Asset tokenization is the process of converting ownership rights of real-world assets into blockchain-based tokens. The possibilities of tokenization are limitless since it allows fractional ownership and proof-of-ownership. Below are the four common classes of assets that can be tokenized:
- Real estate: Tokenization of real estate enables fractional ownership, opening the doors for high capital and more market participation.
- Commodities: Commodity tokenization creates new market opportunities from the sourcing to the trading point
- Private equity shares: Tokenization of equity shares enables businesses to interact with shareholders by offering useful information on a joint, transparent, and immutable ledger.
- Physical goods: Tokenization of illiquid assets like art, wine, jewelry, partnership shares, etc., facilitates provenance, lending, and more price discovery.
