Utility token crypto assets or utility tokens are digital tokens based on blockchain technology that provides users access to products or services and derive value from that right. Utility tokens do not give holders ownership in the platform or the assets of the issuing company. Still, they can be traded between holders, and utility tokens are not used to pay. Its intrinsic value comes from the demand for the publisher's goods or services. Meanwhile, asset-backed crypto tokens are digital tokens based on blockchain technology that show and derive their value from something that is not on the blockchain. It comes from a representation of ownership of physical assets (for example, natural resources such as gold or oil). The value is determined based on the underlying asset (PwC, 2019).
