2. Tokenizing all assets (equities, commodities, real estate, etc.)
3. Being able to use those stablecoins/tokenized assets in DeFi protocols that are more automated, more impartial, and less extractive than corresponding traditional finance systems. Including lending and marketplaces to buy/sell. Many industries will see parts of their back offices go onchain. Tokenized real estate + onchain swapping = onchain real estate markets. Stablecoins + onchain swapping = onchain forex markets.
4. All of these being inherently global, so anyone in the world with a mobile phone can access these assets and the onchain financial system.
5. All of these being size-agnostic. The same assets and technologies work with a 5 cent buy of tokenized TSLA stock just as they do with a 50 million buy.
6. All of these capabilities enjoy instant settlement. The act of trading the tokenized asset also settles the trade. There is no more T+1 settlement risk or delay. This reduces risk and improves capital efficiency.
7. Decentralized public chains, especially Ethereum, offer new kinds of credible commitments that are strong enough to bind corporations and governments because the agreements are automated by the highly decentralized chain. Centralized chains (almost all chains) can't do this because they are too easy to rewrite history if governments apply pressure. When using Ethereum, instead of relying on a counterparty to keep their word and then suing them if they don't, parts of that agreement can become automated by the chain, reducing risk of breach of contract and cost of compliance. Maximum decentralization greatly reduces overall risk, which is very valuable at global scale.
8. Generally increased permissionless innovation, stronger property rights, and freer markets. Anybody can use onchain or build onchain, there's no gatekeepers.
