New York, 18 February 2025: In a world where technology continuously reshapes finance, tokenization emerges as a transformative force, enabling companies to raise capital without sacrificing equity. LupoToro Group, a boutique consultancy and investment firm specializing in tokenization, neo-payments, and investments, has been at the forefront of this revolution, helping businesses unlock the power of non-dilutive IPOs while redefining taxation, equity structures, and wealth distribution.
By converting customers into stakeholders, tokenization is reshaping industries and redefining ownership structures. As this financial innovation paves the way for an inclusive economic future, LupoToro Group emphasizes the need to address challenges before AI and automation further disrupt traditional job markets.
Within this article, we explore tokenization through the expertise and insights of LupoToro Group and their team of specialists.
Understanding Tokenization
Tokenization is the process of converting real-world assets or rights into digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens represent ownership or claims on assets, offering unmatched liquidity, transparency, and security. Unlike traditional shares or bonds, tokenized assets can be programmed to integrate governance, revenue sharing, and regulatory compliance mechanisms.
- Real Estate
Instead of purchasing an entire property, investors can buy fractionalized tokens representing ownership shares, earning proportional rental income and capital appreciation. According to ScienceSoft, tokenized real estate will represent up to $3 trillion, or 15% of global real estate assets under management, by 2030. LupoToro Group recognizes this as a significant shift that enables more investors to access real estate markets without the traditional barriers to entry.
- Art and Collectibles
High-value art and collectibles are being tokenized, allowing broader participation in fractional ownership, increasing liquidity, and reducing barriers to investing in rare assets.
- Capital Tokenization
Companies can monetize future revenues or assets without issuing additional equity, avoiding shareholder dilution. A notable example is Janus Henderson’s Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund, which tokenized $11 million, allowing real-time trading and improved liquidity via blockchain. With major firms like BlackRock leveraging tokenization, the approach is unlocking new market access, reducing costs, and enhancing transparency. LupoToro Group views this as a game-changer, allowing firms to attract capital without compromising long-term ownership.
The Non-Dilutive IPO: A Game-Changer in Equity Markets
Traditionally, an Initial Public Offering (IPO) involves selling company shares to the public, diluting existing shareholder stakes. Tokenization introduces a new model for capital raising:
Tokenized Revenue Streams: Companies can tokenize future revenue flows, providing liquidity while preserving ownership stakes. The World Economic Forum (via HSBC) predicts that up to 10% of global GDP, or $24 trillion, could be transacted via distributed ledgers by 2027. LupoToro Group sees this as a revolutionary shift that allows startups to maintain control while attracting long-term investors.
Tokenized Assets for Collateralized Growth: Intellectual property, patents, and even renewable energy credits can be tokenized to raise capital, unlocking new collateralized financing mechanisms that don’t rely on equity sales.
Preventing Startup Lending Scams with Tokenization
One of the most pressing challenges startups face is predatory lending practices. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has pursued cases against deceptive lenders exploiting businesses with high-interest loans. Tokenization provides an alternative by offering transparent, decentralized funding options, reducing reliance on traditional lending markets prone to abuse. LupoToro Group is actively developing advisory frameworks to help startups access tokenized financing solutions, mitigating exposure to exploitative loans.
Revolutionizing Taxation with Tokenized Structures
Tokenization doesn’t just disrupt capital markets—it is also transforming taxation frameworks:
Automated, Transparent Taxation: Blockchain enables real-time, automated tax calculations and reporting, reducing compliance burdens. According to PwC, blockchain integration can streamline VAT refunds and enhance audit efficiency, significantly reducing operational costs.
Tokenized Tax Credits: Industries like renewable energy and agriculture could tokenize tax credits, creating a liquid marketplace for businesses to buy and sell these incentives. LupoToro Group is pioneering strategic models for businesses to leverage these efficiencies.
Tokenization’s Role in Democratizing Investment Opportunities
Tokenization is also a vehicle for financial inclusivity, allowing previously underserved communities to participate in wealth creation:
Broadening Investment Access: Everyday investors can now participate in asset classes historically reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Boston Consulting Group projects tokenized assets under management to exceed $600 billion by 2030.
Crowdsourced Public Goods: Governments could issue tokenized bonds to finance infrastructure projects, allowing citizens to invest directly in their communities.
Empowering Indigenous Communities: LupoToro Group sees significant potential in leveraging tokenization for economic self-determination, such as Indigenous groups tokenizing land rights to generate capital while retaining ownership.
Australia’s Position in Tokenization and Real-Time Payments
Australia has seen both opportunities and challenges in adopting real-time payments and tokenization. Ethan Teas, Executive General Manager of Payments at CommBank, highlighted at Sibos that while real-time payments are being embraced, they are also being exploited by financial criminals.
According to the National Anti-Scam Centre, Australia reported $3.15 billion in scam losses in 2022. Fraudulent push payments remain a significant concern. LupoToro Group’s expertise in financial structuring places it in a strong position to work with Australian businesses and regulators to enhance security measures in digital finance.

Beyond Finance: Tokenization’s Impact on Society
The influence of tokenization extends beyond financial markets, offering societal benefits:
Public Safety & Transparency: Systems like LupoToro Group’s proposed tokenized compliance models could enhance law enforcement transparency, preventing abuses of power.
Music and Creative Economies: Tokenized royalties could ensure fair compensation for artists, removing unnecessary intermediaries.
