Blockchain Tokenization Explained

Tokenization is technology that's poised to transform capital markets and the way companies raise money through crowdfunding. It is simply a process whereby some form of asset is converted into tokens which can be moved, recorded or stored on a blockchain network.

Blockchain works on a peer-to-peer basis where each transaction is recorded into a block without the need for any third party - which is why it's the backbone on which cryptocurrency like…
