2. Tokenization of real world assets offers 24×7 access, promoting financial inclusion.

- A. 1, 2 and 3 (Correct answer)
- B. 2 and 3 only
- C. 1 and 2 only
- D. 1 and 3 only
Correct Answer
Option A — A
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A.
Key Points
- statements 1, 2 and 3 are all correct.
- Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation issues blockchain-based digital tokens that represent ownership or a share in a physical or financial asset (real estate, bonds, gold, art).
- Statement 1 is correct: it is precisely the process of converting real-world assets into digital tokens on a blockchain.
- Statement 2 is correct: tokenised assets can be traded 24×7 on digital platforms and in fractional units, lowering the ticket size and promoting financial inclusion.
- Statement 3 is correct: fractionalisation opens access to high-value, high-growth assets (like commercial property or infrastructure) that individual investors could not otherwise afford whole.
- benefits include liquidity for traditionally illiquid assets, fractional ownership and transparent on-chain records; risks include regulatory and valuation uncertainty.
Exam Tip
- the recurring themes examiners test for tokenisation are fractional ownership, 24×7 liquidity and financial inclusion — all three appear here.
