Tokenization
In recent years, private equity securitization has allowed to some extent to optimize transactions with this type of asset. At the same time, tokenization, which is a completely new method of making transactions, makes it much easier to buy, manage and sell assets. Tokenization involves the ownership of shares of private equity, represented by virtual tokens that exist on the blockchain. It uses the same technology as in the case of bitcoin and other initial offerings of tokens, adapted to meet the requirements of securities laws.
Tokenization is the process of creating a virtual token that represents a stake in private equity. Instead of formalizing the ownership of the legacy way on paper, investors get the opportunity to conduct transactions digitally using tokens. It is a fairly flexible tool. Tokens can represent a shareholding in private equity, a share in an enterprise that owns assets, a claim secured by private equity, a right to a portion of the income from private equity, and other types of rights.
Private equity tokens have several characteristics that allow you to implement this task:
- global investment pool;

- standardized transactions;
- transparency;
- security.
