Fund Share Tokenization

Definition ∞ Fund share tokenization is the process of converting traditional investment fund shares into digital tokens on a blockchain. This allows for fractional ownership, increased liquidity, and automated management of fund units. Each token represents a verifiable share of the underlying fund’s assets. This method streamlines administrative processes and broadens access to investment opportunities.
Context ∞ The primary discussion concerns the regulatory clarity required for the widespread adoption of fund share tokenization in traditional financial markets. A key debate involves establishing compliant frameworks for asset custody, transfer, and investor onboarding. Future developments will likely involve the integration of tokenized fund shares with existing trading platforms and the exploration of new distribution channels for these digital investment products.
