The podcast explores the potential for FWA to incorporate real-world assets (RWAs) like luxury goods and even tokenized deeds, driven by protocols like Emblem Vault that enable cross-chain asset transfers. The discussion touches on the possibility of FWA deployments on other chains, potentially enhancing user experience with faster transactions, while maintaining a focus on EVM compatibility.
“I have a hot take that in like two years, most of the most valuable assets on fake world assets are going to be real world assets. I just think if you can pitch to like quote unquote normies, I hate the term, but if you can pitch to them, hey, like, Instead of, oh, you can get this NFT, which maybe they don't like NFTs, they've heard bad things about NFTs. Everyone wants a punk, I guess. But other NFTs, who knows where that's going. If you can pitch, hey, you can spend for $50 and win a $100,000 Pokemon card, or you can win a Rolex, or you can win a title, whatever. Things could get weird, right?”
“But if we slowly start talking about composability layers and wrapping vaults to bring over to other chains, that opens a whole other aspect here. Because now all of a sudden, NFTs don't have to live on one chain. I can bring my punk over to Robinhood. There's an FWA on Robinhood. It's cheaper. It's quicker. All these things. To me, there's unlimited potential here that go well beyond just spending for NFTs that are on the Ethereum.”
“But yeah, I mean, think about the crazy stuff. I mean, you could, if it's a Robinhood, say, you know, there's tokenized stocks there. I saw today someone's like making a NVIDIA 3X long token on Robinhood chain. You can move along wallets. Like you could have... you know, stocks inside of this, theoretically, right? You could have a custom pool where you spend for, you know, top prizes, a thousand shares of Tesla and the bottom prize is one share of GME, right?”
