All physical assets, whether tangible assets like real estate, commodities, collectibles, etc., or intangible assets like bonds, stocks, carbon credits, etc., can be digitized and tokenized through IEX's RWA technology, ultimately achieving free circulation of assets on-chain. This is mainly done through:
Off-chain asset certification, valuation, and legal support.
On-chain tokenization, monitoring off-chain asset value changes through oracles.
Promoting the on-chain liquidity of RWA assets and revenue settlement through DeFi protocols.
The benefits of digitizing ownership through IEX are evident. Firstly, it empowers asset owners. NFTs provide a new way to prove ownership and authenticity of digital assets. This makes selling and transferring unique items easier while preventing fraudulent activities. It provides new revenue streams for asset owners (especially physical asset owners).
Secondly, it proves authenticity. NFTs can authenticate digital assets, which can be particularly useful for unique or rare items. By using blockchain technology to verify ownership and authenticity, NFTs can provide clear records of item history and provenance.
Thirdly, it promotes investment transactions and circulation of assets. NFTs can provide new investment opportunities for collectors, as digital assets can increase in value based on popularity and rarity. By investing in NFTs, collectors can profit from asset appreciation over time.
Fourthly, it provides immersive experiences. NFTs can provide immersive interactive experiences by linking digital assets to real-world events. For example, concert ticket NFTs can provide access to live concert streams and special behind-the-scenes content and other interactive experiences. This can provide fans with new levels of engagement and create new revenue streams for artists and event organizers.
IEX innovatively developed NFT-based equity technology and creatively launched Equity NFTs. Digitizing equity means digitizing ownership of assets. Equity essentially represents ownership shares in a company, while an NFT is a blockchain-based digital asset, each of which has a unique identifier, making it non-fungible and unique.
In the model of Equity NFTs, companies can tokenize their equity into digital form and represent it as a unique NFT. In this way, users can hold Equity NFTs without the need for traditional stock certificates or other paper-based proofs.
IEX Equity NFT digitizes traditional equities using blockchain technology, increasing the liquidity and operability of equities.
Each IEX Equity NFT is unique, ensuring the uniqueness of shareholders' identities and ownership.
Transactions of IEX Equity NFTs can be conducted through public chains, eliminating intermediaries and cumbersome traditional trading procedures, thereby improving transaction efficiency.
The proprietary blockchain technology ensures the transparency of transactions, allowing shareholders to track the transfer of equities and changes in ownership in real time. Additionally, due to the immutability of blockchain, the security of Equity NFTs is ensured.
Through digitized and automated transaction processes, IEX Equity NFTs are expected to reduce transaction costs, enabling more investors to participate in the equity market. IEX's equity NFTs serve three major purposes, offering advantages in liquidity, investment, and management that traditional equity lacks, potentially altering the future landscape of equity investment.
Enhanced Liquidity: IEX's equity NFTs enable equities to be traded more conveniently on digital platforms. Unlike traditional equity trading, which may involve cumbersome procedures and time delays, the introduction of NFT technology accelerates the entire process, improving equity liquidity. Additionally, implementing auction mechanisms and trading functionalities allows users to buy, sell, and bid on IEX NFTs. Different trading models such as auctions, fixed-price orders, and peer-to-peer transactions are enabled.
Increased Global Investment Opportunities: With IEX users located worldwide, IEX's equity NFTs provide a broader range of participation opportunities for global investors. Due to their digital and decentralized nature, investors can more easily engage in equity investments across borders, thereby driving the development of global financial markets.
Flexible Decentralized Management: The implementation of IEX's equity NFTs contributes to decentralized governance. Through smart contracts, shareholders can more directly participate in company governance, voting, and proposing initiatives, making corporate decision-making more open and democratic.
