Real World Assets

Token transfers. Funds follow. Automatically.

01
Real World Assets

06

07

What is tokenized real estate, and what does a token holder own?

A real estate token is almost never the title deed: it is a share, fund unit or debt claim on the entity that owns the building, with the rights that follow.

14
Real World Assets
When can a tokenized security be resold in the United States?

In the United States, resale depends on the offering route: at once under Regulation A, after six months or one year under Regulation D, one year under Reg CF.
