Tokenomics That Work: How Utility-First Crypto Bridges Wall Street and Web3
Forget ’to the moon’—today’s smart tokens are solving real problems. The right utility doesn’t just hype—it builds bridges.
Why TradFi can’t ignore this anymore
Yield-bearing stablecoins now handle more daily volume than some regional banks. Governance tokens let users vote like shareholders—without the $50K brokerage minimums. Meanwhile, Wall Street still charges 2% fees for basic index funds.
The killer apps aren’t what you think
It’s not about JPEGs or meme coins. The real traction? Tokenized commercial paper, on-chain corporate treasuries, and DeFi rails that settle in minutes—not days. Legacy finance moves at geological speeds; crypto infrastructure moves at internet speed.
The cynical truth
Banks will adopt this tech... right after they finish charging you $35 for overdrafts. The gap isn’t technological—it’s profit margins.
