Asset Originator

Definition

An asset originator is the entity that initially creates or issues an asset. In digital finance, this refers to the party responsible for the initial creation and placement of a digital asset or the underlying real-world asset being tokenized. This entity establishes the initial terms, structure, and characteristics of the asset before its distribution or integration into a broader system. Their role is fundamental in defining the asset’s nature and its subsequent utility or value.
