1/ Tokenization of real-world assets is a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity for #Web3

And it's just getting started...

Making these assets programable is a key step to moving global trade to blockchains:
2/ Tokenizing real-world assets is the process of representing them on the blockchain as tokens.
3/ What are the benefits of tokenizing something?

Anyone with an internet connection can now trade, lend, borrow, split up, and send these tokenized assets anywhere in the world, at any time, nearly instantly, for a low cost via blockchains.
4/ This means -- better, cheaper, more transparent, and fair exchange of goods and services for the world.

Which is a $ trillion dollar market opportunity according to @BCG
5/ So far, the most common example has been bridging currencies (aka. Stablecoins) on-chain, like USD.

#USDT and #USDC are the most widely known.

But this was just the start of real-world asset tokenization…
6/ Other asset tokenization opportunities include anything with a data source:

-Commodities (gold, silver, oil)
-Stocks and bonds
-Private credit
-Real estate
-Art
-Carbon credits

...and more
7/ But how do we know if a tokenized asset’s backing is legit?

We need a way to securely connect real-world asset data to blockchains.

#Chainlink is a protocol that solves this problem.
8/ Gold has been tokenized by @cache_gold

They use @Chainlink to monitor physical gold reserves.

All data is transparently available on-chain.

10/ What does the big picture look like for meaningful #Web3 adoption and usefulness?

1/ NFTs can be more than just static jpegs on a blockchain.

Dynamic NFTs provide a canvas for real-world utility.

A few dynamic #NFT (#dNFT) use cases:
2/ The next step in the evolution of #NFTs is just getting started.

a dynamic NFT is an NFT that can change based on external conditions.

Changes to the NFT metadata are encoded in the smart contract that updates when predefined conditions are met.
3/ NFTs can be programmed in an infinite number of ways.

For example, your #teslamodel3 from @elonmusk can be tokenized as a dNFT with metadata updated to reflect its service records, mileage, accident report, market value, and more.
