1. A method for rapid and secure ledger-less transfer of a ledger token, the method comprising:
generating a first public-private key pair comprising a public key usable as a public address of the ledger token of a distributed ledger network and a private key usable to transfer the ledger token of the distributed ledger network from the public address to a different public address;
verifying that a ledger transaction occurred on the distributed ledger network at least one of (i) associated an asset with the public address, and (ii) transferred the asset to the public address;
generating a possession token storable in physical memory and having a state of the possession token indicated by a state indicator,
wherein the state of the possession token evolves upon transfer between two computing devices over a network;
cryptographically associating the ledger token and the possession token through incorporation of the public address into data generating the state indicator of the state of the possession token;
encrypting the private key to form an encrypted private key; and
storing the encrypted private key in the possession token.
