What is tokenization of assets?

Last reviewed:

Tokenization means creating a digital token on a blockchain that stands for a real-world asset, like a share of a building, a bond or a fund. The token records who owns the asset and can be transferred online. Owning the token only matters if the law and the company behind it honor your claim to the real asset.
