Overview This article examines the fundamental categories of blockchain tokens—utility tokens, security tokens, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)—explaining their distinct characteristics, regulatory frameworks, use cases, and providing concrete examples from current market implementations. Understanding Token Classifications in Blockchain Ecosystems Tokens represent programmable digital assets built on blockchain networks, serving diverse functions within decentralized ecosystems.

With ongoing SIPs of Rs 25,000, a growing mutual fund portfolio, and plans to invest an additional Rs 4 lakh,…
