Monty Metzger to Deliver Keynote on “Tokenization: Capital for Humanity” at Wyoming Global Technology Summit
a LCX Team ·
LCX Founder and CEO Monty C. M. Metzger will deliver a keynote at the 13th Annual Wyoming Global Technology Summit in Jackson Hole on September 10, where he will offer the first public keynote preview of his forthcoming book, Tokenization: Capital for Humanity. How Digital Ownership Unlocks the Wealth of the World.
His address, “Tokenization: How Digital Ownership Unlocks the Wealth of the World,” will examine how blockchain is evolving from an infrastructure for digital money into a broader system for digital ownership, spanning financial assets, securities and real world assets.
“The next digital revolution is not the digitization of money. It is the digitization of ownership,” Metzger writes in the book.
The Architecture of Tokenization
One of the frameworks Metzger will introduce in Jackson Hole is the Tokenization Pyramid, which illustrates the layers required to transform an underlying asset into a functioning digital market: Asset, Law, Token, Utility and Liquidity.
The central idea is simple. Creating a token is only one part of tokenization. The larger opportunity lies in connecting assets with blockchain infrastructure, applications, markets and liquidity so that ownership itself becomes digital and programmable.
Metzger argues that this transition could ultimately extend far beyond today’s digital asset industry.
As he writes in Tokenization: Capital for Humanity, “The world does not lack wealth. It lacks usable ownership.”
The potential market for tokenization is therefore not limited to cryptocurrencies or securities. It extends to the vast universe of financial and real world assets that can be owned, financed, transferred or exchanged. In this sense, tokenization is less about creating a new asset class than building a new digital infrastructure for ownership across the global economy.
Building the Infrastructure for the Ownership Age
This thesis is increasingly reflected in LCX’s product strategy. LCX is expanding from regulated digital asset markets into blockchain native infrastructure through the LCX Liberty ecosystem, bringing together decentralized trading, self custody and blockchain infrastructure.
LCX Liberty Chain is being developed as blockchain infrastructure for tokenization and digital ownership, while LCX Liberty DEX, part of LCX’s American DeFi initiative, extends the ecosystem into non custodial, onchain markets.
Together, LCX Liberty Chain and LCX Liberty DEX form part of the technology stack through which tokenized assets can be created, held, transferred, traded and settled.
For LCX, the next stage of tokenization is not simply about moving today’s financial products onto a blockchain. It is about building the infrastructure for an economy in which ownership itself becomes digital.
Global Leaders Meet in Jackson Hole
The Wyoming Global Technology Summit brings together leaders from technology, finance, government, energy and venture capital. Participants include U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, Audrey Robertson of the U.S. Department of Energy, Jack Selby of Thiel Capital, Wesley Chan of FPV Ventures, Drew Oetting of 8VC, Scott Nolan of Founders Fund and Manfredi Lefebvre of Heritage Group.
Metzger’s keynote is scheduled for 3:15 PM on September 10 2026. As tokenization moves from an emerging technology toward a new layer of financial and ownership infrastructure, LCX is positioning itself to build the tools and markets for that transition.
