In a world where tokenization becomes mainstream, with a wide variety of assets digitally represented on blockchains, these tokenized assets will replace money for everyday payments. That’s the intriguing argument recently made onForbes by David Birch, a veteran British expert on digital identity and money.
Instead of selling your mutual fund shares to get dollars that can then be used to buy a car, you could just transfer some of the shares to the dealership over a blockchain. You’d have the car, and the dealership would have tokenized shares that could be kept invested or transferred to the carmaker to pay for replenishing the inventory.
