What is Tokenization?
Tokenization turns real-world assets (buildings, gold, invoices, even cocoa beans) into digital tokens on a blockchain.
🇬🇭 Example:
Imagine a GHS 1,000,000 apartment complex in Accra. Instead of one buyer, you create 10,000 digital tokens each worth GHS 100. People can buy fractions of the property!
Why tokenization matters:
- ✓ Unlocks liquidity for expensive assets
- ✓ Makes investing affordable (fractional ownership)
- ✓ Enables 24/7, global trading
- ✓ All ownership records live on-chain (transparent)
