What is a Tokenized Asset Offering (TAO)?
What is one of the biggest issue that makes people afraid to invest in crypto coins? If you said the lack of tangible assets, you’re probably right.
Although cryptocurrency has been around for some time now, people still are not 100% convinced about it, and the main reason is that digital coins are not accepted in most stores or have any real-world value. And people don’t want to be stuck with money that they can’t use.
But this problem is soon to be over with Tokenized Assets Offering, the issuance of digital securities that are in compliance with US securities laws and regulations. TAO is paving the way for financial markets to move into blockchain network.
From painting to real-estate, pretty much anything can be tokenized, so companies can take their assets, tokenize it, and sell the coins that are backed by assets to investors. This opens a world of possibilities for enterprises, that now can present their business for a bigger crowd.
Different from ICOs, that has a loophole for fraud to happen, TAO is a more transparent process that can give not only more confidence to investors but also liquidity, making digital coins more attractive. Some benefits of a TAO:
The inclusion of Institutional Investors & Fund Managers
Liquidity of the Illiquid Assets
Transparent, Efficient & Scalable
Reduction in Illiquidity Discounts/ Liquidity Premiums and Reduction of Spread Charges
TAO is just one more step forward that the blockchain technology is taking and making us rethink the way we run transactions and business.
