Tokenized Equity refers to the digital representation of traditional company shares or ownership stakes issued and managed on a blockchain. These tokens grant holders rights and responsibilities analogous to conventional equity, such as voting privileges or dividend distributions. The core purpose is to digitize and potentially fractionalize ownership of real-world assets.
Mechanism
The operational mechanism involves encoding equity ownership data onto a blockchain-based token, typically adhering to established token standards like ERC-20 or ERC-721. This enables immutable record-keeping of ownership, automated dividend payouts through smart contracts, and potentially 24/7 trading on regulated digital asset platforms. Regulatory compliance, including KYC/AML, is often integrated into the token’s smart contract or issuer’s platform.
Methodology
The strategic approach of tokenized equity aims to enhance capital markets by increasing liquidity, reducing administrative overhead, and expanding investor access to both private and public company shares. This methodology allows for fractional ownership, potentially lowering investment barriers and enabling more efficient secondary markets. It necessitates a robust legal and technical framework to ensure compliance with securities regulations and to maintain investor protections.
