Definition ∞ ‘Tokenized Assets’ are real-world or digital assets whose ownership rights are represented by digital tokens on a blockchain. This process transforms traditional assets, such as real estate, art, or securities, into tradable digital units. Tokenization facilitates fractional ownership, increases liquidity, and streamlines the transfer of ownership. It offers a mechanism for broader participation in markets previously constrained by accessibility and operational friction.
Context ∞ The landscape of ‘Tokenized Assets’ is rapidly expanding, with increasing interest in representing diverse asset classes on blockchain infrastructure. Discussions frequently center on the regulatory treatment of these tokens, particularly when they mirror traditional securities. The development of standardized frameworks for token issuance, custody, and trading is crucial for fostering broader institutional adoption and market integrity.
