Tokenized Commodity Markets

Definition

Tokenized commodity markets are trading venues where ownership of physical commodities, such as gold, oil, or agricultural products, is represented by digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens allow for fractional ownership, enhance liquidity, and streamline the transfer of commodity rights, bypassing traditional intermediaries. By digitizing commodities, these markets offer increased transparency and auditability for asset provenance and ownership. This system aims to modernize commodity trading through blockchain efficiency.
