The idea
I believe real-world assets like funds, bonds, and credit are moving onto blockchains, growing into a far bigger market by 2030 than it is today. Rather than pick one winner, I own the fee collectors across every layer: crypto-native platforms, the exchanges and custodians handling settlement, the asset managers issuing tokenized funds, and the blockchains underneath, with large financial incumbents as ballast against the more volatile pieces. I keep a small cash buffer and hold this for years, expecting to revisit it if tokenization stalls or regulation shuts the door.
