The Tokenization of Time not only allows individuals to monetize their time but also introduces the concept of time-backed securities. These securities aggregate multiple time-backed tokens into a legally recognized security token, offering investors a diversified portfolio of human capital. This chapter explores how these time-backed securities work, their benefits, and the opportunities they present for global investors.
Time-Backed Securities Explained
Time-backed securities are digital assets that represent a basket of time-backed tokens issued by various professionals. These tokens are aggregated and structured into a single security token, which can be traded on regulated exchanges. The security token represents a diversified investment in human capital across different sectors and geographies.
By investing in time-backed securities, investors gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of professional services, reducing risk while still tapping into the potential for growth in human capital.
Aggregation: Individual time-backed tokens from various professionals—such as lawyers, consultants, doctors, and educators—are pooled together to create a diversified fund.
Security Token Issuance: This basket of tokens is then tokenized into a legally recognized security, which can be bought, sold, and traded by investors.
Legal Compliance: The security token is structured to comply with relevant securities regulations, providing a regulated and secure investment vehicle.
