Flipstone Launches RWA Tokenization Marketplace on Blocksquare, Heads Next to the Oceanpoint Launchpad

That’s why Flipstone’s launch matters.

Flipstone isn’t a crypto startup trying to figure out real estate. It’s a real estate company with years of experience in Portugal, now using blockchain technology to open its projects to a wider, global audience. With its RWA tokenization marketplace launching on Blocksquare and an upcoming campaign on the Oceanpoint RWA Launchpad, Flipstone is showing what tokenization looks like when it starts with solid foundations.

From Buildings First, Tokens Second

Flipstone’s approach is refreshingly straightforward.

Instead of asking, “How do we tokenize real estate?”, the team asked a different question:

As Joao Costa, CEO of Flipstone, explained during Block-Chat #127, the company focuses on turning neglected or abandoned buildings in city centers into high-quality residential homes. These are not speculative land deals or far-off developments. They are real buildings, in real neighborhoods, with real demand.

Lisbon and Porto are at the heart of this strategy. Both cities have seen strong demand from locals, professionals, and international buyers, while new supply remains limited. There simply isn’t much space left in historic city centers, which makes well-located redevelopment projects especially valuable.

Flipstone specializes in exactly that niche.

How Flipstone Finds Opportunities Others Miss

One of the reasons Flipstone has been able to build a steady pipeline of projects is how it finds properties in the first place.

Many of their buildings never appear on public listings. Some have been vacant for decades. Others are stuck in complicated ownership or planning situations that discourage traditional buyers.

Flipstone uses technology to scan cities like Lisbon for underused properties and then applies strict criteria to narrow thousands of possibilities down to just a handful of viable projects. Only the best opportunities move forward.

This discipline matters. It keeps risk under control and allows the team to repeat the process again and again, instead of relying on one-off deals.

Reducing Risk Before Investors Step In

Real estate development always carries risk, but Flipstone makes a point of removing the biggest ones early.

One of the most common problems in development is licensing. Projects look great on paper but get stuck waiting for approvals, sometimes for years. Flipstone avoids this by funding early-stage work internally. External investors only come in once architectural plans are approved and the path forward is clear.

According to Aljaz Primec, this approach protects investors and builds trust. You’re not putting money into a project that might never get permission to move forward. You’re joining when the most uncertain phase is already behind it.

That mindset carries directly into Flipstone’s decision to tokenize.

Why Tokenization Makes Sense Now

A few years ago, it was hard for real estate to compete with crypto yields. DeFi platforms offered double-digit returns with instant liquidity. Compared to that, locking money into property for two or three years didn’t look very exciting.

That environment is gone.

Today, many investors are looking for something different. They still want returns, but they also want stability. They want assets that exist outside the crypto market and aren’t driven purely by speculation.

This is where real estate comes back into focus.

As Blocksquare CEO Denis Petrovcic pointed out during the latest Block-Chat discussion, there is now a large amount of capital on-chain that has very few places to go if it wants real, sustainable yield.

Tokenized real estate, done properly, fills that gap.

What the Blocksquare Marketplace Enables

By launching its marketplace on Blocksquare, Flipstone is using existing, proven infrastructure instead of trying to build everything from scratch.

Blocksquare provides the tools needed to tokenize real estate assets in a compliant and structured way. Flipstone brings the projects, the local expertise, and the execution. Together, they create a marketplace where investors can access real Portuguese real estate through digital tokens.

The goal is not to replace traditional real estate investing. It’s to make it easier to participate.

Tokenization can lower minimum investment sizes, simplify cross-border access, and provide better transparency into how projects are structured. Investors don’t need to manage properties or deal with local bureaucracy. They can gain exposure while Flipstone handles execution on the ground.

Why the Oceanpoint Launchpad Matters

Launching a marketplace is one thing. Launching it with community support is another.

That’s where Oceanpoint comes in.

Oceanpoint is Blocksquare’s launchpad for real-world asset marketplaces. Instead of private negotiations or closed-door decisions, Oceanpoint allows the community to support new marketplaces through staking-based campaigns.

Flipstone’s upcoming campaign on the Oceanpoint Launchpad gives the community a way to signal support for the project. If the campaign succeeds, Flipstone gains access to additional infrastructure and visibility within the Blocksquare ecosystem.

For participants, this isn’t about buying Flipstone assets directly. It’s about backing the marketplace itself and helping decide which real estate operators get onboarded into the ecosystem.

A More Sustainable Way to Grow Tokenized Real Estate

What makes Flipstone’s approach stand out is its pace.

There’s no rush to tokenize everything at once. The team plans to start with a small number of properties, learn from the process, and expand gradually. This keeps quality high and avoids the mistakes that come from trying to scale too quickly.

As Aljaz Primec put it, the goal isn’t to raise massive amounts of capital overnight. It’s to build long-term relationships with investors and the community, and to grow in a way that makes sense operationally.

That mindset aligns closely with Blocksquare’s broader vision for real-world assets on-chain.

Why This Is a Big Step for Tokenization

Flipstone’s launch shows how far the space has come.

This is no longer about experimenting with tokens. It’s about using blockchain technology as infrastructure for businesses that already work in the real world.

Real buildings. Real teams. Real demand. Tokenization becomes a tool, not the story.

As more operators like Flipstone enter the space, the focus shifts away from hype and toward execution. And that’s exactly what needs to happen for real estate tokenization to reach its next phase.

Final Thoughts

Flipstone’s marketplace launch on Blocksquare, followed by its Oceanpoint Launchpad campaign, is a clear signal that real estate tokenization is growing up.

It’s becoming more practical, more grounded, and more useful.

For investors, it offers a new way to access real assets without the traditional barriers. For the Web3 ecosystem, it brings real economic activity on-chain. And for the real estate industry, it opens the door to a broader, global investor base.

Not by changing what real estate is — but by changing how people can take part in it.
