How It Works

The Tokenized Asset Custody Chain

Every tokenized asset has a custody chain from the physical asset to the on-chain token. Understanding each link is essential to verifying what you actually own.

01

Physical Asset

US Treasury bonds, gold bars, real estate, or other assets held by a regulated custodian.

02

Custodian / Trust

A qualified custodian (BNY Mellon, DTCC, London vaults) holds the physical asset with legal segregation.

03

Tokenization Platform

Securitize, Paxos, or the issuer creates an on-chain representation backed 1:1 by the custodied asset.

04

On-Chain Token

The token you hold — with proof of reserves, attestations, or smart contract verification connecting back to the physical asset.
