2024 was the year the term ‘tokenization“Went mainstream and in 2025 is the year we start to see the first serious tokenized projects and the platforms are rolled out.
With Black Rock (Nasdaq: Blk) CEO Larry Fink predicts tokenization of everything and to call bitcoin and ethereum “stepping stones” against a tokenized world last year, and with Robinhood (Nasdaq: Hood) And others who announce tokenized stock trading in recent months, tokenization has become a big deal in the non-Blockchain economy.
Yet, unlike ICOS, Web3 gameNfts and other madmen in the past, Rwa -tookenization Has largely skipped the hype cycle and went directly to the tool phase. It has not been art tokens that sell for millions just to crash to Pennies later, and companies like Robinhood have already rolled out tokenized solutions in regulated markets.
It looks good, but it happens on Robinhood’s blockchain, so it controls the game and rules.
With all this happening, could tokenized assets Finally, be what gives blockchain technology its much needed mainstream use case? They really have the potential, but how tokenization happens a lot. If we do not want more business control of the industry and the world at large, tokenization must take place on one Scalable public blockchain No single device can check.
Tokenize your stuff on my chain, bro
I have said it repeatedly, and I say it as long as the problem remains: to build on hundreds or thousands Private blockchains is a stupid case. It not only leaves us with the same problems that Bitcoin would solve – multiple contradictory books – but the fragment liquidity, kills the interoperability of appsand gives control of symbols to the unit that controls the chain.
Let’s look at Robinhood’s latest announcement, for example: Stocktokens will initially be issued on Arbitrum, but they will eventually migrate to their Own proprietary layer two solution. It sounds good in theory, but that means Robinhood has too much control over tokens and what can be done with them. For example, at least initially, these assets will not be salable in secondary markets, so Robinhood controls the entire game.
This is not the world that Bitcoin and Blockchain technology would start. It would be meant to be decentralizedWhich means no single device could check anything. In this world Robinhood would issue warehouse on a public blockchain and let the buyer move them between Walletssell them to someone else on another platform, or even peer-to-peer If they want. The buyer would thus have custody of his asset and could do as he wishes to with his property within the limits of the law.
Wanting to control an application interface is reasonable: customers use it, make purchases and the company generates fees from loyal users, but wanting to control the rails on which tokens run is dangerous. This is no different from how things work in the Web 2.0 world today; If meta (Nasdaq: Meta) deletes your account, you are gone and if Amazon (Nasdaq: Amzn) Sunsets teeth or prime, all your digital media go with it.
While private chains can still show unchanging items and thus be reviewed by everyone with access, they are still ultimately under the control of a private unit and validator who drive it for that unit’s interests. Thus, in a tokenized world on private blockchains, we have nothing but window associations for the old systems; This technology would help us escape.
A better solution: issue everything on a scalable, distributed blockchain
When Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin, he told Early developer Mike Hearn That it never hits a scaling roof. Satoshi also released its electronic cash system with many op codes and a native script system to enable complex transaction types. While he was not talking about tokens in detail, he suggested that Bitcoin could be used as more than just money.
This means that while Satoshi did not invent tokenization, he lays the foundation for it. While Ethereum, which has a well-established token protocol in ERC-20, have failed to scale after a decade Of turns, Bitcoin Blockchain, which most follows Satoshi’s original vision, has peeled massively and has several token protocols that anyone can use today.
For those who don’t know, I talk about BSV -Blockchain. While BTC and BCH went in different directions, BSvers decided to test if Satoshi Nakamoto was right by removing the block size limit, restoring most of the original Bitcoin Opcodes and adding value by releasing token protocols, easy to use developer tools and more.
Since testing of its Teranode -upgrade Has shown how BSV knows one million transactions per second on a long -term basis, and fees are fractions of a cent, this means that BSV may be the distributed database that acts as the spine for a tokenized world.
There are many other players involved in the BSV ecosystem including independent developers such as Project babbageminers and transaction processors like Gorilla pooland decentralized protocols such as 1sat prescribedAs an indie developer like Luke Rohenaz and David Case helped implement on BSV.
In short, while there are some Rules for network access (NAR) miners must follow, such as not consciously attacking the network and the value built on it, today BSV is a decentralized network with several independent miners, dozens of independent developers and lots of promising applications.
Would it be a much better database for symbols than a chain controlled by Robinhood, another by Blackrock, and maybe another of your favorite global bank cartel?
Promise of bitcoin is still alive and tokens can live on it
I entered Bitcoin and Blockchain because I wanted to take power out of my hands of major financial players and into a distributed system that no one could move with. Unfortunately, BTC has been removed from all capacities for tokenization and application building, Ethereum is still not peeingAnd most other blockchains are vaporware and ghost chains.
It leaves an alternative: Satoshi’s original protocol, capable with millions of transactions per second, controlled by no single unit, and which anyone can join and mine, provided they follow basic rules to keep things justice. Infinite tokens representing everything from gold coins to fractional Art for objects in the game can exist on BSV today, and when these symbols are in your hands, no one can take or control them without your private keys.
This is the world I believe in and which I know Bitcoin can lead the way. If you feel the same, lobby as your representatives, tells everyone who shares a common interest in blockchain and lends your time, energy and resources to ensure that the tokenized world that we go in is not controlled by the same inheritance player as the old financial world was.
Thankfully, this time there is a technical solution that works, and with better, truly decentralized alternatives that offer access to tokenized assets can and will win the long game.
Build on BSV, issue symbols on it and let’s make sure the world that our children inherit is decentralized, free and really peer-to-peer!
