The real estate industry has been ripe for disruption, and Vast is aiming to be leading the way. By leveraging blockchain technology, Vast is creating new opportunities for investors to tap into the vast potential of real-world assets. We will conduct an analysis on Vast and see how they will launch their tokenized real estate platform in the future.
The real estate industry has long been a valuable asset class for investors. However, the traditional real estate investment process is plagued with inefficiencies and high barriers to entry. Vast is changing that by creating a platform that enables investors to participate in fractionalized ownership of real estate assets using blockchain technology. It is interesting because they are able to put every fractionalized owner into the land registry, providing real ownership of the asset.
Most real estate tokenizers create SPVs and offer shares that represent a specific value, however in this case you are the owner of the SPV and not the real estate itself directly. Furthermore, it allows DeFi Lender and Borrowers to accept the fractionalized tokens as collateral (because there is a real ownership).
Vast and other tokenizers are disrupting the real estate industry by democratizing access to real estate assets. The platform removes the traditional barriers to entry, such as high transaction fees, lack of transparency, and lengthy settlement periods. By doing so, Vast is unlocking a new pool of capital that was previously unavailable to real estate investors.
Some of the potential future innovations:
Integration with AI and machine learning algorithms to provide more accurate valuations of real estate assets
Expansion into new markets
Partnerships with DeFi protocols so that investors can provide their fractionalized shares as collateral, get a loan and reinvest.
Disrupting the real estate industry is not an easy task. I'd also like to add that it's not about disrupting but rather providing another way of using our beloved blockchain technology in a massive industry.
