Topic

How Value is created in Tokenized Assets

Abstract

How can blockchain impact our current economic structures and economic interactions? Can Blockchain, AI and a variety of other technologies lead to technological convergence? The impact of increasing connectedness on our economic structures, rethinking of ‘value’ as the true impact of the “Blockchain Revolution”, and technological convergence facilitated by blockchain as the key infrastructure technology together promise a radically different future.
