Over centuries, trade was done on stone tablets, then paper, then computers, then computers that are online. Now trade is onchain.

Blockchains aren’t databases, they’re programs with self-executing code, and payments that are built in to the value exchange layer.

Why tokenized RWAs, finance, and trade? Because wealthy merchants adapt to use the latest technologies. Don’t overthink it. Use the best tech to access global markets, not your local ones.

Why tokenized

Modern markets have scaled concentrically from local marketplaces, eg NYSE famously started under a buttonwood tree.  Crypto is the first financial architecture that uses dematerialized computer networks that are global in scale by default.

I tend to agree. What do you think current distributed ledgers lack? Or rather, how do you think about what’s needed but missing?

To adequately serve RWAs, or really global trade, we'd need many orders of magnitude faster/scaled ledgers. It is this problem that makes me believe Ethereum  (or even Solana) won't be capable of serving that demand. Kind of like the step function between horse and buggy to cars, it's not "faster horses", but entire rethinking of how distributed ledgers are implemented.
