WHY IT MATTERS
Tokenization is the process of turning a real-world asset, like shares in a stock market fund, into a digital token on a blockchain. Think of it like converting a paper certificate into a digital version that can be tracked and transferred on a shared digital ledger. When a large, well-known investment firm like Janus Henderson does this, it signals that traditional finance companies see potential value in using blockchain technology for everyday financial products. For people new to crypto, this is an example of how blockchain technology is being used beyond just cryptocurrencies, extending into the world of stocks and investment funds.
