By now, you’ve probably heard about real estate tokenization, but you might not know exactly what it is. Or, you may know what it is, but have your doubts that it’s ever really going to take off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokenization is a relatively new real estate platform built on blockchain technology that converts physical or financial assets into bite-size digital representations. These “tokens” can be securely traded or owned in fractional portions on a digital platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the level of tokenized real estate represents a very small share of sales volume today, a report from Deloitte<\/a> noted that the real estate tokenization market globally is expected to hit $4 trillion by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This growing real estate niche is among the many types of transactions undergoing digitalization and recorded by blockchain<\/a>, according to Ed Nwokedi, founder, CEO & director of sales at RedSwan, a brokerage firm specializing in tokenized real estate sales. Launched in 2018, RedSwan, which sells tokenized shares of industrial, multifamily and hotel assets, was a pioneer in real estate tokenization and continues to be a leader in this sector, with nearly $200 million worth of tokenized assets currently for sale on its platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
