peer to peer ledger whereas the current system uses a Cusip number and “street name” registration, and all securities are held by the Depository Trust Company or Cede and Co. The plus is definitely the exit of the intermediary banks, but you do have to secure the tokens yourself. I don’t know enough about it yet. The few headlines I read re bitcoins being hacked, lost, or stolen gives me pause, but it definitely looks like the right direction given the last 100 years of bank history.
The security issues have been largely addressed by the industry. Hacking is becoming less and less likely. On Chain ID and other apps make hacking impossible.
Mr. Spock what would you expect to be the timeline for the transformation of tokenization to occur, ie. years, decades, etc.?
Its already under way. Give it 3 years to become in the mainstream. And 5 years to be the default structure of capital markets.
X R P Nothing like doubling your money in a month! Still very early in this process. ALL THE MONEY
Spock is right, they will tokenize everything. All this talk of countries looking at and testing is BS. They tested 5 years ago. They are ready to deploy now.
