Digital Tokens: China is transforming trees and dams into digital assets, raising millions of dollars in funding with the help of technology..

With the help of technology, even the impossible is becoming possible these days, and in this respect, China has surpassed many developed countries. China has given a completely new dimension to investment by using blockchain technology. In China, companies are converting many valuable and rare items into digital assets so that profits can be made from them in the future. Let's learn how this new type of investment is flourishing in China with the help of technology.

China is converting valuable items into digital tokens.

Rare Huanghuali trees found on China's Hainan Island are now being photographed so that they can be converted into digital assets. This is a species of rosewood that was once favored by Chinese emperors. The problem is that these trees take decades to mature, forcing farmers to wait a long time for their money. Now, companies like Geely Technology Group are raising money from investors by converting these trees into real-world assets, i.e., digital tokens. In simple terms, instead of buying an entire tree, you can buy a digital share of a small part of it.

Tokens are also being issued for tea and liquor.

This technology is not limited to trees. Now, China's famous Pu'er tea and expensive Baijiu liquor are also being converted into digital tokens. Some startup companies in Shanghai are keeping digital records of special tea packages that become more valuable as they age. The biggest advantage of blockchain technology is that it will curb adulteration and the trade of counterfeit products. Investors can now invest in valuable tea or liquor with confidence, as their complete record will be digitally secured and verified.

How does the digital token system work?

This process of converting assets into digital assets is called tokenization. In this process, any real-world object, such as a building, a tree, a railway line, or even a power-generating dam, is divided into small digital parts, and tokens are issued. As the value of these assets increases over time, the token buyer benefits. This is similar to buying shares in the stock market and profiting when their value rises. In China's Sichuan province, plans are underway to raise millions of dollars through digital tokens for a disused dam. In the past year, the global market for such digital assets has grown by 115%, reaching approximately $35.7 billion.

A technological revolution, but not without challenges

Hong Kong is emerging as a major hub for this new technology because its regulations are more flexible than those in mainland China. However, the Beijing government has been quite strict regarding digital assets and cryptocurrencies. Chinese regulatory bodies have also issued warnings about such investments, cautioning that fraudsters could exploit them. Despite this, young investors are being drawn to this market because these tokens are based not on speculative assets, but on real, tangible assets.
