Why ULI’s Selection of Blocksquare Signals a Breakout Moment for RWAs and Why 2026 Is the Year To Launch Your Own Tokenized Real Estate Marketplace
Real world assets are entering a new phase. Tokenization is no longer a niche idea inside crypto circles. It is becoming part of how global real estate thinks about ownership, access, and capital. Blocksquare’s selection for the first cohort of the Urban Land Institute’s new Accelerator is one of the clearest signs yet.
The Urban Land Institute is the oldest and largest real estate network in the world. Its 48,000 plus members shape development, investment, and planning across every major market. When a company is chosen by ULI for an innovation programme, it means the traditional industry sees real potential and real utility.
Blocksquare joining this cohort sends a message. Tokenization is stepping into the mainstream. The infrastructure behind RWAs matters. And the companies building it are being noticed at the highest levels of the industry.
Why this matters for anyone thinking about RWAs in 2026
The next step in the RWA boom is real deployment. Property owners want faster access to capital. Investors want fractional exposure. Developers want more flexible funding paths. Tokenization solves these needs, but only if the underlying systems are trusted and scalable.
This is where Blocksquare stands out. Its infrastructure lets operators launch their own marketplace without building any blockchain tech themselves. Everything needed to tokenize, manage, and trade real estate assets is already handled.
With Blocksquare now part of the ULI Accelerator, that validation becomes even stronger. It shows that the platform is not just technologically sound but aligned with where the real estate world is heading.
How BST helps operators secure long term tech access
BST, Blocksquare’s ecosystem token, plays a practical role for anyone planning to run a marketplace. It is the path to securing a technology license that grants access to the platform’s full suite of tools.
Holding and staking BST enables companies to activate their marketplace license. Think of it as the key that unlocks the entire system. Instead of paying heavy upfront development costs or hiring a blockchain team, operators use BST to secure permanent access to infrastructure that is ready to deploy.
For businesses preparing to enter the RWA space in 2026, this creates a clear advantage. You lock in your tech foundation. You gain long term operational capability. And you align with a platform the traditional real estate sector now recognizes as a leader.
The bottom line
Blocksquare’s selection by ULI Europe is more than an announcement. It is a signal that the tokenization movement has reached a new level of credibility. RWAs are gaining momentum, and real estate is at the front of that wave.
If you plan to operate your own tokenized marketplace in 2026, securing your license through BST gives you a stable, long term foundation. You get the technology, the structure, and the institutional confidence you need to build for the future.
