Just a few years back, asset tokenization required deep knowledge of blockchain, coding and legal aspects of recording the issuance of equities. Now the procedure has been simplified thanks to the emergence of platforms for asset tokenization which have shouldered the biggest portion of obligations associated with the tokenization process – from token issuance to their record and listing on exchange.
In this article we run through the four frontmost platforms: Neufund, Harbor, Binaryx and Tokensoft. Let’s compare their capabilities and discover their differences.

Neufund is the platform for tokenization of assets on Ethereum blockchain, intended to bring together the blockchain startups and venture capital. It enables conversion of any equities or financial instruments into tokens of any kind and facilitates their subsequent sale within the platform or on various exchanges. Neufund also offers legal and technical support of token sale.
The salient feature of the platform is the tokensale model called Equity Token Offering (ETO). In essence, it’s a hybrid investment model combining advantages of IPO, ICO and venture capital round. Registered companies undergo ETO, issuers are submitted to verification similar to an audit for IPO, and ETO-token holders have the same rights as owners of physical shares: rights to vote, fractional ownership, dividends (if applicable), transfer of ownership etc.
Harbor is another blockchain platform, designed for the launch of security tokens and their further licensing….
