389:Why Every Traded Asset Will Be Tokenized in 10 Years, with guest speaker William Quigley

About this episode

William Quigley discusses the future of tokenization and its implications for various assets and the crypto space.

I sat down live at Consensus Miami with William, ex-co-founder of Tether and WAX, to get his unfiltered take on where tokenization is actually heading. We dig into why stablecoins became the killer app, what's been holding back tokenized gold and real estate, and why the regulatory dam is about to break. William shares a fascinating perspective on AI in crypto, why blockchain is "the worst way to do almost anything" but has no equal for a narrow set of use cases, and why 30,000 suits showing up to a Bitcoin conference signals something has fundamentally shifted. If you want a grounded, no-hype view of what the next two years looks like for tokenization and institutional adoption, this episode delivers.
