The Tokenization industry has seen rapid growth in recent years, with more and more traditional assets being converted into digital tokens. This trend has been driven by the increasing popularity of Blockchain technology, which enables the creation and trading of digital assets in a secure and transparent way. One of the key advantages of Tokezisation is its ability to enhance liquidity, making it easier for asset owners to sell their holdings and access a broader pool of potential buyers. Tokenization also enables fractional ownership, meaning that investors can own a small portion of an asset rather than having to purchase it outright, making investment opportunities more accessible.
In addition to enhancing liquidity and fractional ownership, Tokenization can also provide global accessibility to assets. This is particularly important for assets such as real estate and art, which are typically only available to a limited pool of investors. By tokenising these assets, they can be made available to a global audience, opening up new investment opportunities and creating a more efficient market. This has the potential to benefit both asset owners and investors, as it increases the pool of potential buyers and sellers, reducing transaction costs and increasing market efficiency.
Tokengate is one of the leading players in the Tokenization industry, offering a multi-Blockchain design and white-labelling functionality to enable issuers to create and sell their tokens on any Blockchain platform. This makes it easier for asset owners to access a wider pool of potential buyers and sell their holdings more efficiently. The platform is also fully compliant with Swiss law, ensuring that all tokens created on the platform meet all necessary legal requirements.
One of the key advantages of Tokengate is its ability to tokenize a wide range of assets, from digital NFTs to real-world assets such as real estate, art, and financial instruments. This makes it a versatile platform that can be used by a range of asset owners to enhance liquidity and access new investment opportunities. The platform also uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure that all tokens created on the platform are secure and tamper-proof, providing investors with confidence in the integrity of the platform. Another advantage of Tokengate is its experienced team of pioneers in the software and legal realm, ensuring that all tokens created on the platform meet all necessary compliance checkmarks. This provides asset owners with a seamless experience when creating and selling their tokens, enabling them to take advantage of the benefits of tokenization without having to navigate complex regulatory and technical requirements.
Tokengate has successfully launched various tokenization projects already alongside reputable names and pioneering companies. Two of the lighthouse projects are described below:
Gault&Millau’s First NFT Project
Gault&Millau published their first NFT project in 2022 by HENRIS NFT Collection. Limited to 500 pieces, this token combines art and wine and was created by the German artist Yves Peitzner. With his atmospheric digital art composition Perfect Harmony, Peitzner presents a visually and aurally enveloping work as an exploration of wine between a natural, cultural and pleasure product. The origin lies in the sphere, which Peitzner metaphorically understands as a single grape berry. On the auditory level, Peitzner explores the aromatic potential of the berry with the help of an atmospherically swelling musical composition.
This NFT allows, after a period of aging and storage, to redeem a physical bottle of wine of the limited-edition wine Corbeaux 1251 by Gault&Millau. The vineyard chosen for the realisation of this project is the Weingut Burg Ravensburg, with its history going back to the year 1251. The selective hand harvest, the consistent spontaneous fermentation, the gentle pressing, and the renunciation of mechanical pumping processes are only some of the special features that make the wines of Burg Ravensburg.
FINKA Token – A First of its Kind Investment Vehicle
One of our success projects is the Finka Token, launched in 2019 and enabled by Tokengate. The Finka Token is a Swiss financial instrument with impact on financial inclusion and democratisation. This pioneering digital asset initiated its activities with the goal of converging stable and uncorrelated returns of an underlying liquid asset of cattle ranching with the benefits of Blockchain technology, eliminating barriers of entry for investors while reducing transactional hurdles. Cattle ranching is a stable value creation activity providing revenue with predictable costs. This investment type is a pioneering project and was made available for retail investors only since Finka GmbH started this tokenization innovation through an ERC20 token in collaboration with Tokengate. Consistent with its slogan “from grass to cash” Finka Token-holders receive yearly Net Operating Revenues every year since the inception of the project. The Finka Token provides a diversification alternative to investors’ portfolios, as an instrument that grants the rights to the NOR of La Pradera, a mature 22-year cash-positive ranching operation of approximately 4,000 cattle herd in Bolivia.
In March 2023, Finka GmbH launched the Finka Agri Token, another innovative instrument branching out into the agriculture industry, while leveraging on the same pioneering technology. Finka Agri follows a crop financing cycle, which provides an additional investment profile to the Ecosystem: short term and self-liquidating model in which the Blockchain-enabled financial instrument is minted upon plantation and reaps the rewards upon harvest, including a payback of investment plus return payable in fiat CHF.
Overall, tokenization is a key innovation that is transforming the investment landscape, enabling asset owners to enhance liquidity, fractional ownership, and global accessibility. Tokengate is a leading player in the tokenization industry, offering a versatile platform that can be used to tokenize a wide range of assets and access new investment opportunities. With its multi-Blockchain design, white-labelling functionality, and experienced team, Tokengate is well-positioned to drive the future growth of the tokenization industry and provide asset owners with new and innovative ways to enhance the value of their holdings.
