Luring retail investors to tokenisation

TOKENISATION, a method of representing assets as digital tokens on a distributed ledger technology such as blockchain, may be one way to increase retail participation in the bond/sukuk market.

This is because investors may then be able to buy fractional amounts of financial assets or securities at a lower cost, in order to achieve the higher participation rates sought by the Securities Commission (SC). Perhaps the SC can take a closer look at some basic issues before we get to tokenisation.
