Tokenization is a process that allows new things to be possible at the asset level itself. Onchain assets can represent an expanded set of rights, including cash flows, voting rights, access, utilization rights, naming rights, and more. Tokenization also enables programmability and customizability, allowing smart contracts to automatically administer rights and unlock exclusive access rights.
In traditional financial markets, assets are static and their ownership is passive. However, defi protocols allow onchain investors to do more than just passively hold their assets. Certain tokenized assets can be posted as collateral to borrow other assets or used in borrowing strategies or liquidity pools.
