Revenue Rights

Definition ∞ Revenue rights grant holders a claim to a specified portion of future income generated by an asset, project, or enterprise. These rights can be tokenized or represented through traditional financial instruments. They provide a direct financial interest in ongoing operations.
Context ∞ In the digital asset space, revenue rights are frequently associated with utility tokens or security tokens that provide holders a share of protocol fees, platform earnings, or decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) treasury distributions. News often covers the legal and economic implications of tokenized revenue rights, particularly concerning their classification as securities and their function in decentralized governance models. This area is subject to evolving regulatory interpretations.
