What Specific Type of Financial Derivative Benefits Most from Blockchain-Based Tokenization?
Illiquid or bespoke Over-The-Counter (OTC) derivatives, such as complex interest rate swaps or credit default swaps, benefit most. Tokenization converts the contractual rights and obligations of the derivative into a digital asset on the blockchain.
This process standardizes the derivative, making it divisible, easier to transfer, and thus more liquid. The token represents the ownership and can be managed by smart contracts, automating payments and collateral.
