Tokenised money refers to a digital representation of traditional fiat currency or other monetary value issued on a blockchain or distributed ledger technology. This can include central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, or electronic money tokens. The tokenization process transforms conventional money into a programmable asset, enabling new forms of payments and financial applications. It combines the stability of fiat currency with the technological advantages of blockchain.
