Jurisdiction of the Underlying Asset
In this step, you will identify the legal or physical location of the asset you plan to tokenize. The jurisdiction of the underlying asset determines which laws apply to ownership, taxation, transfer rights, and regulatory compliance.
This decision is fundamental to building a legally sound and enforceable tokenization structure.
Why This Matters
Influences how ownership rights are defined and legally enforced.
Determines which legal documents and structures must be created.
Impacts tax obligations, transfer restrictions, and foreign investment rules.
Affects whether the token offering must be registered or limited in scope.
The asset location will be encoded into the token’s smart contract for legal clarity and cross-border compliance.

Note: Properly identifying asset location ensures regulatory alignment and supports investor trust. In most cases, tokens that do not reflect the legal environment of the underlying asset may be considered non-compliant or legally unenforceable.
