# 1.3 Ordinal and Fractional

<mark style="color:purple;">**Fractional ordinals emerged as a response to the need for increased accessibility and liquidity in high-value assets.**</mark> By fragmenting and tokenizing ordinals, fractional ownership became possible, allowing individuals to own a <mark style="color:purple;">**fraction of valuable assets that were once out of reach.**</mark>

The concept of fractional ordinals addresses the barriers to ownership by enabling average collectors to own a portion of high-value assets like luxury yachts and real estate. <mark style="color:purple;">**Through fractional ownership, individuals can invest in these assets without the need for substantial capital.**</mark>

One of the significant advantages of fractional ordinals is the <mark style="color:purple;">**reduction of entry barriers.**</mark> Average collectors gain access to assets that would otherwise be unaffordable, allowing them to experience the benefits and privileges of ownership.
