Same thing with Uniswap, right?

AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

If you own Uniswap, you get a piece of the fees if you own some unit token.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

So different tokens represent different things.

If, on the other hand, you invest into Digix or USDG, right?

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

Okay, well, now you're investing into gold.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

It's a token, but the token, what is the token a handle on?

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

It's a handle on a real asset or a commodity.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

And so, therefore, you're really investing in the gold, even though it's a token.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

So token is just the wrapper.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

It doesn't necessarily imply what the underlying valuable asset is or does.

AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

That's very confusing.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

Maybe, maybe, maybe not.

One can imagine, for example, let's say the Polymarket IPOs.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

What are they IPOing?

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

They also have a token.

What are they IPOing?

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

Well, you can imagine that the IPO, their US regulated business,

Bonnie Blockchain

which is off-chain, but then they have a token that represents their on-chain offshore business, which is not available to Americans.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

So Americans can trade on the U.S.

Bonnie Blockchain

regulated exchange, which has CFTC license, it's surveilled.
