#代币化 Wait, I just saw something interesting! 🤔 Marketnode and Lion Global Investors are issuing tokenized physical gold assets on Solana? What exactly is this concept?

I've only heard of tokens before, but gold can also be tokenized? Does this mean converting real gold into digital assets on the blockchain? It feels a bit like bringing real-world value onto the chain. So, in the future, I might be able to trade gold assets directly on the blockchain without having to physically handle gold bars? 😮

Most importantly, they chose the Solana network to do this. Does this indicate anything? Is it because Solana's fast transaction speeds and low fees make it more suitable for handling such assets? It seems like the crypto world is always using different chains for different purposes. I need to understand the characteristics of each chain better.

This event suddenly made me realize that tokenization is not just limited to cryptocurrencies; the true "asset on-chain" might just be beginning. Can any experts explain what physical asset tokenization means for us small investors? 💭
