Tokenized Real Estate Is Breaking Open: How Blocksquare Is Building the Infrastructure the World Needs
Real estate is the largest asset class on the planet. Bigger than stocks. Bigger than crypto. Bigger than the GDP of major nations combined. Everyone experiences it daily, whether as a renter, a homeowner or simply someone walking through a city. Yet almost no one gets to own meaningful pieces of it.
For decades, real estate ownership has been concentrated in the hands of a few. Not because people lack interest, but because the traditional system is built around high entry costs, restrictive legal structures and slow, illiquid markets. This has created a long-standing gap in financial opportunity.
Today, tokenization is changing that. And long before “RWAs” became a trend across crypto, Blocksquare was already building the technology, legal models and infrastructure needed to bring real estate on chain at scale. The result is a system that empowers real estate operators worldwide to tokenize assets, run their own marketplaces and give everyday people access to properties once reserved for a small circle of buyers.
This article breaks down the story, strategy and technology behind Blocksquare. More importantly, it explores why tokenized real estate is about to become one of the biggest opportunities in Web3.
A Founder Story Rooted in Real Experience
The story starts back in 2016, when co-founder and CEO Denis Petrovcic stepped into the blockchain world and began researching where smart contracts could transform everyday industries. Real estate stood out instantly. It was massive, universal, familiar and yet locked behind barriers most people could never pass.
By 2017 and 2018, Denis and his co-founders Viktor Brajak and Peter Merc formalized the project. The team was a strong mix of technology, legal, compliance, real estate know-how and business development. They were not outsiders trying to force blockchain into a random niche. They came from inside the system and understood exactly where things were broken.
The name Blocksquare captured that vision. “Block” for blockchain. “Square” for square meters and square feet, the basic language of real estate. It represented a bridge between the physical and the digital. But the idea was bigger than branding. It was about building infrastructure for real estate tokenization at a global scale, long before most people even knew what tokenization was.
Why Tokenized Real Estate Matters Right Now
Real estate is the largest asset class in the world. Larger than stocks, crypto and even the combined GDP of major nations. Yet most humans cannot access it in any meaningful way.
This is not just an economic issue. Studies show that lack of access to real estate ownership is one of the biggest drivers of inequality. When only a small group of people can own or benefit from real estate, everybody else is stuck renting forever. And if you have ever been on the renting side of the equation, you know how that story goes.
Tokenization shifts that dynamic. It allows people anywhere, from Africa to Latin America to Asia, to invest in real estate that once would have been unreachable. It turns a five-million-dollar building into digital tokens that anyone can buy. It removes geographic barriers. And it makes the entire system more transparent, liquid and inclusive.
For Blocksquare, this is the mission. Use blockchain to unlock an asset class that everyone understands but almost no one can access.
Building a Global Ecosystem Through Local Operators
Real estate is hyper-local. A deal in one neighborhood does not translate to another. A legal structure that works in Germany will not match one in Nigeria. Even within the same country, liquidity levels change from city to city.
This is why Blocksquare built a white-label system. Instead of running a single global marketplace, they empower local companies to launch their own tokenized real estate platforms under their own brands. These partners bring the local knowledge, the deals, the relationships and the regulatory insight. Blocksquare provides the technology, infrastructure and legal models.
Most of the legal framework is globally applicable. Only around 10 to 20 percent needs regional adjustment. This blend allows partners to move fast while staying compliant. It also means that tokenized real estate can grow globally without ignoring cultural or regulatory differences.
This is how you scale real world assets in a world where every jurisdiction is different.
Solving Real Estate’s Biggest Problem: Liquidity
Real estate is known for one major drawback. It is slow to sell. Sometimes painfully slow. Buyers are limited. Timelines are long. And in most regions, liquidity thresholds decide which properties move and which stay stuck.
Denis explained that in Slovenia, for example, properties under 3 million euros are liquid because individual buyers can handle them. Properties above 15 million attract funds. But everything between 3 and 15 million sits in a dead zone with almost no natural buyers. That same dynamic exists globally, just with different numbers.
Tokenization fixes this by opening demand to the entire world. A property no longer depends on a handful of local buyers. Anyone with a wallet and internet access can participate. This changes how assets are valued, how fast they move and who can benefit from them.
But Blocksquare did not stop there. They are building a liquidity layer on top of the protocol through Oceanpoint. The goal is simple. Give investors the ability to instantly buy or sell real estate tokens through defi. Instead of waiting days, they can exit positions instantly. The first audited smart contracts for this are complete, and the team is preparing testnet deployment with plans for rollout in the coming year.
Instant liquidity transforms tokenized real estate from an interesting idea into a powerful financial product.
How the Blocksquare Launchpad and BST Power Affordable Marketplace Creation
One of the most important parts of the AMA was Denis’ explanation of how real estate operators can actually launch their own marketplace. And the most popular method is the Blocksquare Launchpad, which uses BST, the Blocksquare token.
Here is how Denis described it:
“The most popular one is going through the launchpad, where it involves basically raising BST. So BST is Blocksquare tokens and locking them into a marketplace contract. That then unlocks the ability to launch their own marketplace on the infrastructure for essentially a very low cost.”
This means operators do not need huge upfront capital to build their platform. Instead, they raise BST, lock it into the Launchpad contract, and this unlocks marketplace features such as:
• onboarding real estate assets
• issuing tokenized shares
• managing investor activity
• operating under their own brand
• adding more assets over time
The Launchpad model lowers the barrier to entry so smaller real estate businesses can participate, not just large firms. It also aligns each operator with the Blocksquare ecosystem through meaningful BST participation.
This creates a scalable, decentralized network of marketplaces powered by one consistent infrastructure.
What It Takes to Tokenize a Property on Blocksquare
For real estate operators, Blocksquare offers a clear path. The company provides the infrastructure. Operators bring the assets and the market. Setting up a white-label marketplace takes only a few weeks. Costs vary depending on the model, but the most popular option is the Launchpad using BST, because it keeps upfront costs low while unlocking full marketplace capability.
Once the marketplace is active, tokenizing a property is straightforward. The only variable is regulatory approval, which depends on local authorities. In Europe, under MiCA, approval typically takes less than a month. Elsewhere, timelines vary depending on regional regulators.
This approach makes tokenization accessible without compromising compliance.
A Mission Bigger Than Technology
When you listen to Denis talk about real estate, one thing becomes clear. This is not a project built to chase a trend. It is a project built to solve a global problem. Real estate should not be the privilege of the few. It is the foundation of financial stability. It shapes families, cities and entire economies. And yet billions of people will never own a piece of it.
Tokenization changes the math. Real estate that once required millions to access can now be split into digital parts. Fractional ownership is not theoretical anymore. It is happening right now on platforms powered by Blocksquare. And the more partners that join worldwide, the more accessible the market becomes.
This is the kind of progress Web3 was built for. Not memes. Not speculation. Real change that improves real lives.
Why Blocksquare Is Positioned for the Next Wave of RWAs
The timing could not be better. Institutions are watching RWAs. Regulations are evolving. Public interest is rising. And real estate is the most stable, universally understood asset class you could bring on chain.
Blocksquare has been building for years, not months. They have the infrastructure, legal foundation, technology stack, Launchpad, BST utility and global partner network in place. They have a defi liquidity solution on the way. And they have a clear mission that goes beyond profit.
When the next RWA wave hits, Blocksquare will not be scrambling to build. They will already be standing.
Final Thoughts
Tokenized real estate is no longer a future concept. It is here. And Blocksquare is one of the few teams with the experience, structure and long-term thinking needed to drive the movement forward. Their combination of localized partnerships, instant liquidity via defi, global infrastructure, and now an affordable Launchpad powered by BST, makes the project stand out in a crowded market.
For the first time, anyone can join the largest asset class in the world. You do not have to be wealthy. You do not have to live in the right city. You only need a wallet and the willingness to take part in something that is reshaping finance.
The world is changing. Real estate is changing. And Blocksquare is one of the teams leading that shift.
