LAToken (LA)
LAToken, also known as Liquidity Asset Token or the LATO, is a new digital asset that promises investors and users to transfer liquid assets like a car and a house into fractional ownership token. LAToken is a unique blockchain-based way that investors can use to access cash for things they own. Just the same as people use banks to borrow mortgage and car loans, LAToken lets you extend the concept of your car home or any value that you own.
In other words, people can use LATO’s marketplace to take a liquid asset and sell fractional ownership over the blockchain. You don’t have to borrow money or pay interest for the money after you get the cash. As it is explained by their website LAToken.com, you only have access to more cash at much lower cost than you realize.
Another thing that LAToken offers its users is the ability to tokenize their assets. Users have the ability to diversify their portfolio while maintaining a low-risk threshold. LATO tokens give users a fractional ownership of physical assets like paintings, real estate, and other physical items to help them diversify their investments.
