Digital securities are a central component of tomorrow's capital market. As assets that are mapped on the blockchain, they consist of a legal and a technical part. In order to map an asset on the blockchain, so-called tokens are issued via a smart contract, which represent the asset digitally. This process is called tokenization.

Tokenization elevates every asset into a digital age
Any asset is converted into a digital security with the help of tokenization. Digitalization significantly reduces costs while increasing efficiency. The digital assets are also transferable - this increased flexibility is very attractive for investors. The use of innovative blockchain mechanisms also increase transparency, which in turn increases trust between all market participants.

Every investment can be tokenized
Tokenization provides many key benefits
Reduced costs
Tokenization digitalizes securities and thereby eliminates many expensive intermediate parties. This means that the costs in each step are much lower than with traditional securities transactions.
Fast settlement
Through tokenization, many previously paper-based processes are now digitalized. Thus, the speed of transactions is considerably increased through the use of digital securities.
Global transferability
The transfer of assets is drastically simplified by tokenization. Assets that were previously illiquid can now be easily transferred worldwide 24/7. This increases their attractiveness.
High transparency
Transactions are stored unchangeably and transparently on the blockchain. They are therefore securely traceable at all times. This strengthens the trust between all parties.

Frequently asked questions
What does tokenization mean and what is a token?
The BaFin defines tokenization as 'the digitalized representation of a (property) value including the rights and obligations contained in this value and its transferability made possible by this'. The digital representation is usually implemented on the blockchain. To map an asset on the blockchain, so-called tokens are issued. Each of these tokens represents a certain proportion of the mapped value. For this purpose, a contract is usually set up to define the rights and obligations resulting from a token. The tokens can be transferred completely digitally to another party. This also transfers all rights and obligations from the contract. Tokenization can therefore make an asset completely digitally transferable. If an asset is transferable and is largely standardized, BaFin considers it to be a security in the regulatory sense. The tokenized assets are therefore also called digital securities.
Which assets can be tokenized?
In principle, almost any asset can be tokenized. As a rule, the legal situation in the jurisdiction of the issuing party and the structuring of the security is decisive.
Tokenization of corporate investments
In Germany, company participations are currently tokenized predominantly in the form of a profit participation right. Profit participation rights are very flexible and can fully reflect a company participation in economic terms. A tokenized share or GmbH share is planned by the German government in its blockchain strategy, but has not yet been implemented. In other jurisdictions, such as Lichtenstein, company shares can already be completely tokenized.
Tokenization of real estate
Real estate can be tokenized via a so-called SPV (Special-Purpose-Vehicle). For this purpose, a company is set up whose purpose is to hold the real estate. The shares of this company are tokenized, making shares in the property transferable.
Tokenization of tangible assets
The tokenization of tangible assets, e.g. art, is usually very similar to the tokenization of real estate. To do this, the tangible assets are transferred to an SPV (special-purpose vehicle), which is then tokenized.
Tokens for (existing) securities
Even existing securities, e.g. a share, can be tokenized. A legal structure similar to a tracker certificate can be used to directly reflect the value of an existing security.
How does tokenization work?
In tokenization, an asset is legally linked to a digital representation (token) on the blockchain. With our Tokenization-as-a-Service infrastructure, no special blockchain know-how is required. You can either use our web-based Cashlink Studio to tokenize assets. Alternatively, you can connect our Tokenization API to your existing system. Our team will be happy to advise you and guide you through the entire process.
