IP Coins | Methodology & Mechamism

Abstract

Abstract:Intellectual Property (IP) represents the largest class of assets in the global economy ($65–100 trillion) yet remains structurally absent from corporate balance sheets under GAAP and IFRS (IAS 38). Consequently, the market capitalisation of technology companies is artificially split only into Tangible Assets (TA) and a Speculative Premium (MP), with the real value of IP hidden inside MP. This technical specification outlines Version 1.0 of the IP Coin methodology, delivering a market-based spot utility token framework designed to materialize the hidden value of intellectual property into a liquid, visible asset layer (IP_visible). By purchasing IP Coin, investors directly capitalise the previously invisible IP of a public company. The platform displays three layers – TA, MP, and IP_visible – and automatically transfers purchase value from MP to IP_visible based on the strict capital conservation rule: MC = TA + IP_visible + MP. The Intangible Dominance Ratio (IDR = IP_visible / MC) updates automatically after every trade as a derived performance metric, rather than a price-setting oracle. This methodology creates the first market-based solution for IP tokenisation without altering accounting standards.
