More on tokenization

Tokenization

Assets become digital shares

Tokenization converts real assets into digital tokens. The asset is legally linked to a smart contract that maps the associated rights and obligations — like a classic security, only in digital form. This increases liquidity, allows division into smaller shares and opens access to new investor groups; settlement via the blockchain makes transactions transparent and efficient.

1 ASSET 25 DIGITAL SHARES

Divisibility — one asset becomes tradable shares · navy = placed shares

From real asset to tradable token — legally linked, digitally settled

PHASE 01

Identification & creation

Selection of the asset — from real estate and art to company shares — and structuring of the right solution: fiat-backed stablecoins or security tokens, smart contract administration, whitelist approvals.

PHASE 02

Custody & security

Creation of tokens via blockchain technology and smart contracts that ensure uniqueness and authenticity. A proven security platform protects the assets in custody, in transfer and against unauthorized creation.

PHASE 03

Trading & administration

Trading on specialized platforms or regulated exchanges, administration via digital wallets — plus an operations dashboard that lets token operators manage their daily transactions across the entire ecosystem.

“Tokenization — liquidity from illiquid assets.”
Michael Thomale
Pay-in & pay-out

The often forgotten challenge

Both directions planned from the start: generating capital and returning capital

STARTING POINT

Liquidity alone is not enough if there is no clear way to return capital. The ability to withdraw capital from tokenized assets (pay-out) is just as important as generating capital (pay-in) — and must be planned in from the very beginning.

SOLUTION

The payment service comprises mechanisms for selling tokens, settling transactions and transferring funds. Investments remain liquid, and access to one's own capital is assured whenever it is needed.

“Creating liquidity and enabling capital return — for flexible and successful investments.”

Benefits

What tokenization delivers

Liquidity

Increased liquidity through the digital tradability of assets.

Asset classes

Access to broader asset classes such as real estate or art.

Divisibility

Divisibility — smaller investments, accessible to smaller investors too.

Efficiency

Efficient administration and transactions via blockchain and smart contracts.

Transparency

Transparent and secure transactions through blockchain records.

Global access

Global access to investment opportunities without geographic restrictions.

Flexibility

Flexibility to tokenize different assets as needed.

Automation

Automation of processes — greater efficiency and cost savings.

RELEVANT FOR
  • Companies seeking to raise capital through their assets and improve access to investors
  • Asset owners and investors looking to unlock further capital through art or real estate
  • Large companies and market leaders positioning themselves in the digital market and offering opportunities to investors
  • Property owners and private individuals looking to digitalize trading, liquidity raising and processes
  • Financial institutions developing new revenue streams and innovative financial products
LESS RELEVANT FOR
  • Individuals and companies with no interest in digital financial products and blockchain technology
  • Companies with sufficient liquidity and access to traditional capital markets
  • Industries or assets with legal or regulatory restrictions
  • Investors who prefer traditional forms of investment and do not trust digital assets
Working together

How it begins

STEP 01

Appointment request

Secure a free introductory call via the contact form — a few short questions are all it takes.

STEP 02

Consultation

In a strategy consultation, your individual situation is assessed and a solution for your project is developed together.

STEP 03

Partnership

After the initial consultation, we connect you with a partner or accompany you through the implementation of your solution.

Six steps of tokenization

A well-thought-out business model and the right application of tokenization make a project viable. Technical and legal matters as well as the marketing strategy are taken care of — the process at a glance:

01

Starting position

Analysis of the potential and review of the status quo in the introductory call — including an initial assessment of the tokenization potential of your assets or your company.

02

Decision phase

Identification of the assets to be tokenized: company shares, profits, intellectual property or other assets — with expert support in the decision-making process.

03

Legal requirements

Review of the legal basis by the technical service provider. Tokenization is carried out in line with applicable regulatory requirements, including securities laws where applicable.

04

Technical implementation

Creation of the tokens via blockchain technology and smart contracts defining terms and properties — with review proposals and implementation recommendations from an expert perspective.

05

Marketing & administration

Marketing to investor communities, administration of the token holder registers and compliance with transparency and disclosure requirements — supported by viable tokenomics.

06

Secondary market

Public offering and trading of the tokens on specialized trading platforms or regulated exchanges — liquidity for you, investment opportunities for investors.

Assessment framework

Reviewed under the DAAF

Digital-asset projects rarely fail at a single discipline — they fail at the interfaces between law, structure and technology. That is why every project passes through the Digital Asset Assessment Framework (DAAF) before it is introduced to investors: a proprietary review framework with documented methodology, a standardized ten-step process and defined deliverables.

FOR INVESTORS

Independent review

Family offices, funds and institutional investors receive a documented, reproducible assessment before the investment decision — from an Initial Assessment based on the documents provided to a full-scope due diligence supported by a data room.

FOR ISSUERS

Readiness before investor contact

Projects are reviewed for corporate structure, technology, token structure and investor rights, regulation and governance. Gaps are not merely named — they become addressable as a prioritized action plan.

THE OUTCOME

Traceable deliverables

A review memorandum with consistently separated facts and assessment, findings and issues registers, and an Assessment Matrix by plausibility and impact — source-referenced and versioned.

At the core of the methodology is the separation of finding, open question and judgement: verifiable facts carry a source reference, open items move into the Issues Register with a concrete document request, and risk assessments are labelled as such. Before release, every memorandum passes an internal four-eyes review — the same documents lead to the same result, regardless of the analyst.

FAQ

The most important questions

What do tokenization and the services cost?
This depends on several factors — every asset and every company is different. We clarify your needs in a personal conversation; you receive a fair offer with access to exclusive investor communities.
What is tokenization, what is a token?
Tokenization refers to the conversion of real assets into digital tokens to improve handling and trading. The tokens represent a share or ownership of the respective asset; blockchain technology ensures transparency, trustworthiness and efficiency in administration and trading.
Which assets can be tokenized?
A broad range:
  • Real estate and properties: land, apartments, commercial properties, mines
  • Industry: production, innovation, start-ups, ships, aircraft, logistics
  • Artworks, precious metals and stones, commodities, luxury goods
  • Company shares, bonds, fund units, rights and licenses
  • Digital assets: cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, stablecoins
For whom will tokenization be relevant in the future?
For investors (access to broader asset classes), companies (higher asset liquidity), financial institutions (innovative financial products) and regulators (clear legal frameworks).
Why is tokenization considered forward-looking — advantages and disadvantages?
Advantages: increased liquidity, better access to asset classes, lower transaction costs, greater security through the blockchain, and direct peer-to-peer trading without intermediaries. Challenges: regulatory uncertainty, technical complexity and security risks that must be accounted for in the concept.
How does an asset tokenization work?
In five stages: selection of the asset, structuring of the token (quantity, value, utility or security token), tokenization on a blockchain platform, legal and regulatory compliance, then offering and trading. The exact process varies depending on the asset, platform and local legal framework.
