Definition ∞ Tokenization models are frameworks or methodologies used to represent real-world or digital assets as digital tokens on a blockchain. These models define the properties, rights, and functionalities associated with each token, facilitating their transfer, management, and utilization within a decentralized ecosystem. They are foundational to creating digital representations of everything from securities and real estate to in-game items and intellectual property.
Context ∞ The proliferation of tokenization models is a significant development in the digital asset space, enabling new forms of asset ownership and fractionalization. Current discussions often revolve around the legal and regulatory implications of tokenizing different asset classes, the technical standards for interoperability between tokenized assets, and the potential for these models to unlock liquidity in traditionally illiquid markets. Future developments are anticipated in the standardization of tokenization protocols and the creation of robust secondary markets for a wider array of tokenized assets.
