Big tech’s role in blockchain adoption
summary
Kenta launches a Gcoin gold token as a digital title to vaulted physical gold on a proprietary Kent OS built on Quorum ethereum, plus a supply‑chain tag-and-track stack; AWS focuses on embedding tokenization, smart contracts and IoT into enterprise platforms to onboard users; a recent precious‑metals industry association pilot inconclusive (minimal uptake) shows the blocking issue is reliable digitization — you need IoT/AI, regulation, UX and low fees, not just a ledger, and past failures (FTX, Celsius, Terra) raise compliance stakes.
