Tokenized Exposure

Definition ∞ Tokenized exposure refers to gaining investment access to traditional or real-world assets through their digital representation on a blockchain. Instead of directly owning an asset like real estate or stocks, investors hold a token that represents a fractional or full claim to it. This mechanism allows for increased liquidity, fractional ownership, and broader market access. It digitizes asset ownership for efficient transfer and management.
Context ∞ Tokenized exposure is a rapidly growing sector within digital assets, aiming to bridge conventional markets with blockchain technology. Discussions center on the legal clarity of asset ownership, regulatory compliance for issuing and trading these tokens, and the valuation methods employed. Developments include a wider array of tokenized real-world assets, from commodities to intellectual property, and improved platforms for their issuance and secondary trading, attracting diverse investor participation.
