Cashflow on the Blockchain Part I: Tokenized Debt and Security Tokens

Too Long; Didn't Read

I regularly get asked what areas I find more exciting about security tokens and I always answer with a single line: <em>“the ones we are not working on right now” 😊</em>. Beyond the sarcasm, that statement clearly reflects my philosophy when comes to security tokens. I tend to think about security tokens as an enabler to create a new generation of securities that are impossible in the off-chain world. From that perspective, I tend to be more excited about imagining new forms of crypto-securities than creating digital wrappers of existing ones. Whereas the pragmatist in me recognizes that we are still years away from having an infrastructure that allow us to re-imagine digital securities, there are immediate use cases that can catalyze the movement. From those use cases, I believe tokenized debt or cash flow offers a unique plethora of possibilities to unlock the potential of security tokens.
