Indian Member of Parliament Raghav Chadha has proposed an Asset Tokenization Bill in Parliament, aiming to expand investment opportunities for India’s middle class through blockchain technology.
Chadha said the initiative could make investing in high-value assets as inclusive as digital payments became after the rise of UPI.
Addressing lawmakers, he pointed out that middle-class investors today have limited options beyond bank deposits, mutual funds, and fixed-income instruments.
High-value assets such as commercial real estate, infrastructure projects, and private investments remain largely out of reach for ordinary households saving for education, marriage, or retirement.
Chadha described asset tokenization as a financial innovation that converts large real-world assets into smaller digital tokens tradable on blockchain networks.
Drawing a parallel with stock markets, he said just as individuals can buy shares of a company, tokenization would allow fractional ownership in real estate, infrastructure, commodities, and intellectual property, potentially improving returns and long-term financial security.
