Tokenization: Reshaping Asset Ownership for the Next Decade
Tokenization is not merely a technological upgrade to existing markets — it is a structural change in which markets are economically viable to create.

This paper outlines the economic case, the asset classes where the thesis is most advanced, the conditions for institutional adoption, and the framework Defiant International uses to evaluate tokenized exposure.
