Basically, the Asset tokenisation is the process of converting ownership rights of a real-world asset (physical or financial) into digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens act as digital certificates of ownership that can be easily traded, transferred, and managed in a decentralised ecosystem.
Earlier, Chadha had also pledged to the government to introduce a dedicated Tokenisation Bill, recommending the division of assets such as real estate, infrastructure projects, and intellectual property into digital units, making them available to be purchased in smaller portions.
