Investing has always relied on systems built decades ago. Tokenisation is a way of upgrading this old system for a digital world.
In simple terms, it involves creating a digital token on a secure network that represents ownership of a real-world asset, like a share in a company. This brings some powerful benefits compared to the traditional way of buying stocks.
Here’s what that means for you:
You can invest any time: Traditional stock markets have set opening and closing times. Tokenised assets can be invested in 24/7, giving you the freedom to act whenever it suits you.
It’s more efficient: When you buy a share traditionally, it can take two business days for the transaction to officially complete (a process called 'T+2 settlement'). With tokens, ownership can be transferred and settled in seconds.
True fractional ownership:Tokenisation makes it easy to divide assets into smaller pieces. This means you can invest in high-value assets with a smaller amount of capital. You own a fraction of the real asset, not a complex derivative.
