Asset tokenization refers to the process of converting rights to a real-world asset into a digital token on a blockchain or distributed ledger. These tokens represent ownership, rights, or claims on tangible or intangible assets and can be traded or transferred on digital platforms.
Overview
[edit]Asset tokenization leverages blockchain technology to digitize assets such as real estate, equities, commodities, intellectual property, and even art. Each token typically represents a fractional ownership stake, making high-value assets more accessible to a broader range of investors.
According to the World Economic Forum, tokenization can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and broaden access to financial markets by facilitating 24/7 trading and settlement without intermediaries.[1]
