The real estate market is transforming significantly with the emergence of tokenization. The process of tokenization allows real estate bonds to be fractionalized into smaller, more affordable tokens and makes digital ownership possible as the assets are converted into digital tokens stored on a blockchain.
This innovative approach presents an opportunity for small-scale investors to take part in the real estate market by lowering barriers to entry and creating liquidity.
Commercial or residential real estate
The real estate can be tokenized whether it is commercial, residential or trophy. Expensive commercial properties like shopping center and malls can be cut into fractional slices, making investments more affordable. Apartments in multi-story residential towers can also be tokenized, facilitating quick sales and purchases. One could liquidate their trophy asset through tokenization while raising funds for projects.
Wider pool of investors
For issuers like real estate investing platforms, fractionalization gives them the possibility to reach a wider investor base with a larger pool of investment capital. Streamlined processes and automation reduce operational costs in the lifecycle of the tokenized security. Settlement facilitated by blockchain technology makes the transfers of ownership rights in the asset faster and more secure, with an immutable record of ownership always tracked on blockchain.
So, real estate tokenization offers many benefits. The most significant are increased asset liquidity, greater transaction transparency, and access to a bigger pool of investors.
