The promise of tokenization is compelling. Real estate, stocks, bonds, art, commodities, and even private credit can now be represented as digital tokens that move instantly across blockchains. Advocates argue that tokenization will unlock liquidity, democratize investment access, and create a more efficient financial system. Yet beneath the excitement lies a difficult legal question: what […]
- Tokenization promises liquidity and efficiency but faces a critical 'off-chain enforcement problem' where legal rights, not just blockchain records, determine ownership.
- Investors may hold tokens that represent theoretical claims rather than legally enforceable rights, especially in bankruptcy scenarios where token holders can become unsecured creditors.
- Robust legal frameworks, clear ownership rights, and bankruptcy protections are as crucial as blockchain infrastructure for the success and legitimacy of tokenized assets.
