Asset tokenization converts ownership rights of physical and intangible assets (e.g., real estate, art) into digital tokens using blockchain technology, making ownership more accessible and transparent.
Fractional ownership is enabled allowing institutional or retail investors to buy, sell, and trade portions of assets, which increases liquidity and reduces financial barriers to entry.
Blockchain technology ensures secure, immutable, and transparent recording of ownership transactions, enhancing trust and efficiency in asset trading.
Real-world applications of tokenization include platforms like Lofty, where investors can buy and sell fractional ownership in rental properties, and large firms like BlackRock aiming to tokenize substantial asset portfolios.
Tokenization is also being applied in sports, allowing fans to invest in athletes and teams, democratizing investment opportunities in the sports industry.
