💡What is tokenisation?

...and why is it important?

Tokenisation reduces asset ownership's barriers to entry.

Picture a world where everyone, no matter their wealth or social status, has the ability to invest in high-value assets such as real estate, fine art, and stocks.

As the cost of real world assets - such as real estate, commodities, art, etc. - continue to rise globally, the ability for individuals (or couples) to owning their assets outright is becoming increasingly difficult.

This being the case, fractional or part-ownership of assets becomes an appealing proposition for investors and prospective asset owners who are looking to get into an asset class that would, ordinarily, be inaccessible.

With tokenisation and fractional ownership, this revolutionary idea is possible using Smart Legal Contracts.

What are Tokens?

Tokenisation and fractional ownership involve the creation of digital representations of physical assets, known as tokens, which can be bought and sold on blockchain networks.

This means that assets that were once out of reach due to high costs or regulatory barriers can now be purchased and traded with a much lower entry cost.

This innovation has the potential to transform the investment landscape by making it more accessible, efficient, and transparent. Imagine being able to own a fraction of a luxury apartment in a prime location, or a masterpiece by a famous artist, all without breaking the bank. With tokenisation and fractional ownership, this is no longer a far-fetched dream, but a realistic possibility.

Moreover, the increased liquidity that comes with fractionalised assets being traded more easily and quickly can attract more investors, leading to a more dynamic and competitive market. This can result in more lucrative opportunities for investors, further democratizing the investment landscape.

Finally, the transparency and security of the blockchain network make it an ideal platform for recording and verifying asset ownership and transactions, building trust and confidence in the market.

In conclusion, tokenisation and fractional ownership are a game-changer in the world of investments, offering a new and exciting way for everyone to participate in high-value assets that were once out of reach. It's time to take advantage of this revolutionary idea and become a part of the future of investing.
