I read that page but don’t understand how that is any different/better than the current situation. How is it better?

Specifically, the money going to one set of middlemen would be going to their middlemen instead.

"How tokenisation could benefit investors The benefits of tokenisation extend to large investors as well, providing increased liquidity and the potential for additional value through asset fractionalisation.

In this way, we can take a US$100 million private equity asset, tokenise it, and turn it into 100 million US$1 tokens. These tokens can then be listed on a regulated digital securities exchange to trade on a secondary market. By doing this, the minimum investment is now affordable to the smallest investor, while the secondary market creates liquidity."

That link is 404 for me.

This doesn’t seem any different, at least not spiritually, from fractional ownership. What do NFTs do in this regard that we can’t already do?
