Introduction

‍

The global financial system is full of valuable assets—private businesses, real estate, commodities, infrastructure projects—yet most of them remain illiquid. Investors cannot easily buy, sell, or access them.

Tokenization is fundamentally changing this by converting traditionally illiquid assets into investable digital units that anyone can own, trade, or transfer. As accessibility increases, trillions of dollars of “trapped wealth” will unlock—reshaping global investment flows.

‍

1. The World’s Most Valuable Assets Are Still Locked

More than $300 trillion worth of global assets are illiquid, including:

• Private equity
• SME shares
• Luxury assets (art, collectibles)
• Commercial property
• Farmland & natural resources

Tokenization breaks these assets into fractional, tradable units—opening doors for global investors.

2. Why Illiquidity Has Been a Problem

Traditionally, investors faced barriers such as:

• High buy-in thresholds
• Lengthy paperwork
• Slow settlement cycles
• Limited secondary markets
• Geographic restrictions
• ‍

For decades, only institutions or ultra-wealthy investors could benefit from these high-performing asset classes.

Tokenization changes this completely.

‍

3. How Tokenization Unlocks Value

Tokenization transforms assets into blockchain-backed digital securities which offer:

• Fractional ownership → lowers entry barriers
• 24/7 tradeability → improves liquidity
• Automated compliance → reduces friction
• Real-time transparency → increases trust

This makes previously inaccessible assets suited for a broader set of investors.

4. Asset Classes That Will Benefit the Most

‍

a) Real Estate

Tokenization enables investors to buy 1%, 5%, or 10% of high-value properties.

b) Private Credit

Tokenized loans and yield-bearing instruments are becoming top choices for risk-adjusted returns.

c) Infrastructure

Wind farms, solar plants, and toll roads can now raise capital from global investors.

d) SMEs & Startups

Small businesses can unlock growth capital without giving up full control.
