MQube, a mortgage fintech firm, has tokenised £1.3bn worth of mortgage debt on the blockchain, becoming the first fintech in Europe to do so.
The firm explained that tokenisation of assets involves converting tangible or intangible assets, such as real estate, into digital tokens recorded on a decentralised blockchain ledger or digital registry.
“The benefits of tokenising mortgage debt right now, is that it allows mortgage lenders to achieve data integrity, transaction security and audit traceability” - Stuart Cheetham, MQube CEO.
