cashing in
Converting to money
Cashing in means converting something into money or taking advantage of an opportunity for gain.
You cash in chips at a casino, cash in savings bonds at a bank, or cash in on a trend by exploiting it: Tech companies cashed in on the AI boom.
The phrase often carries a slightly cynical edge, suggesting opportunism: Politicians cashing in on public fear.
