DigiShares has launched RealEstate.Exchange (REX) on the Polygon blockchain, enabling tokenized real estate trading for retail investors. Announced on March 25, REX provides a compliant platform for fractional investments in a secondary market, addressing liquidity issues in the industry. The platform will initially feature two luxury properties in Miami, including The Legacy Hotel & Residences and a residential complex managed by Trade Estate. DigiShares CEO Claus Skaaning indicated that REX will cater to various property types and has additional properties in the pipeline. The choice of Polygon's low transaction costs and fast settlement times enhances the platform's usability. REX is licensed in the U.S. through Texture Capital and is seeking registrations under EU frameworks such as MiCA and MiFID, with interests in South Africa and the UAE. The RWA tokenization market currently values at approximately $62 billion, with expectations for future growth into trillions. Although still in its early stages, the potential for real estate tokenization is significant, with DigiShares facilitating substantial transactions since 2018.
