Definition ∞ A tokenized investment represents ownership or economic rights in an underlying asset through a digital token on a blockchain. This process converts traditional assets, such as real estate, stocks, or commodities, into digital tokens, making them divisible, transferable, and potentially more liquid. Each token typically corresponds to a fractional share or specific claim on the asset. Tokenization aims to democratize access to investments and streamline ownership transfers through blockchain technology.
Context ∞ Tokenized investments are a significant area of innovation in digital finance, offering new possibilities for asset ownership and trading. Regulatory clarity around these assets is still developing, particularly concerning their classification as securities or other financial instruments. The future growth of tokenized investments depends on robust legal frameworks, technological standards, and increased institutional adoption.
