Tokenized assets: the Essence

Tokenized assets are blockchain-based tokens that represent the ownership over particular tangible and intangible assets. Asset tokenization is aimed to help companies leverage secure and transparent transfer of asset ownership, fractionalized ownership of assets to increase their liquidity and reduce investment barriers, fast and cost-effective asset trading with no intermediary services. With a 50x increase predicted between 2022 and 2030, from $310 billion to $16.1 trillion, tokenized assets are expected to make up 10% of global GDP by the end of the decade.

Key capabilities tokenized assets provide

Asset-backed tokens and underlying smart contracts provide unique capabilities to meet specific asset management needs, improve asset liquidity, and streamline asset management.

Fractional asset ownership

A digital token can be created for a user-defined portion of an asset. This introduces the capability for shared ownership of an asset and partial asset trading.

Peer-to-peer asset trading

The ownership of tokenized assets can be transferred directly between asset owners and investors without the involvement of third-party intermediaries, such as governmental entities or financial institutions.

End-to-end asset traceability

Asset owners and investors can trace the whole history of activities performed over tokenized assets in a distributed ledger. It helps verify asset origin and provenance and prevent fraud and counterfeiting.

Compliance

Tokenized assets can be programmed to comply with AML/KYC, ISO 27001/27002, SEC, GLBA, PCI DSS, GDPR (for the EU), HIPAA (for healthcare), and other required regulations.

Smart contract-based automation

Smart contracts automatically enforce fixed actions related to tokenized assets upon particular events pre-defined by token issuers. For example, asset ownership is transferred to the investor upon payment for the asset.

Automated recordkeeping

All transactions on tokenized assets, including those initiated by smart contracts, are automatically validated, timestamped, cryptographically encrypted, and recorded in the immutable ledger available to asset owners and investors.

Benefits you get from tokenization assets

Increase in revenue

due to enhanced liquidity of a company’s assets, which drives their growth in value and reduces barriers to investment.

Reduction in costs

of transfer of asset ownership rights and settlement due to peer-to-peer asset trading and no need for third-party services.

Minimized risk

of financial losses associated with fraud and penalties for non-compliance due to token development, issuance and trading in accordance with relevant standards and regulations.

Eliminated human involvement

with token-related transactions processing due to smart contract-based automation, which provides an opportunity to optimize employee workload and cut labor costs.

Asset tokenization step

An asset tokenization process with What Da Hack looks as follows:

Selecting an asset to tokenize

We analyze your business needs, the needs of your target audience, and market trends to determine the assets to tokenize and ensure the economic feasibility of tokenization.

Defining the fitting token type

Depending on the type of asset to tokenize, we can issue utility tokens, security tokens, governance tokens, or NFTs.

Determining compliance requirements

Our in-house compliance experts analyze global, country- and industry-specific legal regulations relevant for the asset (e.g., SEC regulations for financial securities, HIPAA for healthcare assets).

Creating tokenomics

We deliver a tokenomics model for the tokenized asset, which defines token supply and demand characteristics, outlines token value, describes the rights associated with assets.

Choosing the optimal blockchain platform for asset tokenization

With your unique requirements in mind, we choose an optimal blockchain platform to tokenize your assets on. We can also build an asset tokenization platform on top of your existing blockchain network.

Developing smart contracts

We design and build smart contracts to tokenize an asset, program the asset's behavior, and automate compliance check with relevant legal regulations. Implementing a solution for tokenized asset management

We can develop a custom blockchain-based asset management application for token issuers and investors/token holders or establish the integration with a selected third-party crypto wallet.

Integrating the tokenized asset management solution with the required systems We connect the solution to accounting software, payment gateways, KYC/AML verification services, trading platforms, and other relevant systems.

Token issuance

We issue the tokens in the form of ITO, STO, IDO, etc. on your own or third-party blockchain platform to enable token distribution or primary purchasing of the tokenized asset by investors.

Token release on third-party trading platforms

(optional) We list your tokens on selected token exchanges to enable tokenized asset trading on a secondary market.

Asset tokenization costs

According to What Da Hack’s experience, an asset tokenization project of average complexity lasts 3–6 months and requires $30,000–100,000 in investments.

The cost and duration of asset tokenization vary greatly depending on:

The type of assets to tokenize
The required type of a token
The chosen blockchain platform for asset tokenization
The number and complexity of smart contracts
Cross-chain interoperability requirements for digital tokens
The number and complexity of applications (web, mobile, desktop) for token issuers and investors to manage their assets
The type of an asset management solution (a custom or a third-party crypto wallet)

Ethereum

The most popular blockchain to tokenize assets. Ethereum offers a range of established standards and frameworks to easily design and launch various types of tokens. However, Ethereum’s popularity results in low transaction processing speed and drives high transaction costs, which makes the platform economically unfeasible for smaller businesses.
