Tokenization means creating digital representations of assets via the blockchain so they can be traded, tracked and managed more easily. Any asset can be tokenized, from stocks to real estate and commodities. The tokens are effectively ‘digital deeds’, says Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock. But what are the advantages of tokens?
Tokenization is reshaping the world of investing by turning physical and financial assets into digital tokens on the blockchain. These tokens act like digital deeds, simplifying how assets are traded, tracked, and managed.
Faster transactions and 24/7 markets
Traditional trades take days to settle. Tokenization automates the process, enabling transactions to clear in minutes and keeping markets open around the clock.
Making investing more inclusive
Tokenization allows expensive assets like real estate to be split into smaller shares. This means people can start investing with as little as $10, opening new doors for those traditionally excluded from financial markets.
A game-changer for underserved regions
In emerging markets where investing options are limited, tokenization makes it possible for users to invest directly from their smartphones. Lower transaction costs and reduced provider fees further boost accessibility.
