Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Digitally representing anything has recently acquired a lot of traction. It can be effective in conventional industries like real estate, artwork etc. Following are some similarities between Tokenization and Securitization: (i) Liquidity: First and foremost both Securitization and Tokenization inject liquidity in the market for the assets which are otherwise illiquid assets.
