A March 2023 report from CoinDesk highlights how various companies have started to fractionate the ownership of their reserves and future revenues by issuing tokens on blockchain platforms. This mechanism allows investors of various sizes to participate in financing mining projects, opening access to opportunities that were previously reserved for large institutions.
In Chile, companies like Lithium Dynamics have led this digital transformation by tokenizing assets related to lithium, a key mineral for the energy transition. The use of blockchain offers unprecedented transparency, reducing the need for intermediaries and lowering operating costs, which increases liquidity in the mining market.
It promotes the traceability of resources and compliance with environmental regulations, aspects that are essential for institutional investors who demand high governance standards.
