What is Asset Tokenization?
Landshare Team
The birth of Bitcoin created a new realm of possibilities for the way securities and other assets are
created, handled, and exchanged. The blockchain is changing the financial landscape by making it simple to divide an asset into smaller units of ownership, democratizing investment in previously illiquid assets and establishing more equitable marketplaces.
Every type of asset, including paintings, digital media platforms, real estate, stocks, and collectibles can be fractionalized and tokenized on blockchain’s distributed ledger.
Asset Tokenization Summarized
Asset Tokenization is the process of creating digital tokens on the blockchain which represent the ownership of various real world and digital assets. Due to the unchangeable nature of blockchain, once you purchase tokens that represent an asset, no authority can remove or alter your ownership. In some cases, such as Landshare’s real estate tokens, holders also earn dividends generated by the underlying asset.
For example, if there are 100,000 tokens created for a given asset, and you hold 10,000 of them, you possess a 10% share in the value of that asset. In addition to ownership, you are also entitled to 10% of any net profits generated from the asset (i.e., rental income).
How does Asset Tokenization work?
One common question with asset tokenization is how it works in practice. For example, how can 500 different people own a house? Who controls the asset, and what kind of power do they have over it?
To solve these issues, the asset is not tokenized directly. Rather, the asset is held in an LLC, corporation, or DAO, and ownership of that entity is represented by the tokens. When purchasing a tokenized asset, you are actually purchasing an ownership share of the company or organization that owns it.

As legal shareholders, token holders enjoy all the same financial and legal rights of shareholders in any other company, including profit distributions, fraud protection, and certain voting rights. In this way, asset-backed tokens are uniquely secure investments in a space that is known to suffer from rug pulls, scams, and theft.
Why is Asset Tokenization important?
Asset Tokenization ushers in a new paradigm for real estate investing. Asset tokenization allows real estate to become a trustless, fractional, and liquid asset. To better understand why Asset Tokenization is important let’s look a few examples.
1. Trustless investing
Transferring ownership of a real estate asset today requires the need of middlemen, title companies, and lawyers to manage paperwork or act as an escrow between you and a buyer, which adds time and cost.
Through Asset Tokenization, real estate investing can be done without the lengthy third-party middlemen and title companies. A trustless process with instantly verifiability is beneficial for buyers and sellers alike. By eliminating administrative overhead and brokerage fees, more of the income is returned directly to investors
2. Transforming illiquid assets into liquid assets
Traditional real estate transactions that require sellers to go through the process of listing their asset on the market, screening offers, and completing paperwork to trade their asset. With Asset Tokenization, investors can instantly buy or sell their assets in a matter of seconds on the blockchain through services such as DS Swap.
3. Fractional sales
Asset Tokenization also transforms real estate into a fractional investment. There is no longer the need to sell the entirety of your real estate asset(s) to gain capital. Instead, you can choose to sell as little, or as much, of a share of your property allowing you to still maintain ownership.
Consider that you own a property valued at $300,000. Asset tokenization allows for the conversion of this property’s ownership into 300,000 tokens, each of which would represent a minuscule fraction (0.00033%) of the total property. If you were to need $50,000 in capital, selling your property would not make sense because you would still need a place to live. Instead, you can list 16.67% of your property for sale granting you the ability to maintain majority ownership while still getting the $50,000 in capital you need.
Likewise for investors, introducing liquidity to real estate assets allows for modest investments in a property. For instance, an investor can now diversify their portfolio with real estate assets for as little as $50 – something that historically was not possible.
Conclusion
Asset tokenization is revolutionizing the way assets are being traded, allowing for the fractionalization and digitization of assets including real estate, precious metals, art, and even sports memorabilia. Traditionally illiquid assets are now becoming liquid and granting trustless, fractional investment opportunities for people around the globe to diversify their portfolio with assets they were once priced out of.

Landshare October Recap
Landshare Team
October was a milestone month for Landshare – one that set the stage for the next era of on-chain real estate. From the official Landshare v2 announcement to new ecosystem updates, governance decisions, and exciting community initiatives, we’ve laid the groundwork for a future defined by growth, utility, and innovation.
This month, we introduced the framework that will redefine how investors, property owners, and DeFi users interact with real estate on-chain. Let’s recap the highlights 👇
Landshare v2 Announcement
The official unveiling of Landshare v2 signaled the start of a new chapter – one built around real utility, real yield, and real scalability.
Landshare v2 isn’t just an upgrade. It’s the foundation of a self-sustaining ecosystem where tokenized real estate finally reaches its full potential. The new system transforms stable assets into active yield-generating opportunities, seamlessly connecting traditional markets to DeFi.
The Three Pillars of Landshare v2
In our follow-up deep dive, we explored the three core pillars that form the foundation of Landshare v2:
- The Real Asset Vault (RAV): A seamless gateway for stablecoin holders to earn real yield backed by tokenized properties.
- The Tokenization Hub: A complete solution for property owners to bring their assets on-chain.
- The DeFi Suite: Tools and incentives that amplify participation and utility across the ecosystem.
Together, these pillars create a self-sustaining growth loop, where every user and property strengthens the entire network.
DAO Proposal Passed
In late October, the community voted to reduce LP emissions by 50% across both the LAND–BNB and LSRWA–USDT pools – with the proposal passing at 62.28% in favor.
This important step helps:
✅ Reduce daily LAND inflation
✅ Strengthen token scarcity and price stability
✅ Extend the reward pool lifespan
✅ Encourage long-term liquidity participation
The change will take effect within 48 hours of approval and marks another move toward a more balanced, sustainable economy for Landshare v2.

Tokenization Hub Breakdown
We released a comprehensive guide to the Landshare Tokenization Hub, explaining how property owners can now go beyond simple tokenization to access real investors, liquidity, and on-chain utility.
The Hub bridges traditional real estate with blockchain finance – creating a pathway for real-world assets to generate ongoing yield, transparency, and accessibility.
4.5M+ LAND Staked
October also marked another key milestone – over 4.5 million LAND tokens (nearly half of the total supply) are now staked in vaults. This incredible community achievement reflects growing confidence in Landshare’s long-term vision and token utility.
Community Townhall Incoming
We’re excited to announce our next Community Townhall, happening Thursday, November 6 at 12 PM CST or 6 PM CET on X Spaces!
Join Jordan (CEO), Travis (Co-Founder), and Ivan (CMO) as they discuss everything happening with Landshare v2, recent DAO proposals, and take your questions live.
Looking Ahead
With Landshare v2 on the horizon, the foundation is set for a new phase of growth and adoption. In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more details on the RAV launch, the Points Campaign, and other major milestones driving our ecosystem forward.
Stay tuned – the future of real estate is being built on-chain, and we’re just getting started.
Tokenization Hub Breakdown
Landshare Team
Real estate tokenization has been a buzzword for years. Yet in practice, most projects have failed to move beyond press releases and empty promises. Too often, blockchain has been used as a veneer to package illiquid or low-quality assets, leaving investors with tokens that serve little purpose and property owners with no meaningful results.
Without investors, liquidity, or secondary markets, tokenization becomes little more than an on-chain spreadsheet — a digital record of ownership that no one can trade or invest in. For property owners, that means time and money spent “tokenizing” without achieving key goals: raising capital, expanding visibility, or unlocking value.
A Smarter Path Forward
For real estate tokenization to truly work, it needs to deliver tangible investment outcomes. After years of building and refining on-chain real estate products, Landshare has developed a model designed to do exactly that.
The Landshare Tokenization Hub transforms tokenization from a passive concept into an active investment process — connecting high-quality properties with real investors, liquidity pathways, and a live blockchain economy.
The Tokenization Hub Solution
Most platforms stop once a token is created. Landshare’s Tokenization Hub goes further , offering a complete pathway for property owners to bring their assets on-chain and immediately engage investors.
Each project is structured for success from day one, with:
- Customized tokenization models tailored to each property
- Transparent fundraising mechanics with defined soft and hard caps
- Built-in integration with the broader Landshare ecosystem
By connecting directly to Landshare’s existing network of investors and DeFi infrastructure, offerings can attract participation as soon as they launch. Once a fundraising goal is met, property tokens are deposited into the Landshare RWA Pool, linking them to ongoing liquidity, yield mechanisms, and secondary market exposure.
Why This Model Delivers Real Results
Where others leave property owners to manage marketing, compliance, and liquidity alone, the Tokenization Hub handles these as part of a unified process. This integration dramatically increases the likelihood of meeting fundraising goals and sustaining long-term engagement.
Integration with the Landshare RWA Token (LSRWA) is central to this model. Rather than isolated tokens with no market, each property becomes part of a shared, liquid environment that generates yield and investor participation. Individual assets can still be represented, extracted, or traded independently when needed.
For example, a multifamily property owner might tokenize 20% equity to raise $500,000 on-chain, connect the asset to the RWA Pool for ongoing yield, and maintain full transparency for investors — all within a compliant, accessible framework.
How It Works
- Tokenize the Property: Landshare collaborates with property owners to create a digital representation of equity, income rights, or hybrid participation.
- Launch the Offering: The property is listed on the Tokenization Hub with defined terms, caps, and transparent investor access.
- Fundraising & Validation: Investors participate directly on-chain. Once the soft cap is reached, funds are secured and the offering is finalized.
- Ecosystem Integration: Tokens are deposited into the Landshare RWA Pool, and investors receive LSRWA tokens representing pooled value and yield potential.
- Ongoing Value Creation: Property owners gain lasting benefits through liquidity, visibility, and investor engagement. As new assets are added to the pool, owners can rebalance between equity and cash, making real estate a more dynamic and liquid asset than ever before.
Built for Real-World Impact
The Landshare Tokenization Hub is more than a technical service — it’s a complete ecosystem designed to make real estate investment active, liquid, and accessible.
For property owners, it offers a streamlined way to raise capital and connect with global investors.
For investors, it provides exposure to yield-generating, on-chain assets backed by transparent real-world value.
In an industry crowded with static tokens and overhyped promises, the Tokenization Hub delivers what tokenization was always meant to achieve — real outcomes, real liquidity, and real-world results.

Plume Network's SEC Approval Means RWA Projects Are Closer to the $16T Market
Landshare Team
On October 6, Plume Network announced on its social media that it had been approved to be an SEC-registered transfer agent. This is a big milestone for the RWA industry, signaling that the traditional financial system is welcoming tokenized assets.
Transfer agents basically manage important back-end work and are the official record-keepers for securities issuers. So, essentially, they maintain shareholder registries, record ownership changes, issue certificates, and handle other corporate actions.
Plume’s approval means these critical functions can now be managed on-chain for tokenized securities. This is a pretty big deal, as it gives Plume and its users formal regulatory standing under U.S. law for on-chain securities.
Experts believe that this approval can boost the global RWA market, and top players like Landshare can benefit from it due to the increased regulatory clarity.
Why is the SEC’s Approval Important for Plume Network?
So, first, understand the roles of a registered transfer agent to get a better understanding of its importance.
In traditional finance, a transfer agent is usually a company or bank that tracks who owns a company’s securities and facilitates trades. They ensure every share transfer, stock split, or dividend payment is accurately recorded and reported. Now, let’s understand how this traditional role will work in the world of blockchain.
Post Link
By replicating these roles on-chain, Plume’s platform can securely log every token sale or dividend distribution in an immutable ledger, while also syncing with regulators. As Plume explains, its transfer-agent protocol will “link cap tables and reporting directly to SEC and DTCC systems”.
This means tokenized equity and debt on Plume can behave like traditional securities, but will be managed better with the help of blockchain technology.
Plume’s CEO believes that this regulation “exists to protect investors’ rights as shareholders,” and Plume’s on-chain solution is meant to simplify the processes under that framework.
Its Impact:
Experts believe that the registration will open up several doors for the RWA market because of the ‘trust factor’. Being registered means there are no risks as far as legality is concerned. When an industry or its top player receives a green flag from the government regulatory agencies, institutional capital follows.
BlackRock, Fidelity, JP Morgan, etc., are already looking to build blockchain-based products. This will further invite them to join the RWA growth story and possibly super-boost it.
Moreover, another important benefit is that tokenized securities can now flow through compliance obstacles. This means issuance times can be cut from months to weeks with the help of smart contracts. Similarly, on-chain dividends and ICOs can enjoy the same legal protections as Wall Street offerings.
What Does This Mean For The RWA Market?
Plume’s win comes at a time when analysts are already forecasting a massive growth in tokenized RWAs over the next decade. Institutions now value tokenization as a way to digitize everything from private credit to real estate. Also, the numbers are pretty optimistic as well.
A Boston Consulting Group report estimated the global asset-tokenization market could reach about $16.1 trillion by 2030. The industry has already grown by almost 380% in the past three years. To put things into perspective, today’s entire crypto market cap is smaller than those figures. Even some of the more conservative forecasts still show multi-trillion growth.
If these estimates can materialize in the days to come, RWA is well-positioned to be one of the largest markets in the world of modern finance.
Moreover, the external conditions are favoring this industry. Governments and regulators worldwide are creating proper frameworks. For instance, Asia-Pacific markets are running pilots for digital bonds and crafting standardized rules for security tokens.
These developments and the excitement of retail investors in this category build confidence that the $16T opportunity is actually very real.
How Will Landshare Benefit From This?
Landshare stands at the forefront of benefiting from this opportunity because of its early entry and real-world utility. This is very important as institutions seek new projects that have use cases that can help them capture a considerable market share.
Moreover, Landshare already operates as a compliant RWA platform. For instance, each Landshare RWA Token (LSRWA) is a security token representing fractional shares of a U.S. real estate portfolio, and buyers must pass KYC/AML checks.
The fact that regulators are now approving on-chain transfer agents shows the industry’s efforts are finally paying off. Here are some more factors that can help Landshare be one of the top RWA contenders:
1. Regulatory Credibility: Plume’s SEC status essentially means that tokenized securities can operate within established rules. Landshare’s approach aligns with these principles. So, investors can be assured that their projects sit within a legal framework designed to protect shareholders.
2. Investor Confidence: Every step toward clear regulation lifts confidence. The recently passed GENIUS Act, the SEC’s staff statements on liquid-staking, and the Trump administration’s overall outlook towards the crypto market have been fairly positive.
Similarly, Plume being approved as a SEC-registered blockchain transfer agent tells retail and institutional investors that projects like Landshare aren’t mere experiments. They’re rather a part of a regulated financial evolution.
Moreover, it means regulators see value in on-chain tokens, and that kind of signal helps legitimize the space Landshare operates in.
3. Landshare’s Own Progress: Landshare isn’t about hype. It is rather focused on delivering value from day one. The project has already sold four houses on the BNB chain. It is also providing consistent rental returns to the investors in its properties.
Moreover, the team remains focused on delivering stable, compliant returns from real estate growth.
Conclusion
So, now we know that the recent news was about more than just Plume Network being approved by the SEC to be a transfer agent. It rather has a much bigger impact on the RWA market as a whole.
While the industry continues to grow, for Landshare, it is the right time to innovate further and add more value to consumers’ lives.
