The rising decentralized finance (DeFi) is expected to accelerate the growth of the tokenized equipment leasing market going forward. Decentralized finance (DeFi) refers to blockchain based financial systems that enable peer to peer transactions without intermediaries. The decentralized finance (DeFi) is increasing due to the growing demand for transparent, accessible, and intermediary free financial services powered by blockchain technology, as it allows users to directly manage assets, earn yields, and access global financial opportunities without depending on traditional banking systems. Tokenized equipment leasing aligns with decentralized finance (DeFi) by transforming physical leasing agreements into digital tokens on blockchain, allowing fractional ownership, transparent transactions, and improved liquidity while providing access to global investors and minimizing reliance on traditional intermediaries. For instance, in January 2025, according to Ernst and Young Global Limited, a UK based accounting company, in 2025, the share of respondents engaging with DeFi is projected to nearly triple within two years, increasing from 24 percent to 75 percent. Therefore, the rising decentralized finance (DeFi) is accelerating the growth of the tokenized equipment leasing market.
