Top 5 RWA Use Cases: Real Estate, Commodities, Carbon Credits & More

Tokenization of physical assets is happening in sectors from real estate to commodities and carbon credits. Tokenization use cases are unleashing new liquidity and business models. They enable individuals to invest fractionally in real estate, trade gold 24/7 in the form of crypto tokens, or track carbon credits transparently. Interest is building as tokenization provides liquidity, accessibility, and efficiency that conventional asset markets can’t replicate. 

Even the heavy hitters like BlackRock and Fidelity have gotten on board, and total tokenized market capitalization could reach around $2 trillion by 2030 (excluding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and stablecoins like Tether). In this article, we will discuss examples of tokenization worth your attention in 2025.

Highlights:

• Real estate tokenization is now a flagship example, turning high-value properties into fractional shares tradable globally.
• Commodity tokens (like gold-backed stablecoins) let investors hold assets like gold or oil in small increments, bringing 24/7 liquidity and DeFi integration to historically illiquid markets.
• Carbon credit tokens are emerging to improve transparency and trust in carbon markets.
• Invoices and receivables are being tokenized to give businesses faster access to cash while allowing DeFi lenders to earn yield from real-world economic activity.
• Luxury goods tokenization via NFTs enables fractional investment in collectibles (art, watches, wine) and ensures provenance and authenticity through immutable digital records.

Why Tokenization of Real-World Assets Makes a Difference

Tokenization of real-world assets (shortened to RWA tokenization in crypto) has far-reaching implications for finance, investment, and business. By converting physical assets or legal rights into digital tokens on a blockchain, tokenization makes historically illiquid or inaccessible assets tradable, divisible, and accessible worldwide.

This paradigm shift is closing the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) and offering new opportunities for both owners of assets and investors in 2025. Let`s start by answering the question “What is tokenization and how tokenization works?”

What is real-world asset tokenization?

Tokenization of a real asset means converting a physical or intangible asset into a digital token that is written on a blockchain. In practice, it means taking something of value – a building, a bar of gold, an invoice, etc. – and generating tokens representing the ownership or rights over it. Each token is generally backed by the real asset (typically by legal agreements or custodians), so a tokenholder has a claim on the actual asset.

How does tokenization do this? First, the asset is discovered and prepared legally (ownership verified, relevant laws met). Next, a smart contract issues tokens that are claims on the asset (e.g., 10,000 tokens where each token owns 0.01% of a building). Those tokens are launched on a blockchain network and are buyable, sellable, or tradable, with each tokenized transaction recorded immutably on the ledger.

What problems does it solve?

Tokenization explicitly addresses several of the age-old problems with how real assets are being bought and sold:

• Illiquidity. Many of these assets, like real estate, art, or loans, are hard to sell quickly and carry high barriers to entry. Tokenization unlocks liquidity in traditionally illiquid markets by enabling fractional ownership and easier trading. Instead of holding on for weeks to sell an entire property, an owner could sell tokens representing 5% of it within minutes on a digital trading platform.
• Access and globalization. Tokenization enables anyone, anywhere, to invest in assets previously beyond their reach. It unleashes a borderless market for assets that’s open 24/7 – you could have an interest in a German warehouse or an LA music catalog through your phone.
• Speed and efficiency. Blockchain allows for 24/7 trade and real-time settlement of token trades, compared to traditional transactions that involve slow middlemen and business-hour restrictions.
• Transparency and trust. All token transactions are recorded on an untamperable ledger, so there is full transparency of the ownership history of the asset.
• Programmability. Tokens are software. Therefore, ownership and asset management can have programmable rules. For instance, rental income can be automatically transferred to owners, or transfer restrictions can be put in place in order to comply with regulations.

Governments and financial regulators have already begun to consider frameworks to accommodate tokenized assets. We mean Singapore’s Project Guardian pilots and the EU’s new DLT sandbox regime. The speed shows that real-world asset tokenization is no bubble but a sea change toward a more efficient and inclusive financial system.

Tokenization Use Case #1 – Real Estate

Real estate is the flagship use case for tokenization, and for a good reason. Property is a high-value, illiquid asset class that historically has high buy-in costs and long transaction times. Tokenizing real estate solves these issues by enabling fractional ownership and digital liquidity.

Why tokenize real estate?

For example, instead of a single investor needing $10 million to buy a building, the building can be divided into 10,000 tokens at $1,000 per token for an offer to investors globally. This enables smaller investors to invest in high-value property and owners/developers to raise capital from a larger pool.

Another major benefit is liquidity. Traditional real estate could take years or months to sell. Tokenized real estate can be traded on secondary markets relatively quickly. Each token can be sold at any time, without requiring a full property sale, which increases liquidity for an otherwise illiquid asset.

Making a tokenized transaction also becomes faster – settlement is on-chain, bypassing much of the “9-to-5” constraints and escrow processes. Tokenization also lowers the cost of transactions by cutting out intermediaries like brokers and notaries (smart contracts handle much of the work). And because everything is on an open ledger, it’s easier to verify property ownership and title history, reducing due diligence friction.

Real-world examples

Tokenized property is not conceptual. Several tokenization use cases have already placed property on blockchains:

• RealT. It is a platform that has tokenized over 535 properties (mostly single-family homes and rentals) worth about $101 million, with over 16,100 investors from 100+ countries. Each property is held in an LLC, and investors buy tokens representing ownership interests. In return, they receive rental income in stablecoins.
• International tokenized buildings. There have been a number of tokenized real estate projects outside the U.S. For instance, in Spain, a firm called Reental has tokenized over 95 properties (valued at $70M) across the nation.

At IdeaSoft, we understand how to integrate the necessary legal structures (e.g., property-owning SPVs), compliance (KYC/AML for investors), and smart contract design to make real estate tokens both functional and secure. If you look for a reliable partner, contact us.

Value for businesses

For real estate companies, tokenization offers genuine value:

• Democratized fundraising;
• Faster, cheaper transactions;
• Secondary market & liquidity;
• Global exposure and brand promotion.

Examples of tokenization show that real estate firms can do more with their assets – raise capital in new ways, transact faster, and attract the next generation of investors. It’s a good tool to bring a traditionally conservative industry into the modern era.

Tokenization Use Case #2 – Commodities

Investing in raw commodities is typically difficult for individuals. It can involve buying in large minimum quantities, storing (for physical gold, say), or using complex financial instruments. Tokenization transforms this by developing digital tokens 1:1 backed by the commodity that individuals can trade in fractional quantities.

What’s being tokenized and why

Imagine being able to buy $50 worth of gold or a few barrels of oil with the ease of buying crypto – that’s what tokenizing commodities enables. Commodities like precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), energy resources (oil, natural gas), and even agricultural products (coffee, grains) are being tokenized to make them more accessible and liquid.

Gold is the best example. Several companies have created gold-backed tokens where one token represents some amount of physical gold in a vault (usually one troy ounce of gold per token). The tokens are essentially a digital proxy for gold bars, making it easier for investors to get exposure to the price of gold without the need to handle physical bullion. This concept has really picked up steam – in fact, gold-backed cryptocurrency tokens now represent a market worth over $1 billion. As of late 2024, gold tokens represented 90% of the overall tokenized commodity value, with a combined market cap of around $1.17 billion.

The two largest gold tokens are Paxos Trust’s PAX Gold (PAXG) in the United States and Tether’s Tether Gold (XAUT) in Europe, both having hundreds of millions of dollars in circulation, backed one-to-one by physical gold in vaults. Investors like these because they track the price of gold, are an inflation hedge, and can be traded 24/7 or utilized in DeFi lending for yield.

Beyond gold, we’re also seeing the tokenization of other commodities in early stages. For example, there have been projects creating tokens for oil. Likewise, tokens for industrial metals like copper or nickel, or for agricultural goods (e.g., tokenized coffee beans or wheat) are being piloted.

Projects & platforms

These tokenization use cases are leading the way in commodity tokenization:

• Gold-backed tokens. As mentioned, Paxos’ PAXG and Tether’s XAUD are significant gold tokens, both of which are backed by one ounce of London Good Delivery gold. The tokens can be used freely or swapped for physical gold through the issuers. Also, traditional gold dealers and refiners (like Perth Mint and others) have launched tokenized gold products to span the crypto markets.
• Other commodity stablecoins. There are even experimental stablecoins pegged to the price of commodities – i.e., there have been projects that have issued tokens pegged to a barrel of Brent crude oil, or tokens for coffee beans, etc. These typically work by using futures or reserve funds to maintain the peg. Not yet mainstream, but they show how the tokenization technology can be applied to any commodity.
• Commodity trading platforms on blockchain. New startups are emerging that bring tokenization to commodity supply chains and trading. For instance, Komgo and Centrifuge have explored tokenizing trade finance instruments like warehouse receipts for metals or invoices for goods (overlapping with the invoice use case). There are also pilots in agricultural supply chains using tokens to represent and track shipments of crops to improve transparency from farm to market.
• Hadron by Tether (commodities exchange). Surprisingly, Tether (of USDT stablecoin fame) in 2023 introduced Hadron, a platform to tokenize a number of assets, including commodities. They set out to enable institutions to issue tokens for products like gold, oil, and even carbon credits on one platform. Initiative by a large stablecoin player shows that there is growing interest in this space.

At IdeaSoft, we focus on the security side – smart contract audits, custody solutions, and compliance (commodities tokens can sometimes fall under securities or money transmission laws). Whether you’re considering launching a new gold token or a platform for tokenized commodities trading, our blockchain engineers understand the technical and business logic needed. 

Benefits

Commodities tokenization use cases yield benefits for both investors and the broader market:

• Stable crypto and DeFi assets;
• Global, 24/7 market access;
• Transparency and efficiency of trades;
• Programmable supply chains.

Overall, commodity tokenization is all about bringing greater liquidity and access to markets that were once siloed. It offers traditional investors a new way to diversify into hard assets, and commodity-rich sectors new trading and financing tools.

Tokenization Use Case #3 – Carbon Credits

A company trying to balance emissions may have to deal with different registries in different geographies, and there is typically low liquidity (credits trade in bilateral, over-the-counter deals). Better still, the carbon markets are full of a lack of transparency.

The problem with traditional carbon markets

Carbon offsets and credits are a powerful weapon against climate change, but the old carbon market is infamous for being opaque and disjointed. In current voluntary carbon markets, there are numerous registries and issuers of credits with varying standards. This makes it difficult to trade or compare credits between platforms.

Double-counting of credits and fraud have been serious concerns. Double-selling is selling or charging for the same reduction of carbon twice – plainly undermining the integrity of offsets. Without a single ledger to bind them all, a credit retired in one registry could unwittingly (or even intentionally) be sold for a second time in another.

“Ghost credits” (credits that don’t match up with actual reductions of emissions, or are inflated) have also filled the headlines. In effect, the system currently relies on trust in each registry and paper-based records, which may be defective or fabricated.

Another obstacle is slow, ineffective processes. It takes months of audits and paperwork to certify and issue a carbon credit. Trading them is typically cumbersome through contracts and agents, so settlement is time-consuming and expensive.

Tokenized carbon credits in action

Examples of tokenization, like Toucan Protocol, have led the way in on-chain carbon credit distribution. Toucan used voluntary registry credits (like Verra’s standard) and allowed users to “bridge” these credits into crypto tokens on the Polygon chain. This created fungible carbon tokens that could be traded or used in DeFi.

Another project, KlimaDAO, created a whole DeFi platform on tokenized carbon credits. They would buy and lock carbon tokens and earn yields on them in exchange. Users could buy and lock carbon tokens to earn yields, effectively creating a carbon-backed digital currency aimed at driving up the price of carbon (to incentivize more climate action).

Importantly, major enterprises and institutions are now piloting tokenized carbon credits. In July 2025, S&P Global (the market intelligence firm) and J.P. Morgan’s blockchain division launched a pilot to tokenize carbon credits. The objective is to use blockchain and smart contracts in voluntary carbon markets so that they become more transparent, trustworthy, and liquid.

This strategy addresses the past concerns directly. A public blockchain ledger can prevent double spending of credits, and smart contracts can ensure retirement of a token when a credit is redeemed. The involvement of S&P (a traditional finance data giant) shows a recognition that tokenization can bring standardization to a fractured market. We’ve also seen IBM partner with a Veridium to tokenize credits from a rainforest conservation project, and the World Bank’s Climate Warehouse project exploring blockchain for aggregating global carbon credit data.

The European Union and other jurisdictions that encourage ESG finance have been embracing similar innovation since tokenization can be made compatible with reporting platforms. Tokenized carbon credits have been seen early on in the EU and Asia, where policy environments are conducive to climate tech.

Business impact

Carbon credit tokenization use cases are highly beneficial: 

• Improved ESG credibility;
• Greater market liquidity and better pricing;
• More funding and access for projects;
• Automation and efficiency gains.

Instant integration is possible with tokenized credits and can differentiate companies with new climate-positive offerings.

Tokenization Use Case #4 – Invoices & Receivables

In simple terms, tokenizing an invoice means creating a digital asset that represents the value of that invoice (minus some discount). This token can then be sold or used on a lending platform to get immediate cash, and the buying investor essentially gains the right to future payment of the invoice. Blockchain ensures that the same invoice cannot be financed more than once (anti-fraud) and that all transactions are traceable. This use is important as it democratizes access to working capital.

Why it matters

For the majority of businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), cash flow is a chronic issue. Companies habitually have money tied up in accounts receivable – invoices paid in 30, 60, or 90 days, sometimes longer. Conventional options like invoice factoring or bank credit facilities are expensive, time-consuming, and available only to major corporations.

By turning receivables and invoices into tokens, businesses are able to access financing from an international pool of investors quickly, using their actual-world receivables as collateral.

DeFi-powered solutions

Several blockchain tokenization use cases have already found some traction in tokenizing real-world financial assets like invoices:

• Centrifuge & Tinlake. Centrifuge is one of the leading protocols that enables businesses to tokenize assets (real estate deeds, invoices, royalties, etc.) into tokens that may be financed by investors. Through their Tinlake protocol, an invoice can be tokenized to an NFT representing its worth and then pooled in a way that lenders can lend DAI or USDC (stablecoins) against the assets. Centrifuge collaborated with MakerDAO (the leading DeFi lending protocol) to fund invoice portfolios. MakerDAO has printed stablecoins to fund loans against tokenized trade receivables, backing over $100M of liquidity to date under such arrangements. This model has proved that even invoice financing can be done in a decentralized way, with transparent risk and return. According to a 2025 report, platforms like Centrifuge are leading the tokenization of invoices and receivables, though the sector is still nascent and yet to reach scale mainstream.
• Goldfinch. DeFi project Goldfinch provides crypto loans to FinTech lenders based in developing markets. While not strictly tokenizing single invoices, they aggregate and tokenize lending pools (potentially of SME invoices or consumer lending) to which investors lend for yield, implicitly funding underlying economic activity. Goldfinch has facilitated tens of millions of dollars of business loans to firms in nations like Nigeria and Southeast Asia, tapping crypto liquidity.
• Trade finance NFTs. We are also seeing conventional trade finance instruments (e.g., bills of lading, export invoices, letters of credit) being experimented with in blockchain format. For example, the XDC Network (a blockchain for trade finance) has pilots in which a shipping invoice or purchase order is digitized into an NFT that is sellable or can be taken as collateral. This is putting the $5+ trillion market for trade finance (largely dominated by banks) into a tokenized digital space, with the potential to unleash enormous efficiencies.
• Enterprise implementations. Various banks and businesses have launched private blockchain platforms for supply chain finance, essentially tokenizing (or digitizing) invoices and factoring in a closed system. The Marco Polo Network (established on R3 Corda) and we.trade (an initiative by a consortium of European banks) are some examples, though not public blockchains. They represent the need to utilize distributed ledger technology for the financing of invoices. These may eventually communicate with public tokenization networks.

IdeaSoft’s team is well-versed in the technical aspects of financial tokenization. We’ve built smart contracts for NFTs and integrated off-chain data oracles to feed payment status. We also understand the requirement for privacy within these transactions. The specifics of a transaction, occasionally, need to be kept secret while the fact of the token transfer is disclosed. We can therefore use tools like zero-knowledge proofs or data permissioned access wherever appropriate in enterprise-grade invoice platforms.

Value unleashed

These examples of tokenization release value in various ways:

• Faster access to cash for businesses;
• Lower cost of capital;
• Investment opportunity with real yield;
• Transparency and trust in lending;
• Automated and scalable operations.

Issues still remain (like ensuring legal enforceability – when the borrower does not repay, token holders need to have access to the law, so tying the tokens to legal agreements is crucial). Nevertheless, innovative hybrid legal-engineering solutions (like using LLC structures or master agreements in conjunction with tokens) are addressing those.

Tokenization Use Case #5 — Luxury Goods & Collectibles

In this domain, NFTs are the primary vehicle. An NFT can represent a unique physical item, with the token’s metadata containing information about the item’s identity, history, and ownership.

What is being tokenized?

From pristine Rolex watches and rare sneakers to fine art masterpieces and vintage wines, the world of luxury collectibles is being enhanced by tokenization. These assets share some common traits: they’re often high in value, have limited supply or uniqueness, and appeal to enthusiasts and investors alike. However, traditionally, they suffer from a lack of liquidity (selling a $100,000 painting or a rare coin can take time, and finding the right buyer) and concerns over authenticity (the risk of forgeries is significant). Tokenization benefits offer solutions to both issues.

Some categories being actively tokenized include:

• Art;
• Luxury watches and fashion;
• Collectible assets;
  

Our NFT development services for real-world assets include ensuring the NFT metadata captures the item’s identity and verifies it (sometimes integrating with IoT tags or QR codes on the item). We also implement fractionalization when needed. For instance, we can create fungible tokens that represent shares in an NFT (wrapped NFTs) to allow a group of people to co-own a single item.

Notable examples

A few notable tokenization use cases illustrate the speed of tokenization of luxury:

• Fractional art investment. A major one was in 2021 when a group tokenized ownership in a painting by Banksy. They went so far as to destroy the actual piece after they created the NFT so that the NFT would be the sole representation – something that was controversial, but it did make international news. More conventionally, platforms like Masterworks (though not blockchain-based for trading) allow people to buy shares of paintings by Warhol or Monet. This concept is moving onto blockchain with platforms issuing security tokens or NFTs for art.
• Adidas “Into the Metaverse” NFTs. As noted, Adidas released an NFT series that granted purchasers special rights to physical goods and footwear. The $22M sale was a strong testimony of consumer demand for digital-physical convergence collectibles. Nike has also entered an NFT collection of its own (DotSwoosh) and acquired a startup (RTFKT) that deals in digital sneakers. These moves by big brands show that tokenization is even transforming how collectibles and limited editions are marketed and sold – increasing engagement and creating resale markets on-chain.
• Tokenized diamonds – Tiamonds. The Tiamonds project (developed on Cardano through NMKR) is a real use case for tokenizing luxury goods. They released NFTs that were proof of single gem-quality diamonds, which were stored in custody vaults. The owner of the NFT could trade the diamond token freely. At any point, an NFT owner could swap it for the actual diamond, and the NFT would be burned. This example demonstrated a total tokenized supply chain: a physical asset in custody, a digital token trading, and a redemption process. The model can be extended to any high-value collectible where custody is usable.
• Collectible іneakers and іtreetwear. Apart from Adidas, there are independent marketplaces like StockX that have experimented with NFT “Vault” tokens for sneakers. You buy an NFT that represents a pair of limited-release shoes belonging to them. You can resell the NFT or swap it for the shoes. Though there were legal nuances (Nike sued over it), it’s a harbinger that the secondary market for collectibles (sneakers, sports cards, etc.) can leverage the liquidity of tokens.

By the way, we have developed a security token issuance platform. Secu­ri­tize is full-stack tech­nol­o­gy solu­tion for issuers of dig­i­tal secu­ri­ties. The platform enables the com­pli­ant trad­ing of pri­vate secu­ri­ties on pub­lic blockchains and mul­ti­ple exchanges.

Business opportunity

Tokenization of collectibles and luxury items opens up new possibilities for companies and collectors:

• Access for new fans and investors;
• Price discovery and liquidity;
• Provenance and anti-fraud;
• New sources of income and community engagement;
• Interoperability with the Metaverse and virtual experiences.

Tokenization basically is regenerating collectible markets. It’s uniting collectors, investors, and brands in a different way and bringing valuable assets into more than just inactive possessions. The key is ensuring that the physical and digital are tightly linked and secure – something IdeaSoft is adept at, having worked with NFT smart contracts and integrations to IoT tagging for authenticity.

Bonus: Tokenized Treasuries & Bonds

Our final use case is a bonus because it’s a bridge between traditional finance and crypto that didn’t really get off the ground until 2024: tokenized government securities and bonds. When institutions start tokenizing Treasuries, you know the concept has hit prime time. In the past year, we’ve seen a rush to tokenize instruments like U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills) and corporate bonds onto blockchain rails.

Real-world momentum

This is not theory – over $1.5 billion of tokenized U.S. Treasuries and bonds were on blockchains by mid-2025. Much of this has been driven by fintech firms and asset managers:

• Franklin Templeton’s BENJI fund. Franklin Templeton, a prominent asset manager, developed a tokenized U.S. government money market fund (named BENJI) that operates on blockchain. It held about $360 million in tokenized T-bills on chains like Polygon and Stellar as of 2024. Effectively, investors can buy a token representing ownership in a fund of short-term Treasuries, earning the ~5% yield they provide, but with the convenience of a crypto token. This kind of fund can be made compatible with digital wallets and even DeFi platforms.
• BlackRock’s foray into tokenization. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, made headlines launching a tokenized bond fund (focused on Treasuries) on Ethereum. It raised $375 million in assets within a week of launch, one of the biggest on-chain RWA pools in a short time. This positioned BlackRock in holding nearly 30% of the on-chain treasury market, a positive sign of institutional confidence in tokenization.
• Ondo Finance and others. At the startup level, Ondo Finance created a product called USDY, which tokenizes short-term government bonds into a stablecoin-like token that accrues interest. Ondo’s fund managed over $218 million as of mid-2024 and had thousands of token holders earning yield. Other platforms like Matrixdock offered tokens (e.g. STBT) fully collateralized by Treasury bills, with over $100M of issuance each. Even Circle, the issuer of USDC stablecoin, started using tokenized Treasuries in their reserve to generate yield to support USDC – illustrating integration of tokenized bonds into broader crypto.
• Project Guardian and bank pilots. Outside of the U.S., Singapore’s Project Guardian (run by MAS with banks like JPMorgan, DBS) has already tested tokenized bonds and foreign exchange on public chains. European investment banks have conducted tokenized bond issuances (e.g., UBS, HSBC tested digital bonds). These pilots showed that core financial infrastructure can issue bonds as tokens, with real transactions settled on-chain under regulatory oversight.

These tokenization use cases are fascinating, aren’t they?

Benefits and significance

The fact that stodgy instruments like Treasuries are going on-chain is a strong validation of tokenization’s efficiency gains. Some benefits of tokenization include:

• 24/7 market and faster settlement;
• Composability (DeFi integration);
• Investor base expansion;
• Operational efficiency and transparency;
• Reduced friction in cross-border transactions.

IdeaSoft has been involved in projects around security token platforms and trading systems, so we’re ready to help firms that want to tokenize debt or equity. One key aspect is compliance – tokenized bonds in most jurisdictions must follow securities laws, meaning implementing whitelisting of eligible investors, transfer restrictions, and proper disclosures. We know standards like ERC-1400 for security tokens and have the development know-how to integrate identity/KYC solutions for on-chain regulatory compliance.

What These Use Cases Have in Common

We’ve surveyed a wide range of tokenization technology applications. While the assets differ, all these use cases share some underlying commonalities and requirements that anyone planning a tokenization project should note:

• Robust blockchain infrastructure;
• Smart contracts & programmability;
• Oracles and real-world data integration;
• Legal and regulatory frameworks;
• Tokenization data security and custody;
• User experience and marketplace;
• Need for experienced development teams.
  

As a development company deeply involved in Web3, IdeaSoft recognizes these common threads. We approach every tokenization project with a holistic mindset: solid architecture, legal compliance considerations from day one, great UX, and rigorous security. The result should be a platform where users might not even need to know they’re using blockchain under the hood. They just see new opportunities (invest in this building, trade that token, get that loan) that work seamlessly and safely.

Conclusion

As we’ve seen, tokenization use cases in 2025 range from real estate and commodities to carbon credits, invoices, luxury collectibles, and beyond – and in each case, the projects are live and transacting millions, if not billions, of dollars. To recap the key insights:

• Real-world asset tokenization is no longer just a concept;
• The benefits aren’t purely financial;
• Challenges like security and regulation are being actively addressed;
• First-mover advantage is real.

IdeaSoft’s team is ready to help design and develop a tokenization strategy and platform tailored to your goals.
