Tokenized Asset

A tokenized asset is a real-world or digital asset that has been converted into a blockchain-based token representing ownership or rights. This process allows physical or traditional financial assets, such as real estate, stocks, or commodities, to be represented and traded digitally. Tokenized assets are typically issued and managed using smart contracts, which define their structure, ownership, and transfer rules. In crypto, they enable fractional ownership, improved liquidity, and more accessible global markets. They also provide transparent and verifiable records of ownership on the blockchain.
