Fractional Ownership

Definition ∞ The division of an asset into smaller, individually owned units. This concept allows multiple parties to hold ownership stakes in a single asset, such as real estate or digital collectibles. It democratizes access to high-value assets by lowering the entry cost for individual investors.
Context ∞ Fractional ownership is increasingly being explored and implemented within the digital asset sphere, particularly through tokenization. This approach enables broader participation in markets previously accessible only to institutional investors or the affluent. Current discourse centers on the regulatory treatment and technical mechanisms facilitating this form of asset division.
