Operational Realities of On-Chain Collateral
Tokenisation is expanding across diverse physical assets, from agricultural livestock monitored via IoT sensors to commodities and specialized inventory. However, creating a digital token does not automatically generate asset liquidity or resolve core legal questions surrounding ownership verification, asset depreciation, physical custody, insurance coverage, and cross-border enforcement during insolvency.
Reassembling the Role of Institutional Trust Layers
The success of real-world asset tokenisation depends on linking digital tokens with reliable legal structures, valuation methods, and physical verification systems. When integrated with regulated stablecoins or tokenised deposits, programmable settlement can automate payment and ownership transfer, positioning banks, custodians, and insurers as critical trust layers in the tokenised economy.
