What Is Fractional Ownership and How Does Blockchain Enable It?

Fractional ownership is the division of a single asset into smaller, affordable shares. While the concept isn't new, blockchain technology and tokenization make it far more efficient and accessible.

By representing an asset like real estate or fine art as a series of digital tokens, ownership can be easily divided and distributed among many investors. The blockchain provides a transparent and immutable ledger of who owns each fraction, and smart contracts can automate the management of the asset and the distribution of any income it generates.
