Big news in the world of real estate and blockchain!
According to a fresh report from the Deloitte Centre for Financial Services, over $4 trillion worth of real estate could be tokenised on blockchain networks by 2035. That’s a huge leap from less than $300 billion in 2024! They’re forecasting a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 27%, all thanks to the innovations happening in blockchain-based real estate.
The shift isn’t just about technology; real estate itself is going through a major transformation. Chris Yin, the co-founder of Plume Network (a blockchain built for real-world assets), explained how trends like work-from-home, climate risks, and digitalisation are reshaping what we know about property ownership.
Buildings are no longer just offices — they’re being turned into AI data centres, logistics hubs, and energy-efficient homes. And guess what? Tokenisation makes it easier for investors to get a piece of these modern assets.
With blockchain for marketing and property ownership, investors can now have customised, programmable exposure to different types of properties. This is a big win for people looking to diversify their portfolios in new ways.
There’s more: Global uncertainties like tariffs and economic instability have boosted interest in real estate and blockchain. According to Juan Pellicer, a senior analyst at IntoTheBlock, both stablecoins and RWAs are attracting serious investment. He also mentioned that tokenised gold trading even crossed $1 billion in volume recently, showing how investors are trusting blockchain during uncertain times.
Blockchain and marketing efforts are also playing a big role here. The more people hear about the benefits of blockchain-based assets, the faster adoption grows.
Chris Yin pointed out something important: regulation will follow usage. He compared the rise of tokenisation to how Uber grew rapidly before regulations caught up. He believes making tokenised products that fit international laws is key to opening up the market to more investors.
But not everyone is fully convinced yet. At Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Michael Sonnenshein, COO of Securitise, said that real estate might not be the easiest asset for tokenisation right now. He argued that more liquid assets are in higher demand in today’s on-chain economy.
Still, with so much excitement and investment flowing into blockchain-based real estate, it's clear that real estate and blockchain are becoming tightly connected.
