Tokenization and Digital Assets: Beyond the Hype of Blockchain in Finance
by Joseph Trek
Money is going digital, but the conversation is stuck between 'it's the future' and 'it's a scam.' This book explains what tokenization actually is: how blockchains create trust without a middleman, how smart contracts turn assets into programmable money, and how real-world rights become tradable tokens. It lays out a clear, jargon-free taxonomy of digital assets -- stablecoins, security tokens, utility tokens, and NFTs -- plus the unglamorous plumbing of wallets, custody, settlement, and the risks hiding in bridges and 'yield.'
