Weed in the Web3 Metaverse
Cannabis and Web3 Crossover: Tokenization
The growing momentum of cannabis and cryptocurrency acceptance in the United States is beautiful to behold. The merger of the two sectors recently best explains the words of wisdom that say two heads are better than one.
Both sectors are not federally recognized as legal entities. This has led to a standstill in the provision of financial services in the cannabis industry as traditional financial institutions continue to close their doors to cannabis-related businesses. Through the intersection of cannabis and blockchain technology, a solution has emerged.
Cannabis, cryptocurrency, web 3 and blockchain technology
The cannabis industry has operated with cash for many years, making these companies a target for robberies. To bring about changes, the legislature drafted the SAFE Banking Act. But this measure has not prevailed in the earlier introductions.
Blockchain technology and digital tokens are the next available solutions to solve the financial challenges in the cannabis sector.
Note that the relationship between cannabis and Web3 is a highly volatile area of the US Constitution. Any step you wish to take in this regard must be done under the guidance of an experienced security and crypto advocate.
Cannabis companies are in the early stages of integrating their operations with blockchain technology. In the last 10 to 13 months, dozens of cannabis operators have formed their own Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO). Crypto law firms have helped solve the governance and financial issues associated with on-chain and off-chain funding for these companies.
The services of NFT creators and studios are used to find the best way to effectively connect the crypto and cannabis sectors without risking or compromising the intellectual property of either party.
The decentralized finance (DeFi) niche offers the most benefits to the cannabis sector. Businesses will have access to POS solutions and APIs that mask the lack of traditional banking services. Smart contracts are used for this.
Tokenization of Cannabis Units on the Web3
Tokenization, also known as fractionation, is the process of breaking ownership and control of a cannabis asset into small tokenized chunks. These smaller tokens are sold, bought, held, exchanged and traded on recognized platforms.
Tokenization has always been a pre-internet, pre-mainstream concept. In traditional financial institutions, it was known as “stocks,” sometimes a company’s contractual rights. The emergence of Web3 in recent months has made the term a popular word in the crypto space. In a few months, other new terminologies will be communicated throughout the space to explain the distributed ledger technology on which Web 3 is built.
Before the advent of the internet, we commonly referred to this tokenization as shares in a corporation or general contractual rights. Now that we have delved deeper into the Web3 space, the industry is developing a new terminology based on the distributed ledger technology that makes up Web3.
Cannabis Token Securities
Tokenized securities in the cannabis industry are referred to as “cannabis business stocks”. They are owned by corporations or LLCs. There are several variants based on debt and equity, including convertible debentures, Simple Agreement to Future Equity (SAFE) and preferred ownership interests. In today’s general trading world, tokenized securities are essentially shares that can be traded.
With Decentralized Finance and Web3, cannabis token securities have much more utility than just transferring ownership and profit-sharing rights to licensed cannabis companies. These tokens have additional features that are much more than just voting rights. These additional features include access to certain markets that are restricted to holders of a company’s token. These tokenized securities or stocks increase in value over time as they are built on the underlying Web 3 technology.
In traditional finance, cannabis security tokens can be compared to securities. These “collateral” merely give buyers traditional rights or title without the additional Web 3 capabilities.
Cannabis utility tokens
These utility tokens differ from tokenized securities. They offer practical value that has little to do with security token ownership.
Tokenized Web3 utilities are additional components of security and security tokens in addition to their proprietary rights. These utilities are more or less the economic benefits of owning cannabis tokens or cannabis-related businesses. It allows holders to vote at corporate events and grants access to locations, metaverses and other token holders. With cannabis utility tokens, customers come first for exclusive products inside and outside the crypto space – that is, new products in real life and digital assets like NFTs in the crypto space.
Once the cannabis crypto space is fully operational, these cannabis utility tokens will be tied to cryptocurrencies that can be mined to gain access to specific cannabis DAOs and markets.
Cannabis NFT Token
Non-fungible cannabis tokens are digital assets that can be used in the real world. They are also utility tokens that give a digital representation of cannabis units. Currently, cannabis NFT tokens come in the form of artwork, videos, memes, and GIFs. They also serve as admission tickets for parent company events.
Cannabis NFT tokens can be tokenized or fractionated instead of being sold as a single asset. Multiple owners share ownership of the content. Some of the available NFTs in the blockchain and cannabis interface serve digital goods or tokenized securities.
bottom line
The unavailability of traditional financial services will prompt more cannabis companies to seek refuge on the internet. The marijuana metaverse is still in its infancy, but brands are already setting up virtual locations.
Initially, many operators may be overwhelmed by the move to the new technology space, but with time and access to information, things will become normal. Crypto experts even admitted that in the early stages of their entry into the tech space, they felt like they were drowning in uncharted territory.
Web3 hasn’t reached half of its peak height yet and hence the place is growing every day. No one can rightly claim to be an expert in Web3 technology right now. Even the US Securities and Exchange Commission is still trying to understand the whole concept.
All you have to do is make sure you seek legal services and educate yourself before diving into the world of cryptosXcannabis. You can watch YouTube videos at webinars or conferences to learn more about cannabis asset tokenization.
