The main character of the movie (The Big Short), hedge fund manager Michael Burry, retweeted an article discussing tokenization on social media platform X on Wednesday, adding a classic line from (Finding Nemo) with the tag 'Just keep swimming,' indicating that he is 'learning' about tokenization concepts.

This article published by (The Paypers), titled "Beyond Cryptocurrency: How Tokenization is Quietly Reshaping Markets" discusses how tokenization technology is becoming an important force in the global financial system, developing into a market worth billions of dollars. The author also explains how tokenized dollars and stablecoins will strengthen the role of the dollar globally, and reveals how interoperability pilots can practically validate the immediate transfer capabilities of tokenized assets.
Burry's tweet immediately sparked heated discussions in the crypto community, as he had just criticized Bitcoin in a podcast, comparing it to the historical tulip bubble, and deemed its rise to $100,000 "absurdly excessive."
X user @absolquant jokingly replied to Burry's tweet, saying: "Welcome back, I'll take this as you being bullish on cryptocurrency." Some users also suggested that Burry should take a deeper look at Bitcoin again.
Since the beginning of this year, the adoption of tokenization in the institutional sector has continued to heat up, with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink being one of the most well-known advocates of this technology. Fink and the company's COO Rob Goldstein recently stated in a column written for The Economist that they believe the current stage of tokenization is similar to the "internet of 1996," which is poised for significant growth.
