asset tokenization
Power asset tokenization at scale
Tokenization is the process of converting rights to an asset into a digital token on a blockchain. Hedera makes it easy to tokenize real-world and digital assets, making them liquid, fractional, and transparent. Built for scale, it offers predictable fees, EVM compatibility, and performance you can trust.

Tokenization is reshaping global markets
Increased liquidity
Tokenization allows fractional ownership of assets such as real estate, bonds, equities, derivatives, and commodities— making it easier for more investors to participate, which boosts market liquidity.
Global accessibility
Because tokens exist on decentralized networks like Hedera, investors from anywhere in the world can buy and sell them– bypassing traditional geographic and financial barriers.
24/7 markets
Unlike traditional markets limited by trading hours, tokenized assets can be traded around the clock, improving flexibility and market responsiveness.
Transparency, security, and programmability
Tokenized assets are recorded on a ledger, ensuring immutability, auditability, and the ability to include programmable logic–reducing fraud risk and enhancing trust between participants.
Why Hedera for tokenization?
Built for regulated markets and real-world assets
Hedera’s combination of performance, governance, and compliance is a strong fit for regulated industries such as banking, finance, supply chain, energy, healthcare, and government. It’s ideal for regulated markets where tokenized assets, including equities, bonds, real estate, and derivatives, require high volume, fast settlement, and real-time reconciliation.
Proven scalability
With finality in 2.9 seconds and tens of billions of transactions processed to date, Hedera delivers the speed and reliability needed for high-scale applications.
Institutional compliance
Hedera is governed by leading global enterprises, many of which run a network node. This model brings credibility and oversight to the network, alongside built-in token compliance features.

Tokenization needs a trusted foundation
As tokenization expands across asset classes, it needs secure and scalable infrastructure that institutions can trust for real-world use. Hedera delivers that trust layer, enabling transparent, auditable tokenization at scale.
predictable development
Predictable costs at every step
A typical token mint and transfer on Hedera costs just $.0008 USD. Stable fees are essential for institutional-grade systems and enable accurate total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling for business planning and product integration. On Hedera, there is no gas market volatility—costs stay low and consistent.
trustworthy transactions
Fairness built into the network
On Hedera, no single node or group can manipulate transaction order. Unlike other blockchains where validators may reorder transactions for profit, Hedera uses consensus timestamps agreed upon by the majority of the network. This ensures transaction ordering is tamper-resistant and front-running is virtually impossible.
optionality
Choose the best path for your token
Hedera gives you the flexibility to tokenize assets natively or use EVM-compatible smart contracts. Native tokenization is ideal for high-speed, low-cost transfers. When you need programmable logic or DeFi access, smart contracts offer full compatibility with Ethereum tools and standards.

Since we started Archax back in 2018, we predicted that all assets would ultimately come ‘on chain’ and we are really seeing that prediction becoming a reality now. Allowing traditional equity and debt instruments to be represented in token form is a logical and key next step in this process.

At ioBuilders, we are working on the next generation of financial markets, such as OpenBrick, based on the tokenization of financial instruments on the Hedera blockchain and their application to alternative markets — traditionally illiquid and difficult to access, as in the real estate sector — with the goal of making them more attractive for all parties.
