Structured Credit Tokenization

Definition

Structured credit tokenization is the process of converting traditional debt instruments, such as loans or bonds, into digital tokens on a blockchain. This involves taking existing credit products, breaking them into smaller, tradeable units, and representing these units as tokens. These tokens can then be managed and traded on blockchain networks, potentially increasing liquidity, reducing settlement times, and lowering administrative costs. The underlying credit obligations remain the same, but their representation and transfer mechanisms are modernized.
