What is asset tokenization and why are BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton moving fast on it?

We are breaking down how tokenization works, what gets tokenized, and what it means for everyday investors in our blog post.

Asset tokenization converts ownership rights to a real-world asset into a digital token on a blockchain. Think of it like a title deed, but digital, divisible, and transferable in minutes without a notary, broker, or clearing house. The asset does not change. What changes is how ownership is recorded and moved.

Tokenized gold is the clearest working example available to individuals today. PAXG and XAUT are each backed 1:1 by a physical ounce of gold in a professional vault. You can hold a fraction, trade 24/7, and transfer globally without a broker. Both are available on Nexo, where you can also earn daily interest on your holdings.

In the full article, we also cover what categories are being tokenized today, how fractional ownership works in practice, and what tokenization does not fix, including legal enforceability and the risks of the underlying asset.

Full breakdown in the blog post.

What is asset tokenization? How real-world assets are moving on-chain Asset tokenization turns real-world things like real estate, stocks, and bonds into digital tokens on a blockchain. Here's what it means, how it works, and who it's for.

Crypto vs. stocks: how to think about both as investments.

The crypto vs. stocks debate usually gets framed as a competition, as if picking one means abandoning the other. In our blog post, we break down the real differences between the two, how their return profiles compare, and how to think about holding both.

https://nexo.com/blog/crypto-vs-stocks?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=facebook_post_dwa_crypto_vs_stocks_1606_q226

Stocks are fractional ownership of a company. Their value is tied to revenues, earnings, and growth expectations. Crypto is a different type of asset entirely. Bitcoin's value is driven by scarcity and adoption. Ethereum's by network demand. The things that move crypto prices and the things that move stock prices are often different, which is both a source of risk and an argument for holding both.

One dimension most comparisons miss: crypto can earn a return while you hold it, beyond price appreciation alone. On Nexo, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other assets earn daily interest through Flexible Savings with no lock-up, or a higher fixed rate through Fixed-term Savings.

In the full article, we also cover how the volatility and drawdown profiles compare, what the historical return data actually shows, and how investors typically size a crypto allocation within a broader portfolio.

Bitcoin's realized price, the average cost basis of every holder on the network, sits at $54,000. Most holders are still in profit.

In every prior bear market, price fell to or below this level. Every single time, it recovered.

This cycle? It hasn't touched it once.

That's not a guarantee of anything, but historically, it's exactly the kind of floor that long-term cycles are built on.
