TAP INTO new markets

Asset tokenization is unlocking new market value and dramatically changing the investment landscape by widening investor pools and facilitating the creation of new asset classes. Tokenization and fractionalization fuse together to open the floodgates to fairer, less expensive, and less corrupt markets.

JOIN INSTITUTIONS GETTING AHEAD

Many financial institutions are developing tokenization offerings as they recognize the opportunity asset tokenization and blockchain technology represent for streamlining asset management and unlocking new market value across both physical assets and digital assets.

Benefits of asset tokenization

Improved asset management

Take advantage of instant settlement, 24-hour trading, reduced counterparty risk, easier accounting and improved operations with blockchain technology’s transparency and automation.

Better capital flow and liquidity

Blockchain-based tokenization creates new pathways to access previously illiquid or siloed  physical and digital assets by widening investor pools and expanding the range of available and acceptable investments and collateral.

Lower barriers to entry

Tokenization facilitates granular asset representation that can support fractional ownership, subject to issuer-defined legal structures.

Portfolio diversification

Tokenized assets offer investors increased access to a broader range of investment types, including traditionally high-barrier asset classes such as commercial real estate or private funds.

What is asset tokenization?

Asset tokenization is the process of converting the ownership value (and any associated rights) stored in tangible or intangible assets into tokens on the blockchain, enabling a digital representation of ownership.

Tokens are useful vehicles for the creation, management, servicing, and trading of assets.

What are security tokens?

Depending on an asset’s nature and relevant regulations, a token may qualify as a security, commodity, or another asset class. Security tokens refer to tokens that represent securities, as defined under applicable regulations. Classification depends on the asset type and jurisdicton.

Are security tokens fungible?

Most security tokens make sense as fungible tokens, however some use cases are better modelled by non-fungible tokens, such as unique bonds, derivatives, or swaps. While fungible tokens are interchangeable and divisible, non-fungible tokens represent a unique value with unique information and attributes.

Polymesh natively supports fungible and non-fungible tokens.
