Key Terms

tokenomics, multi-signature wallet, digital asset

3 terms

tokenomics financial

"feature a discussion on tokenomics with Eric Saraniecki..."

Tokenomics is the set of rules and economic design behind a digital token — how many exist, how new ones are created or destroyed, who controls distribution, and what the token can be used for. Investors care because these factors shape scarcity, incentives and long-term demand much like a company’s business plan or a country’s money policy; a well-designed tokenomics model can support value, while poor design can lead to rapid loss of worth.

multi-signature wallet technical

"regulated custody, cold storage, and multi-signature wallet infrastructure..."

A multi-signature wallet is a digital account for holding cryptocurrencies or digital assets that requires approvals from more than one designated person or device before funds can be moved. For investors, it acts like a safe that needs multiple keys—reducing the chance a single lost password or hacked account can drain assets and enabling shared control and clearer approval procedures for managing funds.

digital asset financial

"BitGo Bank & Trust, an OCC-regulated digital asset trust bank..."

A digital asset is a representation of value or rights that exists only in electronic form—like digital versions of cash, stocks, or collectibles kept in a virtual wallet. They are transferred and recorded using computer systems that make copying or tampering difficult, and can include currencies, tokenized shares, or unique digital items. Investors care because digital assets can offer new ways to diversify, trade and raise capital, but they also bring different risks around price swings, custody and regulation.
