Russia introduces three real asset tokenization regimes

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation is developing a plan to digitize rights to real assets. The potential volume of investments in this area could reach several trillion rubles.

Key areas for tokenization include

• Movable property.** Digitizing rights to movable property under a special legal regime.
• Company shares.* Tokenization of corporate rights, including stakes in limited liability companies.
• Exchange goods.* Issuing tokens for specific commodities traded on commodity exchanges.

Russian legislation allows for the issuance of digital financial assets on public blockchains. This decision can expand their circulation capabilities and make such assets more accessible to a broad range of investors.
