tl;dr
Tokenisation and stablecoins will provide untold benefits for the world’s poor and dispossessed. The moral case for cryptos is now undeniable to anyone other than those who simply wish to protect their own privileged status at the expense of others.

Market Wrap
Gold’s market cap has risen to a mightily impressive $30 TRILLION. Once BTC matches that, an outcome that is set in stone, the price per BTC will be $1.4mm. It can’t happen soon enough.

Curious Cryptos’ Commentary – Tokenisation
The CCC has talked about tokenisation on numerous occasions, but I cannot stress enough how important it is going to be. And so, we will keep revisiting this topic.
Tokenisation allows for the democratisation of financial markets. By that, I mean that previously illiquid assets can become liquid assets, available to all investors. Obvious examples include real estate, major infrastructure projects, and even some stocks, such as Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A shares which trade at an un-investable (for most) price of $738,000 per share.
Once any asset can be tokenised and is then available for investments of as little as one dollar or less, pricing visibility and liquidity are much enhanced. That reduces the cost of capital for all business, increasing productivity and encouraging the virtuous circle of lower pricing of products, more employment, higher wages, better working conditions, and increased investment in infrastructure, and R&D.
Larry fink, who needs no introduction, has known this for a while:
One of the fastest growing banks is following Larry’s leadership. The extremely impressive BNY CEO Robin Vince explains that “tokenisation … is a megatrend”:
This is the single biggest financial revolution since the creation of money, powered by cryptos. You really should watch both videos. That will be eleven minutes of your life very well spent.
Curious Cryptos’ Commentary – Stablecoins
KPMG have produced this handy cut and keep guide to the stablecoin revolution:
The headline news is that every year $150 TRILLION of cash is moved cross-border, taking days at a time to be received, and costing on average $25-$35 per transaction. For the world’s poorest who rely upon their diaspora engaged in back-breaking, arduous work, in foreign countries far from family and friends, that time lag, and that cost, is one of the world’s greatest injustices.
KPMG’s focus is on the impact that stablecoins will have on the movement of institutional money, not the £100 sent from a barber shop in Hackney to a family in, say, Ngao Village in Tana River County, a place where foreign remittances provide a vital source of income.
KPMG have stated the obvious – using stablecoins rather than the legacy fiat systems that operate today will allow for instantaneous settlement at virtually zero cost.
The benefits are legion. Removing the delay in the transfer of capital is an immediate productivity boost to banks and corporates, as is the reduction in costs wasted on the current inefficient legacy system that benefits no-one but sharp-suited middlemen who add no value. Productivity improvements encourage the virtuous circle of lower pricing of products, more employment, higher wages, better working conditions, and increased investment in infrastructure, and R&D.
Now, where have we heard that before?
Oh yes, of course, I nearly forgot. That’s exactly what tokenisation does too.
The crypto revolution is making every single person wealthier than the day before, though they may not know it yet. The naysayers – as with all technological developments throughout history – are only ever interested in trying to maintain their own privileged position at the expense of the world’s poor and dispossessed. The moral case for cryptos has never been so illuminated as it is today.
Support the technocratic elite, or support those who are in need.
It is your choice.
