Asset Tokenisation 

Tokenisation

The future of finance is on‑chain. Asset tokenisation is accelerating globally, with more than 50 countries testing Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) infrastructures. By 2030, tokenised assets under management are expected to reach USD 715 billion, with potential operational cost reductions of 30–50%. PwC helps organisations transform traditional assets into secure, scalable, and MiCA‑aligned digital products. Contact us to assess the tokenisation potential of your assets.

Tokenisation: how DLT is reshaping financial markets

Tokenisation converts traditional assets into digital representations, making them more efficient, transparent and easier to trade. Each token represents a fraction or the entirety of ownership or economic rights in an underlying asset, securely recorded on a DLT.

How tokenisation is transforming securities and real estate

Asset tokenisation converts rights over real‑world assets into digital tokens without altering the nature of the underlying asset. What changes is how the asset is recorded, traded and/or settled, delivering greater security, transparency and efficiency.
