The world is on the cusp of a significant financial transformation, driven by the unsustainable growth of global debt and the need to repair balance sheets without outright debt reduction. In a recent video presentation, Miles Harris introduces the concept of the “Great Revaluation,” a process that promises to reshape the future economic landscape through the tokenization of real-world assets and the adoption of unified ledger technologies. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the key takeaways from the presentation and explore the implications of this emerging trend.
The current financial system is characterized by excessive global debt, which has grown to unsustainable levels relative to GDP. Traditional forms of collateral, such as government bonds and housing, are becoming exhausted, and the system relies heavily on rolling over debts, liquidity, and credible collateral to service these debts. However, as collateral quality deteriorates and settlement processes remain slow, the system faces increasing refinancing risks.
Harris draws a fascinating historical parallel with England’s financial revolution in the late 17th century, where land was revalued as collateral, enabling debt expansion without repayment. This revaluation facilitated economic growth and helped to establish England as a major financial power. Similarly, the modern equivalent of this revaluation is tokenization, which transforms illiquid real-world assets into liquid, pledgeable digital assets on blockchain-based unified ledgers.
Tokenization promises significant improvements in liquidity, transparency, efficiency, and asset usability, potentially leading to a liquidity premium where tokenized assets appreciate in value. By expanding the asset base supporting existing debts, tokenization facilitates balance sheet repair without reducing debt levels. This process has the potential to drive greater asset value appreciation and increased economic activity due to faster transaction settlement.
However, Harris cautions that this transition is selective and phased, emphasizing that tokenization will not create new wealth but will reprice existing assets to sustain the heavily indebted global economy. The benefits of tokenization may disproportionately favor financial elites rather than “main street,” raising important questions about the distribution of wealth and the impact on different segments of society.
In conclusion, the Great Revaluation represents a significant shift in the global financial system, driven by the need to address excessive debt and repair balance sheets. Tokenization and unified ledger technologies are set to play a key role in this process, promising improved liquidity, transparency, and efficiency. While the benefits of this transition are likely to be significant, it’s essential to engage critically with these ideas and consider the potential implications for different stakeholders.
