Tokenization is finance's shipping container, but value may concentrate at the ports, not the box

The author argues tokenization, like the shipping container, will concentrate value at infrastructure junctions rather than in the tokens themselves. Mastercard closed its $1.5 billion BVNK acquisition August 3, adding $30 billion in annualized processing volume. Circle agreed September 8 to buy Tazapay for roughly $400 million in stock, gaining payouts in over 100 markets. Nasdaq invested $100 million in Kraken's parent Payward on September 10. Block, World Liberty Trust, Bridge and Coinbase have pursued OCC charters, though the author says charters alone won't decide winners.
