HYFI Blockchain

1. What is HYFI Blockchain?

Hybrid Finance Blockchain (HYFI) is a Legally-compliant Permissioned Layer-1 Blockchain.

HYFI is a Wyoming, US based project and is part of the Government of India Sandbox at GIFT City. HYFI is also incorporated in the Dubai International Financial Centre.

HYFI has 1 use case only. And that is to tokenize the the multi-trillion dollar illiquid assets sector.

According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the total size of illiquid asset tokenization globally will be $16 trillion by 2030.

5. What is Tokenization?

Tokenization converts the economic rights of an asset into blockchain tokens. Each token represents a fraction of ownership in the underlying asset.

Tokenization
= Authentication
+ Provenance
+ Fractionalization
+ Trading

Each token represents a fraction of ownership in the underlying asset, enabling investors to buy, sell, or trade these tokens on digital asset marketplaces.

Tokenization bridges the gap between traditional finance and the digital world, leveraging the benefits of blockchain technology.

Effectively, Tokenization brings the asset to the Crypto world where it can be fractionalized and traded 24x7 by a global audience.
