Tokenized Custody

Definition

Tokenized custody refers to holding digital assets where ownership is represented by a token. This concept involves a system where the right to an underlying asset, whether physical or digital, is digitally represented as a blockchain token. The token acts as a verifiable proof of ownership or claim, allowing for easier transferability and fractionalization of assets that might otherwise be illiquid or indivisible. It combines the security and immutability of blockchain technology with the practical management of assets by a custodian.
