The Nuances of Tokenization: A brief explanation on attempts from this past d...Tim Swanson
There are many misconceptions surrounding the world of NFTs. To fully understand how (art-related) NFTs arose we need to look back at the history of tokenization and fungible tokens as a whole. This brief overview was first presented at the Web 3.1 Unconference on February 28, 2022: https://web31.xyz/
The Tokenization of Everything - SAP Central Bank Executive Summit 2019Todd McDonald
This is a recent presentation that I gave at the SAP Central Bank Executive Summit 2019 in Frankfurt (many thanks to our hosts at SAP for inviting R3 to present). The topic is 'The Tokenization of Everything' which extends upon some recent talks that I have given about digital assets and tokens representing the third revolution of blockchain tech (after censorship resistant cryptocurrencies and the 'what I see is what you see' single source of truth of enterprise blockchains). This takes a slight twist on that approach by positioning how both asset tokens and value tokens provide value on their own...but will be most powerful when deployed and used together to achieve lower risk and friction settlement (atomic DvP). Hope you enjoy and as always feedback is welcome.
FirstPartner's 2016 Blockchain Ecosystem Market Map helps to decrypt the blockchain landscape with a visual overview of the emerging ecosystem, players, technologies and trends. It clearly summarises three main areas of focus emerging around the core blockchain or distributed ledger protocols:
1) Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies: Providing an alternative to centrally managed "fiat" currencies, this sector includes Bitcoin exchanges, Bitcoin wallets, miners and cryptocurrency payment processors. The map illustrates how these companies interact and features some leading players including Coinbase, Circle, Kraken and 21 Inc.
2) The Financial Services Blockchain: This has been the main area of focus over the last 12 months as attention shifts from Bitcoin to Financial Services applications. An increasing number of players are focussing on commercialising blockchain technologies for banks, securities, derivatives and asset markets and institutional investors - and are attracting VC funding to do so. Ripple and Ethereum are leading candidate protocols for payment processing and smart contracts and players including Ripple, Chain and Digital Asset Holdings are gaining traction with Financial Institutions. The Map highlights leading technology companies and some of the banks, card schemes and processors who are investing in or evaluating distributed ledger technologies.
3) Other Use Cases: The distributed ledger concept and its ability to support transparent and tamper-proof asset registration, proof of ownership and asset transfer transactions makes it potentially applicable to multiple non financial use cases. The Map highlights a number of candidate use cases including publishing, legal, distributed data storage, document management and IoT. Some of the pioneering initiatives and companies exploring these applications are included.
Crucially the Map also provides a clear pictorial explanation and summary of the leading protocols at the heart of the ecosystem and concepts including coloured coins and smart contracts that supplement them to make a number of the proposed services possible.

Blockchain Smart Contracts - getting from hype to reality Capgemini
The potential of smart contracts – programmable contracts that automatically execute when pre-defined conditions are met – is the subject of much debate and discussion in the financial services industry. Smart contracts, enabled by blockchain or distributed ledgers, have been held up as a cure for many of the problems associated with traditional financial contracts, which are simply not geared up for the digital age. Reliance on physical documents leads to delays, inefficiencies and increases exposure to errors and fraud. Financial intermediaries, while providing interoperability for the
finance system and reducing risk, create overhead costs for and increase compliance requirements.
In this report, we aim to cut through the speculation and hype around the potential of smart contracts. We have conducted detailed discussions with financial services industry professionals, prominent smart contract startups and academics (see Research Methodology at the end of this paper). Our study confirms that smart contract adoption will lead to reduced risks, lower administration and service costs, and more efficient business processes across all major segments of the financial services industry. These benefits will accrue from technology, process redesign as well as from fundamental changes in operating models, as they require a group of firms to share a common view of the contract between trading parties. Consumers will benefit from more competitive products, such as mortgage loans and insurance policies, along with simpler processes that are free of many of the hassles of today’s customer experience.

The revolution against the banking industry is taking place at a breathtaking speed with the movement spearheaded by a new breed of technology entrepreneurs. The finance industry has long been marked by complex regulations, high barriers to entry and economies of scale and this is all set for disruption by the present fintech revolution. One of the most controversial and debated topics in the finance industry is blockchain. It is the buzzword in the finance world nowadays. The rise in Google searches for the term has risen to 1900% since 2013.
A high-level introduction to cryptoland with the aim to sketch out what people are getting so excited about (beyond the rollercoaster of Bitcoin price). Covering blockchains, cryptocurrencies, ICOs, DApps, DAOs and more.
I present this to government departments to help understand blockchain technology and how governments are using it as well as the opportunities that blockchain start-ups could have.
Expanding Beyond Cryptocurrency in the Digital World using Blockchain TechnologyYogeshIJTSRD
A blockchain is principally a distributed database of records or public ledger of all transactions or digital events that are executed and shared among the participating parties. Once entered, information can never be erased. The blockchain encompasses a precise and supportable record of each solo transaction ever made in the history of all the transactions. Bitcoin, the decentralized digital currency, is that the most well liked example that uses blockchain technology. The digital currency bitcoin itself is extremely controversial but the underlying blockchain technology has worked flawlessly and located a good range of applications in both the financial and nonfinancial world.
