How Is the Value of a Tokenized Physical Asset Maintained?

The value is maintained by a legal framework that guarantees the token holder's ownership claim over the underlying physical asset, which is typically held by a custodian. Audits and transparent reporting ensure the asset exists and is not double-pledged.

The token's value is directly derived from the market value of the physical asset it represents, minus any management fees.
