fractionalized assets

Fractionalized assets refer to stocks, bonds, and other securities representing equity in a company or the debt obligations to a company but which are broken up into smaller fractions. When an asset is fractionalized (broken up into smaller portions) it allows smaller investors to own the asset in smaller bits rather than whole shares. As such, fractionalized assets drive liquidity in markets because erstwhile expensive assets are now cheap. Assets may be fractionalized directly or through tokens (representations of the actual asset)
