The global tokenized real estate market is growing fast: Valued at $3.8 billion in 2024, it is forecast to hit $26 billion by 2034.
This is an innovative concept that is set to transform property investment and ownership dramatically over the next decade.
Enhanced Liquidity:
Real estate has traditionally always been an illiquid asset, but fractional ownership opens up a trading market that increases liquidity. It becomes much easier to buy and sell shares in real estate.
Democratization of Real Estate Investment:
Accessibility for a much wider range of investors is one of the many positive impacts of tokenization. Those previously frozen out of the market now have entry options.
Efficiency and Cost Reduction:
The use of automated smart contracts reduces or, in some cases, eliminates completely the need for intermediaries. This reduces costs and streamlines other aspects of the real estate investment model.
Diversification and Customization:
The ability to diversify an overall investment portfolio with the addition of tokenized real estate assets, plus tailored property portfolios, give great flexibility.
Transparency and Security:
Blockchain tech offers immutable ownership and transaction records, plus greater transparency in property valuation history.
As with all relatively new asset classes, there are regulatory development considerations to be taken into account.
