Three eras of securities ownership

Custody changed twice. This is the third time.

Each era moved the record closer to the transfer. Tokenization is the first that lets the issuer's rules travel with the asset.

Three eras of securities ownership: a bank vault holding paper certificates, a central depository database holding book-entry records, and a tokenized transfer where a cryptographic signature passes through issuer transfer rules before the register updates
01
Paper certificates

Ownership was a physical document locked in the bank's vault. Losing the paper made proving ownership slow and costly.

02
Electronic book-entry

Certificates were immobilized. Ownership became a line item in a central depository's database. Faster, but reconciliation and settlement still run through intermediaries.

03
Tokenized securities

Ownership moves by cryptographic key, not as a bearer asset. Issuer transfer restrictions and the register stay enforced on-chain, so compliance holds while settlement gets faster.
