Beyond the trend, what are the prospects for mobility using blockchain technologies? 4

Even though these concepts are, for most of them, not that new (we already know the tokenization and notarization since the emergence of Ethereum, the AR/VR since Pokemon Go, the distributed networks since the creation of blockchain…), it seems everyone discovered these concepts recently, thanks to buzzing events such as a tweet sale, artworks auctions or even JP Morgan publishing a white paper about the opportunities for banks to go metaverse.
