INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Did you know that it is possible to invest in fractional shares of an original artwork in the same way you invest in shares of a company? These fractional shares are recorded as blockchain tokens, which can be transferred (gifted) or traded on designated platforms.
In theory, tokens appreciate in value as demand for the artist's work increases over time.
Tokens offer an affordable way to invest in an artist, their practice and their work while maintaining relative liquidity and transferability.
Karlalise is offering you the opportunity to invest in several of her artworks by means of tokenization.
