Hey DEFI TIMES community,
On Monday, you learned about Ocean Protocol. The project tokenizes data on the blockchain. Data is the most valuable resource on the internet. Companies like Facebook are worth trillions of dollars just because they own and sell your data.
Blockchain technologies give your data liquid value. Suddenly, you can trade your data on exchanges, pay your bills with it, and lend it to someone else.
This is just the beginning. We will see the tokenization of many more things in the future. Everything of value will be tradeable on the internet: data, property, licenses, equity, and debt are just a few well-known examples.
Here is where it gets interesting: imagine buying Apple stock and putting it on Uniswap as a liquidity provider. You will earn twice as much as before: dividends and trading fees.
Once you tokenize anything, it will immediately become more valuable because it can be used in the decentralized financial ecosystem.
You could potentially put your property in a Maker vault and take out a loan. Isn't this easier than visiting a commercial bank?
This is so mind-blowingly easy that I expect everything of value to be tokenized over the next 20 years.
Once we solved the scaling problems, there will be no reason to use the old financial system anymore.
Game over!
