Cryptocurrencies are where the blockchain industry is today, “but tokenization is where it’s going next,” Chainlink’s co-founder Sergey Nazarov told Cointelegraph.

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Nazarov said it won’t be easy because it comes with a slew of separate challenges with regard to tokenizing data, cross-chain connectivity, compliance and many other areas. But if and when it happens, the consequences could be huge. Consider only that the market capitalization of all the cryptocurrencies in the world is now about $4 trillion. If traditional financial assets were tokenized and brought onchain, that could boost market cap tenfold or more, he said. Read more
