Real Estate Tokenization
Real estate is the largest asset class in the world. Globally, in the professionally managed industry, the size of the total real estate market reached $8.9 trillion in 2018, up from $8.5 trillion in 2017. That being said, the industry still suffers from significant barriers to entry. New technology, specifically tokenization, can alleviate many problems that currently exist in the industry today. But what is tokenization? Tokenization is the process of converting an asset into a digital form that lives on a blockchain infrastructure. It can turn challenges that are seen in the industry into opportunities: -
Illiquid → Liquid: Real estate suffers from low liquidity because it is expensive for investors to buy and sell their stakes. Tokenization greatly improves processes and reduces the cost of liquidating shares. This encourages more trading on secondary markets. -
Fragmented → Connected: Today’s global real estate market revolves around many fragmented systems. Using the blockchain, market participants can access relevant information on a real-time basis, allowing for more informed and timely decisions.
