Although our daily lives continue to be based on concepts like location and price per square meter, in other geographies, a new language is emerging, supported by cutting-edge technology: real estate tokenization.
The concept may seem technical, somewhat distant, but its impact will soon be felt. It involves the possibility of converting physical assets — such as properties or construction projects — into digital, fractionalized assets. Each “token” represents a part of the asset and is securely and transparently registered on a blockchain. What this means in practice is that anyone, from anywhere in the world, can invest in a property with just a few clicks.
In this new paradigm, the assets remain the same — but access, scale, and the business model change radically.
Tokenization has the potential to, for example, increase the speed of financing new projects, attract capital from small global investors, and in this sense, open new perspectives for developers and investors.
“Tokenization represents a real opportunity, but it requires an update of skills, and professionals who want to stay relevant will have to learn a new language of ownership.”
It’s a structural change, and it’s knocking at the door of all market players.
Of course, for this innovation to gain real traction, a robust legal framework is essential. MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), approved by the European Union in 2023, will be gradually implemented until December 2025, and it precisely represents this new framework.
Tokenization represents a real opportunity, but it requires an update of skills, and professionals who want to stay relevant will have to learn a new language of ownership.
Professionals and companies that prepare now will be at the forefront of a new cycle. This is the time to invest in knowledge, experiment with new paths, and take an active role in building the cities of the future.
