Duration Paris Blockchain Week, the director of Operations of Securitize, Michael Sonnenshein, was news by dismissing real estate as a class of suboptimal assets for token. This is not the first time that cryptographic leaders have underestimated the merits of bringing real estate, and it is likely not the last. While respecting Sonnenshein’s contributions to the adoption of digital assets, its evaluation loses fundamental points on the transformative potential of real estate tokenization.
Real estate repains the largest asset class in the world and it is expected to reach a value of $ 654.39 billion this year, in the statista. When industry leaders affirm that the mass market is not suitable for tokenization, today’s transforming infrastructure and the central value proposal that extends far beyond blender, transforming access to the asset class.
Replacement of traditional bases
Sonnenshein argues that “good systems” already exist for traditional assets. He implies that tokenization sacrifices marginal improvements in the best case, but this evaluation ignores the fundamental inefficiencies in the current real estate market that addresses tokenization.
The current real estate transaction process implies weeks of paperwork. Within the United Kingdom, there are a series of purchase rates that can easily add 10% to the total invoice. Liquidation periods can be extended to months and complexity are multiplied exponentially for cross -border transactions.
These are not minor defects. They are systemic failures that tokenization technology is unique to solve. Take the capacity of intelligent contracts for automatic compliance, for example, allowing the verification and distribution of payments while reducing fraud through the maintenance of immutable records.
Redefine demand beyond lycuidity
When Sonnenshein says that “the chain economy demands more liquid active,” misunderstands what daily investors really demand. For 99% excluded from institutional degree real estate investments, the main task is not a bitcoin licuction; It is a significant access to a class of assets that has built more wealth than any other during the last century.
Traditional real estate investment vehicles require significant sums such as minimal investments, accredited investors and capital blocking periods of several years. These effective barriers exclude teachers, nurses and middle class families from participating in main real estate properties that have delivered constant historical performance for investors.

Tokenization changes fundamentally this equation. Fractionalization of property through tokenization, investors can now participate with only $ 100, receive proportional income distributions and any trade in their positions in specialized secondary markets. The demand for this democratized access is huge, even if the secondary market of market liquefy initially is left behind liquid markets.
Translation problems? Not quite
Sonnenshein also suggests that tokenization does not “translate well” to represent the property in real estate. This evaluation overlooks the revolutionary capacity of the block chain to allow fractional investments in properties that were previously accessible only to institutional investors.
Tokenization technology stands out precisely in the creation of transparent and safe fractional investment opportunities with minimal overload. A $ 50 million residential development project can be divided into 500,000 tokens, each with the same part of the income for rent and the possible appreciation. This drastically reduces entry barriers while maintaining the central benefits of real estate as asset class.
This fundamental fractionization transforms how people can generate wealth through real estate. Previously, Reit offered the only realistic path to the diversified exhibition to property, often with high rates, without limited control and transparency. Tokenization allows investors to build personalized wallets in multiple types of properties, all administered through a single digital wallet.
What does not “translate well” is not technology. Obsolete regulatory frameworks and regular commercial models resist this necessary evolution. The Eau Government recognizes this reality, supported by its recent Tokenize initiative $ 1 billion in real estate assets.
Building tomorrow’s infrastructure
The conservative position on the growth projections of RWA loses the accelerated development of the ongoing infrastructure. The Blackrock tokenized money market fund, Buidl, is quickly approaching $ 3 billion in assets, demonstrating a significant institutional appetite for tokenized investment vehicles. This is an isolated case.
UBS ASSET MANAGEMENT, Hamilton Lane, Franklin Templeton and many more have launched tokenized investment vehicles, indicating a fundamental change in how traditional finances sees tokenization technology.
What critics constantly underestimate is the network effect of financial infrastructure. Each institutional participant not only adds linearly to the ecosystem. Expontially, connectivity and liquuity groups increases. We are witnessing the first internships of a forcing cycle to themselves where each new participant reduces the friction of subsequent entrants.
The shoulder narrative center in current limitations. Instead, there should be a focus of attention on what Bee Build is. Secondary markets optimized for real world assets are emerging, regulatory clarity is increasing in key jurisdictions, and each development strengthens the basis for mass adoption at a rate that probably convents current skeptics.
Creation of democratized wealth
Institutional investors have enjoyed privileged access to the most profitable real estate investments for decades, while retail investors were limited to residential properties or high rate reit. Tokenization breaks this paradigm by allowing anyone to build a portfolio voltage of diversified properties commercial, residential and industrial active in multiple geographies.
When cryptographic leaders dismiss real estate tokenization based solely on liquuidity metrics, they apply the incorrect measurement standard. The transformative potential lies in democratizing access to a class of assets that has created more millionaires than any other investment vehicle in history.
The end of the real estate tokenization game is to make institutional degree real estate investments accessible to all. The adoption of tokenized real estate and other real world assets will continue to grow despite the skepticism of executives who lose the forest for trees.
