Tokenization Salon
A space to think clearly about tokenization.
The Tokenization Salon brings together curious minds from the finance space — Web2, Web3, and everything in between — to make sense of how tokenization is transforming finance.
Mapped!
Drawing Parallels Between Web2 and Web3 Finance
How Web3 says it:
“We’re building a permissionless liquidity layer with cross-chain interoperability and native yield-bearing tokens.”
What they really mean:
“We’re creating an open platform where anyone can move assets between blockchains and earn returns on them without needing a bank or broker.”
If you’ve ever tuned into a conversation on Web3 finance and found yourself tuning out at “permissionless liquidity,” this session is for you.
And if you’re a Web3 native, you might find it interesting to see how many Web3 finance concepts have clear Web2 counterparts that actually preceded them, such as...
Fund managers → Vault curators
Ratings → Oracles
Exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ) → DEXs, CEXs etc.
This session is all about drawing parallels between Web2 and Web3 finance, and illustrating a map to help you orient yourself — regardless of your background.
