Reflecting on the progression of Consensus events over the years: In 2017-2018, Consensus New York was undoubtedly the most important business event of the year, attracting all the biggest global blockchain players. It was a must-attend for anyone in the industry. However, the 2022 Consensus was already impacted by the bearish market. The event faced a noticeable lack of interest from investors and lost the attention of key founders. Uncertainty and despair loomed over the discussions. The 2023 Consensus was borderline awful. Many booths prepaid in good years were abandoned, the parties were sad, and the overall spirit was the worst I've seen in years. In 2024, Consensus felt more dynamic and meaningful. However, the investors I spoke with remain highly skeptical about new narratives. Everyone's waiting for clear rules from US regulators. RWA shows no signs of explosive growth yet. Restaking continues to face skepticism, with many viewing it as a temporary trend lacking sustainable value and growth potential. Some even call it a Ponzi scheme. The new wave of L1-L2 is expected to fizzle out by the end of the cycle. Investors remain skeptical about DePIN, seeing it as a buzzword with limited real-world impact and scalability. Each year seems to hit harder on what was once the largest global business event. It's clear that the landscape is changing, and the industry must adapt to maintain its relevance and impact. #Consensus #CryptoRegulation #Restaking #DePIN

👉 The World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos came to a close last Friday. A global event bringing together the most influential players in politics and business to discuss the upcoming trends in business. It was only a matter of time before the topic of “tokenization” was addressed by the biggest crypto players in the sector.  👉 Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of Circle, the USDC stable coin, discussed tokenization and how it introduces a new ownership dynamic that is hosted on a blockchain with the potential to impact multiple sectors of the economy. 👉 Allaire said he believes tokenization should not be regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), highlighting that tokenisation is similar to data and that the tokens are used to prove and represent things that hold value. 👉 One challenge, Allaire also stressed, is that the government says OK this is a novel new monetary instrument – it is not an equity or financial instrument. In the US there is the assertion that therefore tokens must be securities.   👉 Tokenizing traditional assets has also caught the attention of legacy financial institutions. According to recent report by Moody's Analytics, a leading investment risk assessment firm, the value of tokenized funds has surged from $100 million at the beginning of 2023 to approximately $800 million today, driven by the rising tokenization of U.S. treasuries. It will be interesting to see how the tokenisation trend plays out in 2024. #tokenization #futurestatealliance #securitytokens
