In a report published on April 24, Deloitte Financial Services Center predicts that the value of tokenized real estate could exceed $4 trillion by 2035 – a significant leap from the current figure of less than $300 billion. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated to be over 27%, indicating the explosive potential of the digitized real estate market through blockchain technology.
According to Deloitte, the trend of asset tokenization is an inevitable result of changes in real estate ownership structure, along with the widespread adoption of blockchain technology solutions in economic life.
"Real estate itself is undergoing a transformation," said Chris Yin, co-founder of Plume Network, a blockchain specialized for real-world assets (RWA).
He noted that post-pandemic remote work trends, climate risks, and digitization needs have reshaped the traditional operating principles of the real estate market.
"Office buildings are being repurposed into AI data centers, logistics centers, or energy-efficient residential communities," Yin added.
The flexibility and programmability of tokenization technology are paving the way for investors to access more modern asset models. With tokenization, fractional ownership becomes easier, while providing high customization in investment portfolio approach and management.
The increasing interest in tokenized RWA assets comes not only from technological innovation but also reflects a defensive trend against geopolitical fluctuations. Juan Pellicer, senior analyst at IntoTheBlock, noted that both stablecoins and RWA are emerging as safe-haven assets in the context of global trade tensions, especially due to tariff policies during Donald Trump's presidency.
Notably, the trading volume of tokenized gold has exceeded $1 billion on April 10 – the highest level since March 2023, when the US financial market was shaken by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Silvergate Bank.
Despite undeniable potential, the expansion of RWA in general and tokenized real estate in particular still faces significant legal challenges.
"Regulation is a barrier, but it will follow demand," Chris Yin emphasized.
He compared the development of tokenization to Uber's explosion – initially not recognized by the existing legal framework but ultimately leading to policy adjustments to align with trends.
However, not all industry experts agree with the prospects of tokenized real estate. At the Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Michael Sonnenshein – CEO of Securitize – expressed skepticism:
"I don't think tokenization should focus directly on real estate".
He believes the current on-chain market needs assets with higher liquidity, rather than being tied to physical assets with long-term investment periods.
Despite divergent opinions, it's hard to deny that real estate tokenization is opening a new chapter in how we invest in and own assets. With the continuous development of blockchain technology and increasing demand for investment flexibility, a tokenized real estate market worth trillions of dollars may no longer be a distant vision – but a future drawing near.
