Launching on Starter.xyz on March 14, 2022

Introduction

New models are erupting daily around Blockchain technology. One of its biggest disruptors is asset tokenization, which is completely changing how we see the financial industry. There are currently trillions of dollars locked in assets which cannot be exploited, and to which there is little access. Markets such as real estate, IP, art, scarce and valuable resources are mainly owned by institutional investors, allowing little room for the retail investors to enter these markets. This means that retail investors are only left with the possibility of investing in debt or equity markets, where there’s high volatility and risk.

This is where asset tokenization comes into play. Through tokenization, AssetFi will open new markets to anyone in the world, allowing readily available capital to flow into illiquid markets, opening a world of opportunities. AssetFi is focused on tokenizing a wide range of assets and offering broader quality investments formerly reserved for institutional investors.

What is AssetFi?

AssetFi is a groundbreaking solution aimed at solving financial exclusion by providing a platform for converting physical assets, NFTs and companies to tokens for micro-ownership by small investors.

With the vision to “enable ownership for all” AssetFi aims to make ownership more transparent, accessible, inclusive, and efficient. It intends to cut out the middleman, throw out the barrier to entry, enable direct transferability of assets, and make insurance easier and more accessible.

Why is AssetFi unique?

There are countless other asset tokenization platforms, and even more will come, however, there is a gap most have failed to fill, which is what AssetFi is primed for. Unlike most others, AssetFi introduces a democratic process that strips off bureaucracy and bottlenecks for both asset owners and investors alike.

It addresses the illiquidity of physical assets and tackles the exclusion of small-scale investors from participating in lucrative asset markets like art, real-estate, early-stage companies, equity, and rare NFTs for the simple reason that these are beyond reach and typically reserved for the wealthy. Access barriers make most investment opportunities available exclusively to accredited investors, making the rich richer and leaving others with hardly any chances to break the glass ceiling. There are unnecessary barriers, including geographical and jurisdictional constraints that prevent an alliance of investors from forming.

AssetFi provides fractional ownership of assets by converting real-world assets to blockchain tokens. This will provide liquidity to illiquid assets, and in turn grant access to small investors to own chunks of large assets.

AssetFi provides a decentralized protocol where owners of select NFTs can mint fractional ownership of their NFTs. Given that fungible tokens are flexible and can be exchanged for another of its kind without intrinsic value loss, AssetFi provides a modular smart contract application layer that generates BEP20 tokens which is then linked to an ERC721 NFT. This way, anyone who holds any of the ERC20 tokens generated can own a percentage of the NFT.

$AFI

$AFI is the native token of the AssetFi platform. It allows investors in the AssetFi Platform to access instant liquidity in secondary markets.

Token Utility
