JPMorgan and Apollo Embrace Crypto 💸
I bet JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is itching to get his hands on crypto now after calling Bitcoin a "fraud" in 2017. Nothing like a splash of hypocrisy to quench our thirst for irony! Though I can’t blame him - banks must fulfill the growing demand for crypto after all.
And that brings us to our Word of the Day!
It’s ‘Tokenization’!
Imagine you collected a bunch of cool comic books as a kid. Those comic books are valuable - rare old issues of Spiderman and Batman. You want to sell them someday to make money. But carrying around old paper comics is hard - they could get damaged or stolen.
So instead, you decide to "tokenize" them. You take detailed digital pictures of each comic book. Then you use special blockchain software to create unique digital tokens for each comic book that link to the digital pictures. Now you have digital "tokens" for each comic book that are connected to the blockchain.
These tokens can be easily stored or traded online. Someone who wants to buy your old Batman comic doesn't need the physical comic anymore - they can just get the digital token for it! The blockchain keeps a permanent record of who owns each token. That's tokenization in a nutshell - turning real-world assets into digital tokens on the blockchain.
