Debt Tokenization

Definition

Debt tokenization is the process of representing traditional debt instruments as digital tokens on a blockchain. This transformation involves issuing tokens that represent ownership of a debt obligation, such as bonds, loans, or mortgages, allowing them to be traded and managed on a distributed ledger. Tokenization can fractionalize debt, making it more accessible to a wider range of investors and potentially increasing liquidity. It also offers enhanced transparency and automated settlement through smart contracts, streamlining traditional debt markets.
