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)
