Tokenization is the process of transforming any resource, such as an apartment or a work of art, into tokens that represent these assets in a digital environment and can be traded on a blockchain – much like dividing a property into several digital “slices” to make investment and trading easier in a decentralized digital registry system.

What can be “tokenized”?

Multiple items can be tokenized, such as real estate, loans, physical or digital art, among others. The CEO of Boost Research and cryptocurrency expert, André Franco, says that from a technological standpoint, anything can be digitalized.

“The big question is what allows and, mainly, what is in terms of security. Who guarantees that the asset that was tokenized has that value?”, questions the expert.

Franco points this out due to the security and regulation challenges, a factor still in development in Brazil, which can cause doubts and fears among potential investors of these resources.

What is the difference between token and cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum function as independent digital currencies, while tokens are created and operate within existing blockchains, such as Ethereum’s, and represent a specific asset within a digital ecosystem.

André Franco explains that both token and cryptocurrency use the same technological base, the blockchain.

“It’s this platform that unites assets. Basically, when we refer to what encompasses everything, we call it crypto assets, and within these crypto assets, we have tokens, cryptocurrencies, and so many other subclasses”, explains Franco.

What is Drex?

Drex is the digital version of the Real that is being developed by the Central Bank (BC). With the digitalization of the currency, the BC aims to modernize the financial system and make transactions faster and more secure.

The infrastructure of Drex also has the potential to boost the tokenization of other types of assets and thus facilitate the creation of new digital financial products and markets in Brazil. The expectation is that this digitalization of the economy will bring more financial inclusion and dynamism to the national market.

Drex still in development

However, the development of Drex is still slow due to security and project maturity issues. In February, the Central Bank announced that it would undergo a thorough review and a strategic pause to ensure the maturity of the initiative and adjust the guidelines.

André Franco adds that the scenario in tokenization in Brazil is doing well. However, there is still a lack of demand for assets in tokens, besides the need for clearer regulation on the subject.
