Tokenization is moving from theory to practice in 2025, with real estate, gold, and even company shares entering the blockchain era.
Blockchain technology has long promised to change how we think about ownership, but for years tokenization was more of a concept than a reality. In 2025, that’s finally starting to change. Around the world, industries from real estate to gold and even company shares are testing tokenized products that bring new liquidity and access to traditional markets.
China’s Seazen Group recently revealed plans to tokenize parts of its real estate portfolio through the Seazen Digital Assets Institute in Hong Kong. This initiative is expected to provide investors with new ways to access and trade property-backed assets in a market struggling liquidity. Meanwhile, U.S.-based Galaxy Digital has gone a step further by tokenizing its own shares. Through the Superstate platform, investors can now hold blockchain-based versions of Galaxy stock, opening the door to 24/7 trading and instant settlement.
Even the precious metals industry is experimenting. The World Gold Council is working with London’s bullion market on a digital gold product called pooled gold interests (PGIs), which would allow investors to buy fractions of physical gold through blockchain. Despite the progress, regulatory challenges remain. European regulators have warned that tokenized stocks could create confusion about investor rights, and liquidity issues are still a risk for private company tokenizations. Still, the momentum in 2025 is undeniable.
Tokenization is no longer just a buzzword. It’s becoming a reality across multiple sectors, from real estate to gold. While the road ahead will require regulatory clarity and investor education, the shift happening in 2025 suggests this is only the beginning of a larger transformation.
