For Investors

Tokenized Real Estate

Tokenization is the process of issuing a block chain token that digitally and legally represents a real asset. With tokenized real estate properties, retail investors can obtain access to high quality real estate investments which are usually reserved to wealthy individuals or institutions. They can start with a minimum amount as small as EUR/USD 9,999. They can also diversify their portfolios in a manner that is similar to the method wealthy investors have used for hundreds of years.

Benefits of tokenized assets

Peer-to-Peer Trading


In terms of new capabilities, tokenization makes it possible to easily support peer-to-peer trading of tokenized securities. Unlisted securities such as real estate properties are generally difficult to trade and often illiquid. This means that investors are accustomed to being locked into these investments for many years. Inexpensive and efficient liquidity for unlisted securities using tokens is a totally new opportunity for investors. We provide exchange-like marketplaces that allow the issuers to provide liquidity to their investors.

Fractionalization


With the ability to fractionalize assets down to very small sizes, it becomes possible and attractive to involve 100 or even 1,000 investors in each project. This in turn makes it possible to reduce the typical minimum ticket size for real estate projects from USD/EUR 100,000 down to perhaps USD/EUR 1,000 or even 100. The exchange automatically handles on-boarding of investors and their purchase of tokens (shares). The exchange also automatically keeps the shareholder register updated in relation to trading activities

Democratization


In the US and Asia, most financing rounds for real estate projects are limited to accredited investors. In Europe, the regulation is more flexible and most EU member states allow fund-raising up to EUR 5m or 8m from retail investors. In any case, with fractionalization it becomes possible to reduce the ticket size and allow retail investors to participate in the financing round.

Global Standards and Interoperability


The standards for tokenized securities and digital assets that we used is ERC-1400. These standards ensure that an investor who purchased a tokenized share in one country can later sell it anywhere else in the world, and an issuer who financed his project with the tokens exchange platform can later have his tokens traded on a licensed security token exchange.
