If tokenization becomes a $10T market… who actually gets paid the most?
Genuine question I’ve been thinking through. Let’s assume the projections are even partially correct and tokenization scales into a multi-trillion-dollar market over the next decade. A lot of estimates point to $10T or more by 2030. So where does the value actually accrue? Most people would say exchanges, platforms, or …

How should an ordinary person think about investing around a possible US/Israel-Iran escalation?
I'm not asking this from a political or moral angle, but from a practical one. As ordinary citizens, we obviously have no influence over what the US, Israel, or Iran decide to do.

When that anonymous individual using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin, he claimed it enables transactions.

Gold fell toward $4,600 on Monday, extending losses after Trump warned Iran of possible strikes if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened.
