Founder, @MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab, @ccatalini on Tokenized with cohosts @sytaylor and @cuysheffield said that OpenUSD has two very different paths to success, and the tension between them hasn't surfaced yet.⁣ ⁣ "One is it becomes kind of a Linux foundation for open standards around money movement, and the asset is kind of the forcing function for standards on merchant payments, on delivery versus payment."⁣ ⁣ "The other one is probably the most ambitious one, which is it becomes like a Visa like entity that many years after, it's its own very profitable business, its own network."⁣ ⁣ "I could imagine some funding members would prefer one or the other depending on where they sit in the stack, and I think that's the ultimate tension that at some point will materialize."⁣ ⁣ "Maybe it doesn't matter. Right? So maybe if you bring use cases to market early on, you get adoption, and then the thing solves itself."⁣ ⁣ A neutral standard and a profitable network pull in opposite directions, and early adoption may decide which one wins before the members do.⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com
