Blocksquare and Vera Capital have partnered to tokenize $1 billion worth of U.S. real estate, a move that reflects broader adoption of blockchain in traditional finance (TradFi).
According to the announcement shared with Bitcoin.com News, the deal will use Blocksquare’s infrastructure to convert commercial and multifamily properties into digital tokens, allowing global investors to buy fractional ownership. The first asset, a $5.4 million property in Fort Lauderdale, offers a 5% annual return.
Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) has gained massive traction in 2024 and 2025 as investors seek more accessible and liquid ways to own physical assets. Vera Capital’s campaign on Blocksquare’s Oceanpoint platform attracted over 100,000 staked BST tokens in one hour, demonstrating strong interest.
Vera Group, the parent company of Vera Capital, manages $100 million in real estate and will oversee the tokenization of properties across seven states. The marketplace is set to launch in the coming weeks.
Blocksquare operates in more than 20 countries, providing tools to connect real estate with blockchain technology. Its Oceanpoint platform also integrates decentralized finance (DeFi) features.
