Tokenized Repurchase Agreements

Definition

Tokenized repurchase agreements are financial contracts for selling and repurchasing assets, represented as digital tokens. This term refers to “repo” agreements where the underlying assets, or the agreement itself, are represented on a blockchain as cryptographic tokens. These digital representations allow for automated execution, enhanced transparency, and fractional ownership of traditional repurchase agreements through smart contracts. The tokenization facilitates greater liquidity and operational efficiency within the short-term borrowing market.
