What assets can you (really) tokenize? From theory to real cases

Asset tokenization is one of the most revolutionary applications of blockchain technology.

It promises to transform industries by converting physical or digital goods into digital tokens that represent rights, ownership or participation.

However, not all assets are equally viable to be tokenized.

There are legal, regulatory and technical limitations that are important to understand in order to avoid errors and comply with current regulations.

This article explains what assets can actually be tokenized, what the main challenges are, and presents real cases to illustrate current possibilities.

What is asset tokenization?

Tokenization consists of representing rights to a real asset using digital tokens on a blockchain.

These tokens can be transferred, divided and managed in a secure and transparent manner.

The objective is to facilitate the liquidity, accessibility and traceability of traditionally illiquid or fragmented assets.

Key factors in determining the viability of tokenization

1. Legal and regulatory viability

Tokenizing involves issuing a digital asset that can be considered a security or security, depending on the jurisdiction and nature.

  • Financial assets: Stocks, bonds, or funds require compliance with strict stock market regulations and KYC/AML processes.
  • Real estate assets: Tokenizing property involves complying with property laws, contracts and real estate registration.
  • Intangible assets: copyright, intellectual property or licenses may have specific legal restrictions.

Specialized legal advice is essential to avoid sanctions or invalidations.

2. Technical viability

  • The asset must be able to be digitally represented clearly and securely.
  • The token must be able to be associated with legal or physical rights that support its value.
  • The chosen blockchain and protocol must support the required functionality (for example, divisibility, governance, transfer restrictions).

What assets can you actually tokenize?

1. Financial Assets and Securities

  • Tokenized actions: companies that issue tokens that represent parts of their share capital. Example: projects that issue security tokens with dividends or voting rights.
  • Bonds and Tokenized Debt: issuance of debt in tokenized form with automatic payments and transparent registration.
  • Investment Funds: fractional participation in funds, increasing liquidity.

Real example: Polymath and Securitize are platforms that facilitate the compliant issuance of security tokens.

2. Real estate

  • Tokenized fractional properties to facilitate collective investment
  • It allows you to buy and sell shares in a property without complex procedures.
  • It improves liquidity and access to real estate markets.

Real example: projects like RealT tokenize properties in the US, allowing investors to buy fractions and receive income distributed in tokens.

3. Intangible Assets and Intellectual Property

  • Copyrights and licenses can be tokenized to facilitate automatic management, commercialization and royalties.
  • Music, digital art (NFTs) or patents.

Real example: platforms such as Royal and Async Art allow artists and creators to tokenize their works and manage royalties through smart contracts.

4. Commodities and Commodities

  • Gold, oil, coffee and other commodities can be tokenized to improve traceability and facilitate purchasing/selling in digital markets.
  • It requires physical custody or legal contracts that support the token.

Real example: Pax Gold (PAXG) represents physical gold in custody, allowing it to be digitally exchanged with real backup.

5. Other physical assets

  • Vehicles, industrial machinery, works of art, collectibles can be tokenized, although the transfer of legal ownership can be more complex.
  • Use smart contracts to facilitate management and traceability.

Real example: Some museums and galleries are experimenting with tokenization for collectibles and exclusive works.

Real cases of successful tokenization

  • TZero: platform that offers compliant tokenization of securities for secondary markets.
  • RealT: tokenization of real estate in Detroit with automatic rent distribution.
  • Maecenas: tokenization of traditional art to democratize investment in exclusive pieces.
  • Paxos Gold (PAXG): token backed by physical gold, widely used in trading.

These examples show that tokenization is already a reality successfully applied in various sectors.

Challenges and Considerations for Tokenizing Assets

  • Changing regulation: blockchain regulations are evolving, it's key to keep up to date.
  • Custody and backup: ensure that the physical asset or right is actually secured.
  • Interoperability: choose blockchains compatible with your needs and with consolidated ecosystems.
  • User education: clearly explain what the token represents and what rights it confers.

Conclusion

Tokenization opens up a world of possibilities to democratize investment, improve liquidity and transparency.

But it's not a universal process: only certain assets, with legal support and clear technical conditions, are truly tokenizable.

Having legal advice, choosing the right technology and basing tokenization on assets with tangible value are the keys to success.

At Unknown Gravity, we accompany companies and projects to evaluate the real viability of their assets in order to rigorously tokenize them, complying with regulations and applying the best practices in the sector.
