Tokenization is a new trend within asset management/ownership where an asset (for example, a real estate property, or a commodity) is divided up into tokens. These tokens are representative of shares in the property. Tokenization enables fractional ownership of property, opening up investment opportunities for individuals who otherwise may not have had access to investing in certain assets. Also, it provides diversification options for investors that are looking to diversify their portfolio without making major investments. It is the safer way to diversify.
Asset Tokenization are given out in something which is similar to an ICO. They are put out in what is known as an STO (Security token offering). They are also referred to as tokenized asset offerings (TAOs).
Tokenization is an emergent trend within asset management/ownership that is set to redefine how we look at/perceive investing.
