Token

What crypto means by it

A unit of value recorded on a blockchain. It might be a dollar, a share of something, a voting right or a queue ticket. The word says nothing about what it is worth or what it does.

What you already know this as

Loyalty points, a prepaid balance, a share certificate or a cinema ticket. All units on someone's ledger, all called by different names precisely because they differ.
