Arts & Collectibles

Tokenization

Tokenization of works of art and collectibles is the process of dividing the ownership of a work of art or collectible into multiple shares or “tokens”.

In few steps

Evaluation of the work or object

The first step in tokenization is the valuation of the artwork or collectible. An art or collectible expert evaluates the value of the object, which will be used as the basis for creating the tokens.

The division into tokens

Once the artwork or object is appraised, a set number of tokens are created on a blockchain. Each token represents a fraction of the total value of the work or object.

Marketing the tokens

The tokens are then sold to investors. Each investor who buys a token then becomes a co-owner of the artwork or collectible.

Legal management

Finally, token holders have rights commensurate with their ownership. For example, they may be entitled to a share of the profits if the artwork or object is sold at a higher price in the future.

Examples

Paintings

A painting by a renowned artist could be tokenized, allowing multiple investors to share ownership of the work.

Sculptures

A valuable sculpture could also be tokenized, giving more people the opportunity to own a piece of important art.

Rare Comics

A rare and valuable comic book could be tokenized, allowing fans and collectors to share ownership of the item.

Collectible Cards

A rare collectible card, such as a baseball card or Pokémon card, could be tokenized, allowing multiple people to share ownership of the item.

Collectible cars

A rare collectible car could be tokenized, allowing multiple investors to share ownership of the item and potentially share in the profits if the car increases in value in the future.

Main advantages

Increased Liquidity

Tokenization facilitates quick transactions and opens the market to more investors, thereby increasing liquidity.

Fractionalization

Tokenization makes arts & collectibles investing more accessible by allowing the purchase of small fractions of an asset.

Transparency and Security

Thanks to the blockchain, tokenization offers greater transparency of transactions and enhanced security.
