Avalanche Vista comes amid the tokenization trend within the blockchain community. Essentially, tokenization allows anyone to convert off-chain assets into an on-chain digital token.

Tokenization not only facilitates digital asset transactions such as buying and selling real estate, but also facilitates the democratization of asset allocation. Unlike traditional asset markets, buying and selling digital tokens allows multiple investors to pool funds in the purchase of a single asset. This allows smaller investors to enter a market that could otherwise be prohibitively expensive.

Beyond real estate and collectibles, the Avalanche Foundation envisions a wide variety of use cases for tokenization on its blockchain. According to the blog post, these include corporate equity, venture capital, debt instruments, intellectual property and portfolio diversification.

“Avalanche Vista will consider assets across the spectrum of liquidity, including equities, credit, real estate, commodities, as well as those native to the blockchain.”
