Frequently asked questions
Would the prices of these tokens be as volatile as cryptocurrencies? No, since the value of the property tokens is derived from the underlying asset in the real world, the value would not be as volatile as digital-only assets like most cryptocurrencies.
What are the risks and challenges associated with real estate tokenization?
Market liquidity: Although one of the benefits of tokenization is increased liquidity, the market for tokenized real estate is still growing. As a result, investors might not be able to quickly buy or sell tokens at their desired price.
Technology risk: Real estate tokenization relies on blockchain technology, which is still evolving. Security vulnerabilities, technological failures, or flaws in the underlying blockchain could lead to loss of investment or ownership rights.
Fraud and scams: As with any new investment opportunity, tokenized real estate could attract bad actors who attempt to defraud investors through fake projects or platforms.
Due diligence: Evaluating the value of a tokenized real estate asset may be challenging, especially for non-experts.
