1. An Alternative Trading System (ATS) computer-implemented method comprising:

electronically ingesting capitalization table data representing a capitalization table, the capitalization table data defining capitalization of an asset and at least including fields indicating: (1) a plurality of investors in the asset and (2) a fiat currency investment each of the plurality of investors has invested in the asset;

triggering an asset price calculation;

subsequent to triggering the asset price calculation:

extracting fields relevant to digitally re-formulating fractional interests in the asset, including the plurality of investors and corresponding fiat currency investments, from the electronically ingested capitalization table data; and

accessing a continuous learning model trained on capitalization table data and a corresponding identified price share denominator from at least one prior digital re-formulation of fractional interests;

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein utilizing the continuous learning model automatically suggesting a guardrail share pricing range based on a plurality of pricing factors comprises utilizing the continuous learning model automatically suggesting a guardrail share pricing range based on at least one of: market trends, offers of other assets similar to the asset, past assets listed by an owner of the asset on the ATS exchange, or timing.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing an asset owner preference for a specified share pricing priority from among a plurality of different share pricing priorities comprises accessing a best price after removing outliers priority.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein electronically ingesting capitalization table data representing a capitalization table comprises ingesting capitalization data defining capitalization of an asset, the asset selected from among: gold, real estate, oil, a franchise investment, uranium, timber, private credit, or private debt.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein electronically ingesting capitalization table data representing a capitalization table comprises ingesting the capitalization table data from another system via an API.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

mapping the capitalization data into an ATS exchange usable format; and

returning the plurality of tokens via the API to the other system in a format desired by a recipient.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a buy/sell transaction for a portion of the asset at the ATS exchange based on the share price, including:

electronically transferring at least one token, from among the plurality of tokens, into an ATS exchange managed digital wallet of a new investor in the asset; and

updating the capitalization table indicating the new investor has invested in real asset.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein performing the buy/sell transaction comprises transferring fiat currency at least in an amount of the share price out of an ATS exchange managed currency wallet of the new investor.

10. An Alternative Trading System (ATS) system comprising:

one or more memories comprising instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions, which, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:

electronically ingest capitalization table data representing a capitalization table, the capitalization table data defining capitalization of the asset and at least including fields indicating: (1) a plurality of investors in the asset and (2) a fiat currency investment each of the plurality of investors has invested in the asset;

trigger an asset price calculation;

subsequent to triggering the asset price calculation:

extract fields relevant to digitally re-formulating fractional interests in the asset, including the plurality of investors and corresponding fiat currency investments, from the capitalization table data; and

access a continuous learning model trained on capitalization table data and a corresponding identified price share denominator from at least one prior digital re-formulation of fractional interests;

utilize the continuous learning model to automatically:

suggest a guardrail share pricing range based on a plurality of pricing factors and defining a minimum asset share price and a maximum asset share price; and

identify a denominator within the guardrail share pricing range representing a share price for shares in the asset to be used when digitally re-formulating fractional interests in the asset, including:

access an asset owner preference for a specified share pricing priority from among a plurality of different share pricing priorities; and

identify the denominator in accordance with the specified share pricing priority, including:

 perform a first iteration of calculating potential investor loses in view of a potential denominator representing a possible share price, including per investor in the plurality of investors:

 calculate investor loss based on the fiat currency investment of the investor and the possible share price;

 identify an outlier investor subset from among the plurality of investors as outliers based on the loss for each investor in the outlier investor subset exceeding a specified magnitude;
