Real World Asset Tokenization

What does it take to turn a real world asset into a legally meaningful, operationally sound digital investment?

Real World Asset Tokenization by Randy Goldberg is a practical guide to understanding how tokenization works, where it creates value, and what it takes to move from an idea to a functioning investment product.

Across 42 chapters, an introduction, and 13 appendices, this comprehensive guide walks readers through the assets, technology, legal structures, markets, and business decisions behind tokenization. With approximately 116,400 words, it offers an accessible foundation for newcomers and a detailed resource for asset owners, entrepreneurs, investors, financial professionals, and business leaders.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• The fundamentals: Understand tokens, blockchain, smart contracts, wallets, custody, and settlement in plain language.
• The assets: Discover how tokenization applies to real estate, private credit, investment funds, commodities, infrastructure, intellectual property, art, and more.
• The process: Follow the steps from evaluating an asset and structuring investor rights to issuance, distribution, ongoing operations, redemption, and wind-down.
• The legal framework: Examine ownership, enforceability, securities regulation, compliance obligations, and differences across global jurisdictions.
• The economics and risks: Evaluate costs, liquidity, governance, security, and the practical limits of tokenized markets.
• The future: Explore developments that could shape adoption and the next generation of financial infrastructure.

Practical examples, checklists, and decision frameworks help connect the concepts to real business situations, giving readers the questions they need to ask before building, buying, or advising on a tokenized investment.
