Why regulatory precision matters
in tokenisation.
Tokenisation is not merely a technical transformation of assets; it is a legal reconfiguration. For issuers, the choice of jurisdiction affects liquidity, tax treatment, and investor confidence. FRACTIONED provides the modular infrastructure to map these legal requirements directly into smart contract code—a concept we call Programmable Compliance.
