"Tokenized real assets would be categorized as security tokens. Currently, most crypto exchanges are not ready to list security tokens, as they would need to comply with the applicable security exchange regulations. […] When trading exchange-listed alternative assets, such as REITs, on a traditional exchange, KYC and AML checks are conducted by the financial intermediary where the investor has the trading account. In the case of security tokens, the crypto exchange might fill this role, so issuers only need to do their own due diligence at the time of the ICO."
