Tokenized Security

Definition

A tokenized security is a traditional investment asset, like a stock or bond, represented as a digital token on a blockchain. This refers to a traditional financial asset, such as a stock, bond, or real estate share, that has been digitally represented as a token on a blockchain. These tokens grant holders the same rights and obligations as the underlying security, but with the added benefits of blockchain technology, including fractional ownership, enhanced liquidity, and automated transfer mechanisms via smart contracts. Tokenized securities remain subject to existing securities laws and regulations.
