Blockchain technology has innovated real estate investments, enabling cross-border property investing, making real estate more accessible than ever before. Platforms like Oceanpoint.fi have emerged as key players in this transformation, enabling investors to participate in diverse opportunities.

Cross-border real estate investments, powered by blockchain technology, tap into markets making it possible for anyone to build a global real estate portfolio—all from the comfort of their home.

Oceanpoint DAO

Oceanpoint is Blocksquares open-end DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation) designed to create more liquidity for real estate owners and investors. Participants can invest in Blocksquare's utility token $BST and stake them for governance rights and rewards, support new tokenized marketplace operators on the RWA launchpad, provide liquidity for Uniswap's ETH:BST pool or use $DAI to trade tokenized real estate on Oceanpoint's secondary market. As a liquidity platform for the real estate industry with integrated tokenomics, Oceanpoint has the potential to boost tokenized real estate investments for higher returns by staking property tokens (BSPT) in its community asset staking pool.

Oceanpoint seamlessly integrates the stable passive income generated from real estate with the powerful DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystem. This combination offers users the best of both worlds, providing flexibility and choice in managing their property investments.

These DeFi benefits are also available for property tokens purchased on other marketplaces within the Blocksquare infrastructure. For example, marketplace operator Cryptosnacks agreed on letting their BSPT token buyers stake on Oceanpoint in their own community asset pool.

Oceanpoint's new RWA Launchpad

Early stage Marketplace Operators can now engage Blocksquare's DAO community for early stage funding.

The latest project successfully funded and set to launch their marketplace, is Pieme.

The BST community pledged $sBST and is now earning BST rewards for supporting Pieme's venture, based on their KPI's and milestone achievements.

The Global Real Estate Market

The global property market is valued at approximately $280 trillion as of 2024. This figure encompasses all forms of real estate, including residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Regarding Blocksquare's contribution to the tokenized real estate market, the protocol has successfully tokenized $125.8 million worth of real estate assets, which includes 135 properties across 22 countries. This is a small yet significant part of the growing trend of real estate tokenization.

Real estate stands as the world’s largest store of wealth, outstripping the combined value of global equities and debt securities and dwarfing global GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which was approximately $105 trillion in 2023. The tokenization model is revolutionizing the industry by converting traditionally illiquid properties into liquid assets, thereby enhancing liquidity and broadening access to real estate investments worldwide.

The real estate tokenization market is poised for explosive growth, projected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2026, fueled by advancements in the "PropTech" sector, which is expected to expand from $33.57 billion in 2023 to $89.93 billion by 2032. (Source: MarketsandMarkets).

Globally, the real estate market has sustained its momentum, with property values rising in many regions. Tokenized real estate investments continue to present unique opportunities for diversification and growth.

By addressing the regulatory, technological, and economic challenges through open community discussions, the vision of a borderless real estate market can move closer to reality, offering significant benefits to investors, developers, and communities alike.
