Shrinking Real Estate into a Token

Lexi Piper29 Oct, 2018News

Tokenization of assets will revolutionize the status quo due to the transparency and immutable nature of the blockchain, especially the low liquid markets. The global real estate market is estimated at $217 trillion with a 25% contribution from commercial real-estate. The tokenization of real estate will increase liquidity and can be traded with ease. The tokenization of real-world assets can unlock the most unresolved issues i.e. the liquidity issue. The popularity of security tokens is majorly driven by the need to tokenize illiquid assets. Every asset from house to equities can be securitized, however, the confusion between different regulatory arms across the world has created a frenzy for creating a tokenized platform. Issuance and trading of security tokens have been a hurdle due to the different compliances across countries.
