2nd Global Enterprise Blockchain Benchmarking Study
Rise of asset tokenisation Tokenisation is already underway for assets ranging from traditional financial instruments to real estate and art. For some assets, tokenisation can fractionalise ownership, which may facilitate a larger investor base and hence potentially increase market liquidity. For other uses, tokenisation can introduce new economic incentive mechanisms to influence consumer and business behaviour on digital platforms. Tokenisation allows logic to be embedded into the security, facilitating automation of tasks such as regulatory compliance. As noted by industry actors, tokenisation will drive significant future usages of enterprise blockchain platforms by banks, exchanges, asset managers and custodians.35
