What does a tokenization platform do? The tokenization platform perform a technical solution. Due to all the important factors that go into launching a security token offering there are many companies referred to as tokenization platforms that are working towards easing the process of launching and managing a security token. Tokenization platforms can help bring together all of the aspects of an offering into one place. During the actual issuance of the token there are compliance platforms that can ease the process of onboarding investors, streamlining the KYC and AML processes and providing traceability and reporting information to stay in compliance with all necessary regulations while best serving the investors. Some others will act as transactional platforms to ease the process of obtaining investors payments and also managing the actual token allocation. After the security token has been issued and allocated to the investors, companies will have to handle the lifecycle management of the token. During this phase compliance platforms can provide for investor portals, allowing investors access to the information regarding their token and the company’s performance. Compliance platforms also provide for ongoing KYC/AML compliance as well as easing traceability and reporting processes and validating whether or not tokens can be traded and to whom. Transactional platforms provide key services such as managing the actual token transfers and managing revenue distributions such as dividend payments to investors. These platforms will use blockchain technologies differently. Some will have all of the compliance logics off-chain and create a lot of dependencies to their service. Others will use blockchain standards to ensure interoperability and to provide security and flexibility to the issuer.

Summary:
This platform is an example of how the blockchain is being to facilitate commerce. Tokenization allows for the collateralization of loans with assets with lots of equity, but little liquidity. This new financial strategy allows previously unreachable equity, which was locked in certain assets to become liquid and used for other purposes. Oddly enough real estate is an asset with the largest amount of untapped equity. Very expensive luxury buildings or very large hotels may be cash poor, but equity rich as the value of the lands and buildings. But other than conventional loans, which have large monthly payments and are very detrimental to cash flow there are few ways for the owner to tap into that equity. However tokenization of such properties allows the tokens to be used as collateral for loans, which allows the owners of the asset to unlock the equity in the form of cryptocurrency, which can be exchanged for the fiat currency of their choice.

Additionally, this process of tokenization allows for both fractional sales and fractional investments. This fraction through tokenization allows collectibles like paintings, antiques, rare jewelry and other similar items with high values but small markets, thus large amounts of equity which cannot be reached to finally be monetized. The tokenization process opens the way for the item owner to sell a large portion of the item and generate hard cash from those sales, but still retain control over the asset through either retained majority ownership or terms of the sale. For example the owner of a rare piece of jewelry could either sell all of it, but specify the item wouldn’t be sold for three years as one option. Or the owner could sell less than 50% of the Tokens, retaining majority ownership control and thus retaining the right to decide when to sell and for how much. But during the period between sale Token sale and item sale, the owner would have full use of the cash generated by the token sale and no loan payments.

These two examples are the simplest forms of monetization of untapped equity. There is a third option, where the owner uses the asset as collateral for a loan, and then uses the proceeds to buy an asset which generates enough cash to pay the loan payments of the loan used to buy the second asset. Thus the owner of an asset uses the loan proceeds to buy an additional asset, which he/she will eventually own without spending their own money, its entirely paid for by monetizing untapped asset equity and the owner doesn’t give up ownership of the original asset. This type of creativity is just the starting point for many new financial strategies being developed in this new niche. There are several companies in this niche and they are already starting to specialize in particular parts of this new field and develop cookie cutter solutions to perform specific type of asset tokenization repeatedly to hone their skills and lower both costs and complexity.
