Tokenization in blockchain involves converting digital values like assets, currencies, and identities into digital tokens that can be securely exchanged on distributed ledgers. Various types of assets can be tokenized, including real estate, art, and company stocks. While tokenization provides liquidity and accessibility of assets, issues around centralization and legal ownership remain challenges. Blockchain trends indicate the technology will become more scalable and support private transactions by 2023. Data protection techniques like differential privacy, tokenization, and homomorphic encryption can help secure sensitive data when used with blockchain and multi-cloud environments.
