Following this distribution, these tokens are listed on the Ping Exchange, facilitating secondary market trading and ensuring liquidity for token holders.

Converting open-ended life settlement investment funds into fractioned parts, referred to as tokens, transforms traditionally hard-to-move assets into easily transferable units. This fosters a more streamlined and efficient marketplace.

The VERAT platform, with specific reference to its embedded tokenization system, is set to not only revolutionize liquidity transformation in the life settlement bond industry but also to allow more inclusivity for smaller and even individual investors. Enabling fractional ownership in traditionally large life settlement bond structures can unlock asset value. Previously, these structures were exclusive to large financial institutions and investors. On the other hand, VERAT expands its investor base and specifically includes smaller investors by reducing capital investment requirements.

Real-Time Valued Financial Instruments: Transparent Real-Time Data Analytics

VERAT's digital Life Settlement platforms will be developed using the Core Blockchain Ecosystem and the CorePass Digital Identity platform. It will present users with a streamlined dashboard designed for various functions.

An Insight into the USA Life Settlement Market

According to recent data, the U.S. life settlement market continues to demonstrate robust growth and resilience, even in the face of economic adversity. Research conducted by Conning displays a promising future for life settlements. This upward trajectory is fueled by factors such as the increasing consumer demand for alternative income sources and investor interest in diverse assets. Economic circumstances, such as rising interest rates, also positively enhance the crediting rates for universal life policies. Such a conducive environment is projected to stimulate consistent growth in the annual face value of newly settled policies and the overall gross market from 2023 to 2032.

Montage Financial Group offers valuable insights into the evolving market dynamics and trends of life settlements. According to a 2020 report by The Deal, approximately $4.6 billion was disbursed to 3,241 policyholders, marking an increase from $4.4 billion and 2,878 policyholders in 2019. This demonstrates notable growth potential. The average policy value in life settlements is about $1.2 million, and the typical life settlement payout is nearly four times the cash surrender value of the life insurance policy. This reveals an increasing perception of life settlements as a feasible and profitable option for policyholders.

On average, sellers received $255,000 per settlement, far greater than the cash surrender offerings from insurance companies. Noteworthy is that policies worth an approximate face value of $640 billion were lapsed or surrendered, suggesting that many policyholders could have benefited significantly from life settlements.

The aging of the Baby Boomer generation, which increases the pool of potential life settlement candidates, is driving the soaring interest in life settlements. Additionally, increased awareness and educational initiatives will likely support the life settlement market's growth. The range of available options for a growing number of seniors. In the United States, life settlements are a practical financial solution for the elderly. They offer a secure, regulated avenue to access funds for retirement needs via trustworthy brokers.

Asset tokenization is revolutionizing the wealth market by transforming physical or digital assets into blockchain-based tokens, representing ownership shares that can be traded on blockchain platforms.
