Tokenization is one of the most important parts of this strategy.

@Algorand describes asset tokenization as a way to bring real-world assets such as bonds, equities, funds, real estate, structured products, commodities, and environmental assets on-chain.

The goal is not simply to create tokens.

30% of all electricity bills in Afghanistan are paid using Algorand.

As Algorand CSMO @marcvl explained during @nordicblock, this is not a pilot or a proof of concept, but a real-world deployment operating at scale in a country where around 80% of people remain unbanked. https://t.co/QEVeg4rv8D
