Mortgage Assets

Definition

Mortgage assets are loans secured by real estate property. These financial instruments represent claims on properties, where the borrower provides the real estate as collateral for a debt obligation. In traditional finance, they form the basis for mortgage-backed securities, which are pooled and sold to investors. The integration of mortgage assets with digital asset systems often involves tokenization, where ownership or fractional interests in these loans are represented on a blockchain. This digital representation aims to enhance liquidity, transparency, and accessibility for real estate financing.
