Tokenization and Issuance

Create connected, regulatory-grade tokenization solutions to unlock new markets, new products and new opportunities.

Asset tokenization is on the rise, but representing assets in new digital forms is not enough to answer the deep-rooted industry challenges in capital markets. Whether digitally native, or in the form of tokenized real world assets, their value will lie in the utility and mobility of these tokens across financial markets. With a platform that enables the end-to-end tokenization of assets by fully capturing their rights, obligations and lifecycle events, firms use Digital Asset’s software to launch applications that shrink issuance timeframes, reduce risk with atomic settlement, cut corporate actions costs, and streamline operations.
