Crypto startup aims to tokenize oil barrels for 24/7 trading

Energy Substantiation, a crypto startup, is developing a digital token, WTIC, designed to represent one barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil. The company aims to allow anyone with a crypto wallet to invest in oil, offering 24/7 trading capabilities that differ from traditional markets. While the concept draws parallels to stablecoins, its success hinges on attracting participants from both the energy and crypto sectors, with current on-chain value around $80,000. AI

IMPACT This initiative explores tokenizing real-world assets like oil, potentially impacting traditional finance and commodity markets through blockchain technology.
