Ripple CTO Explains Tokenization: Benefits and Real Estate Applications

In a fast changing digital currency ecosystem, Ripple CTO David Schwartz has clarified the major advantages of tokenization. Many people are nonetheless ignorant of the concept’s actual ramifications, even as it becomes more popular.

Using Ripple Labs’ new X series, which breaks down blockchain ideas in 60 seconds, Schwartz used real estate to illustrate tokenization.

Tokenization, claims Schwartz, expedites this process and guarantees, via distributed ledger technologies, reliable asset transfer and ownership. Along with documenting real estate deals and payments, this method reduces fraud.
