Episode 10: Real Estate Investment and Tokenization

On this episode Viviana talks with finance and blockchain technology expert, Claus Skaaning. The topic of our conversation is how to use cryptocurrency or tokens as a new vehicle to invest in real estate. Claus is a PhD in Computer Science from Denmark, passionate about the democratization of currency at the global level, and CEO of DigiShares. He shares his insight on how the real estate and finance industries can capitalize on a future that would be founded on blockchain infrastructure. In a nutshell, tokenization is one way to securitize real assets. To securitize an asset means to divide it into shares that you can sell to investors. In the same way, to “tokenize” an asset is to divide it into shares, or “tokens”, that represent a predefined share of the underlying asset. Those assets can be real estate. This is an innovative way to invest in real estate using cryptocurrency, and in manageable inclements depending on your investment capacity and appetite. Claus also shares news about a Digital Securities and Tokenization Summit hosted by DigiShare this month.
