Odaily Planet Daily News: Cardano has partnered with Atómico 3, Zengate, and Alto Grande to launch what is claimed to be the world's first lithium tokenization project in Argentina, scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. The project will leverage Cardano's blockchain technology to convert ownership of lithium into digital tokens, allowing investors to trade fractional shares of the mineral without having to physically handle or own it. This process aims to democratize resource access, increase liquidity, and facilitate international trade through secure and immutable blockchain transactions. Argentina holds the largest lithium reserves in the world, primarily concentrated in Catamarca, Salta, and Jujuy. This metal is not only a cornerstone for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and renewable energy storage but is also critical for the global transition to clean energy. Some analysts estimate that driven by the ever-growing global demand, the value of the electric vehicle industry alone could reach $1.3 trillion in the next three years. (CryptoPotato)
