TokAssets - Revolutionizing Investment of Real-World Assets Through Blockchain Tokenization

TokAssets introduces a groundbreaking platform for the tokenization and exchange of real-world assets using the ERC-3643 tokenization standard (based on and extending ERC-1400), with the option to use ERC-1400 for specific advanced use cases. By leveraging blockchain technology, TokAssets aims to empower access to real assets through low entry barriers, compliant and secure tokenization by simplifying and automating the tokenization and compliance processes, driving their wide adoption and enabling our investors to grow their wealth through our seamless and world-class platform.

What is Tokenization?

Tokenization is the process of converting a real or digital asset into a digital token on a blockchain. These tokens represent a share of the underlying asset and can be traded, transferred, or held similarly to traditional assets but with several advantages specific to blockchain technology.

Any type of asset can be tokenized, including shares of funds or companies, real estate, commodities like gold, diamonds, or watches, artworks, or intellectual property rights. A token is created on a blockchain to represent a specific share of the underlying asset. Tokenization allows an asset to be divided into fractions, enabling investors to buy a small part of an asset (e.g., a fraction of a building) rather than having to purchase the entire asset and avoiding the storage or management hassle.

The ownership and transactions related to the tokens are recorded on the blockchain, providing transparency, immutability, and security. In essence, tokenization transforms traditional and real-world assets into more accessible, liquid, and secure instruments through blockchain technology.

Abstract

TokAssets introduces a groundbreaking platform for the tokenization and exchange of real-world assets using the ERC-3643 tokenization standard (based on and extending ERC-1400), with the option to use ERC-1400 for specific advanced use cases.

The platform will begin with the tokenization of certified diamonds — a rare, high-value, and underutilized asset class — serving as the first proof of concept. This allows TokAssets to demonstrate compliance, transparency, and security via on-chain certification and secure Swiss storage.

TokAssets bridges premium real-world assets and modern DeFi infrastructure — making certified diamonds — and more — accessible to all, on-chain.

From this strategic starting point, TokAssets will expand to other real-world assets such as gold, private equity, fine art, and real estate. Tokenization opens access to previously unreachable investment opportunities, while simplifying ownership, increasing liquidity, and ensuring compliance.

The platform democratizes investment, allowing a wider audience to participate with a lower entry barrier. The ERC-3643 standard — building upon the flexibility of ERC-1400 — enhances liquidity, transparency, traceability, and provides greater flexibility.

With near-instant payment processing 24/7 and the ability to attract new investors directly or through white labelling, TokAssets is poised to revolutionize the investment and asset management landscape.

Executive Summary

TokAssets is a groundbreaking platform designed to revolutionize the investment of real-world assets through blockchain tokenization, leveraging the ERC-3643 tokenization standard — the modern implementation of ERC-1400 — compliance, security, and scalability. Our platform enables a seamless, transparent, and efficient way to tokenize and trade a variety of real-world assets, from diamonds to real-estate, thus democratizing investment opportunities for all types of investors.

Strategic Focus: TokAssets will initially focus on the tokenization of certified diamonds, a high-value, underutilized asset class that is ideal for blockchain-based investment. This targeted approach enables TokAssets to offer a rare and compact store of value, verifiable through on-chain certification and securely stored in Swiss vaults. The diamond market, often opaque and illiquid, represents a strong entry point to validate the platform and attract early adopters. Once the model proves successful, TokAssets will expand to other real-world assets such as gold, private equity, fine art, and real estate.

This initial focus also reduces execution risks and allows us to onboard strategic partners and investors aligned with our vision of premium, secure, and transparent digital asset markets.

Token holders will also have the option to redeem their tokenized assets — for example, claiming the underlying certified diamond physically — by burning the corresponding tokens. This optional redemption process is secured by identity verification and vault logistics in Switzerland, offering investors both flexibility and peace of mind.

Market Potential: The market for asset tokenization is projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030 (BCG statement), with up to $2.5 trillion addressable in investment funds alone.

Competitive Advantages:

  • Compliance and Security: The ERC-3643 tokenization standard (based on ERC-1400) ensures full compliance with EU regulations and robust security features, including multi-signature wallets, identity management, and regular audits.
  • Liquidity and Accessibility: Fractional ownership allows smaller investors to participate in traditionally inaccessible asset classes.
  • Speed and Efficiency: Near-instant payment processing and automated compliance reduce costs and administrative burdens.

White-Label Offering: TokAssets will also be offered as a white-label solution to banks, asset managers, and financial institutions looking to tokenize their own asset portfolios. This enables institutions to leverage our secure and compliant infrastructure while maintaining their brand identity, accelerating their entry into the world of tokenized finance.

In addition to tokenizing and distributing their own assets, white-label clients can also opt to offer TokAssets’ certified and tokenized assets — such as diamonds or gold — to their own clients, expanding their investment offerings instantly with trusted, compliant products.

Fundraising Goal: Seeking to raise money from investors in the pre-sale phase to fund extensive platform development (including set up of technical stack capable of sustaining millions of orders per second, UI/UX, multilingual and on multi-device coverage on IOS, Android, Windows, Mac...), marketing initiatives, strategic partnerships, and to meet legal and regulatory requirements.

By bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized finance, TokAssets combines institutional-grade compliance with blockchain efficiency, making tokenization a mainstream financial instrument.

Introduction

In recent years, the financial industry has recognized the transformative potential of blockchain technology. At TokAssets, we believe that the tokenization of assets—transforming real-world assets into digital tokens—can revolutionize the asset management sector and broadly impact investments for all. This process can make financial markets more efficient by simplifying the value chain and lowering costs for investors.

TokAssets democratizes investments by lowering entry barriers, fractionating assets, increasing liquidity, and providing greater transparency and traceability. Our mission is to leverage blockchain to redefine existing financial and investment ecosystems, making them more accessible, transparent, and efficient while attracting new generation of investors with innovative types of investments, near-instant payments, and increased flexibility.

Market Overview and Needs

The market for asset tokenization is expected to grow exponentially by 2030, with a projected potential of up to $16 trillion across various asset classes (according to BCG).

First step: Diamond Market Opportunity The global diamond market is valued at over $90 billion, with a significant portion being illiquid and underutilized for investment purposes. TokAssets targets a tokenizable share of this market, estimated between $10B to $20B, by offering fractional access, on-chain certification, and Swiss-grade custody — positioning diamonds as a new class of digital store-of-value assets.

After diamonds, we intent to address other kind of assets, for instance the addressable market for investment funds could reach $2.5 trillion, with bond funds accounting for $250-375 billion annually.

TokAssets addresses the growing need among investors to access the same kinds of investments as insiders and allows asset management companies or funds to reduce internal costs and explore new distribution channels while overcoming challenges related to technical transitions, legal complexities, and identifying commercial opportunities.

Challenges in the Market

Despite the recognized benefits of tokenization, many asset management companies or funds hesitate to adopt it due to several barriers:

  • Technical Transition: Integrating blockchain into existing systems can be complex and costly.
  • Legal Framework: Navigating the regulatory environment for tokenized assets remains a challenge.
  • Low Familiarity with DeFi: There is limited understanding of what tokenization is and how tokenization interacts with decentralized finance (DeFi) systems.
