Definition ∞ Biotech assets are valuable resources derived from biotechnology research and development, such as intellectual property, experimental data, or novel therapeutic compounds. In the digital realm, these can be tokenized to represent ownership or access rights to biological data, research findings, or pharmaceutical innovations. This tokenization allows for fractional ownership and more liquid trading of traditionally illiquid assets.
Context ∞ The tokenization of biotech assets presents opportunities for novel funding mechanisms and democratized access to scientific research. A key discussion involves the regulatory treatment of such tokens and ensuring data privacy for sensitive biological information. Future developments anticipate blockchain facilitating collaborative research and transparent licensing of biotech intellectual property.
