Rapidly scaling infrastructure Massive capital efficiencies Healthy markets And you think the financial industry isn't ready to pounce on tokenized RWAs? I wrote my bull case for tokenization on @Nasdaq Sooner than you think for @0xPolygon Dec. 20

Tokenization Isn't 'Failing,' It Hasn't Even Started Yet. But 2024 Will Change That

Earlier this week we announced Polygon 2.0. But it wasn't a product drop, as many thought. Some said it was an announcement of an announcement, NFT-founder style😅 But really, it was a roadmap. One that leads us to discovering the Value Layer of the Internet.
