Real estate tokenisation: an emerging trend 

BLOCKCHAIN has sometimes been criticised as a solution looking for a problem. This analysis may be overly simplistic in the context of real estate.

Tokenisation and the blockchain protocol for property are fast gaining traction around the world. They have shown that they can ease pain points in transactions even as they unlock new business opportunities and augment existing markets.

Blockchain-powered investment platforms such as United States’ Republic and RealT, Europe’s Blocksquare, and Singapore’s Fraxtor and CitaDAO, are boundary-pushing use cases that have been tokenising real estate investment assets, making them more accessible to a wider range of investors.
