Tokenization
As more enterprises start exploring the possibilities of blockchain technology and ways to leverage it for their benefit, we note that tokenisation is one of the top use cases. Sophus provides support in 2 main areas of tokenisation
Tokenization of Precious Metals
either as a store of value or as a means of improving liquidity. Tokensation provides an opportunity for information symetry, portfolio diversification and price discovery
It also brings with it the added advantage oensuring safe and timely settlement through smart contracts and lower fees
Tokenization for Real Estate Assets
This is particularly relevant to a country like Nigeria. Investors can fractionalise ownership of a specific asset by leveraging blockchain-based tokens. tokenisation of real estate also bring the possibility of better accountability and transparency into the financial position of the underlying physical asset. Smart contracts again would act as issuance and transfer rules to ensure compliance
This segment has since gained significant speed since it was first applied in 2018 in the St. Regis Resort deal.
Sophus does not provide services for logistics cryptocurrency or Non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
