Most property owners don’t realize how close they are to unlocking capital without selling anything.
If you’ve ever wondered how hotels, villas, and developers raise money faster today, this edition breaks it down step by step. You’ll see exactly how tokenization works, what goes wrong for most owners, and the practical five-step process that separates real projects from hype. By the end, you’ll know the safest and most profitable path to tokenizing any property.
Here is how it works.
💡 Random Relevant & Remarkable Facts
(Did you know…?)
Most tokenized real-world asset (RWA) deals struggle with liquidity.
A recent academic paper found that even though tokenization enables ownership digitization, many assets still suffer from low trading volumes, long holding periods, and virtually no active secondary markets. (learn more)
A single tokenized property often has hundreds of owners—but the typical investor holds very few tokens. One empirical dataset shows a tokenized property averaged 254 owners, while individual investors typically held about $4,030 worth of tokens and only held an average of 10 different tokens—meaning diversification in token real estate is still very shallow.

There’s more value locked in traditional mutual funds than all tokenized RWAs combined—but tokenization could unlock tens of billions in efficiency gains.
A report by BCG noted that while global mutual funds have circa USD $58 trillion in assets under management, tokenized funds and RWAs are still in the low tens of billions—meaning scale is massive and the upside is large. (learn more)
1. Structure the deal before you touch the blockchain
Tokenization doesn’t start with coding. It starts with structuring.
You clarify the investment vehicle, define what investors actually get (equity, revenue share, debt), and determine which jurisdictions make sense based on tax and investor profiles. This foundation decides whether your token is legally investable—or dead on arrival.
Well-structured deals attract capital. Poorly structured deals scare it away.

2. Digitize the property and create the legal wrapper
This is where traditional real estate processes meet blockchain.
Ownership documents, valuations, licenses, rental agreements, and historical financials are uploaded into a secure digital register. Then, an SPV or trust structure is created to hold the property. This structure becomes the “bridge” between the real-world asset and the tokens. Digitization ensures transparency. The legal wrapper ensures compliance.
Both are non-negotiable.
3. Mint the tokens and connect smart contracts
Only after the legal and structural foundation is set do you mint the tokens.
A modern standard like ERC-1155 allows you to combine fractional shares and ownership rights in one contract. Smart contracts automate compliance, distributions, whitelisting, and investor rights. This phase is where tokenization becomes more than fractional shares.
It becomes a programmable asset.
4. Distribute the tokens to investors
Primary distribution is the capital-raising phase.
Here, investor onboarding, AML/KYC, compliance flow, payment rails, and investor dashboards come into play. A strong process builds trust. A weak process kills momentum.
This phase is also the stage where owners feel the biggest advantage: tokenization dramatically expands the investor pool beyond local buyers.
5. Manage the asset and enable liquidity
Post-tokenization is where smart contracts shine.
Automated distributions, automated reporting, transparent revenue, and fractional resale opportunities make the asset far easier to manage. Secondary liquidity, even internal OTC liquidity, becomes possible. This is the long-term value most owners miss: your property becomes a dynamic, tradable financial product instead of a static, heavy asset.
Before you tokenize your property, avoid these common mistakes:
Skipping the deal structure and jumping straight to minting tokens.
No proper SPV or legal wrapper to protect investors.
Treating tokenization like crypto instead of a regulated securities process.
Ignoring KYC and compliance flows during investor onboarding.
Promising liquidity without an actual liquidity strategy.
