Description
The emergence of Bitcoin in 2008 and its underlying technology, the blockchain, enabled the development of a decentralised and secure peer-to-peer payment system. The rise of Bitcoin paved the way for the development of other distributed ledger technologies, with more or less similar characteristics: public, private or permissioned ledgers, blockchains or acyclic graphs, block sizes, consensus algorithms, etc. With the advent of smart contracts stored on the blockchain, it is now possible to represent assets other than financial transactions on the blockchain. In addition to utility tokens, based on the ERC20 standard, which are mainly used in decentralised applications (Dapp), the community and various projects have developed new standards (ERC721) to represent physical or digital goods, NFTs, as well as "financial tokens similar to financial instruments" (Security Tokens), representing financial assets. Finally, with the growth of new verticals in the blockchain industry, such as decentralised finance, the gaming industry and metavers, the number of use cases will continue to increase and we will see a growing number of crypto assets emerge in the future.
