Tokenization of securities (via crypto infrastructure) solves real friction in existing financial systems by enabling t-plus-0 or t-plus-10-second settlement instead of t-plus-2 business days, which in a high-interest-rate environment means trillions of dollars are unnecessarily locked up and not generating yield

“in a world of of non-zero interest rates Mike like transactions like a stock transaction you go and buy IBM stock right sorry you sell IBM stock you don't get your cash until t plus2 t plus2 business days right so that could be like four calendar days if if it's if you sell it a Friday and what that means is like your money is like there's literally something on the order of tens of trillions of dollars locked up that could be getting put to good use in or get earning yield in this world of high interest rates so it matters now right”
