Real Estate Tokenization Explained: How Blockchain is Changing Property Investment in Toronto

Introduction

Toronto's real estate market is competitive and capital-intensive. Tokenization changes access by converting property rights into digital tokens on a blockchain.

What is Real Estate Tokenization?

Tokenization is the process of representing ownership or income rights of a property as digital tokens. Each token corresponds to a fractional share, enabling smaller tickets and broader participation.

How It Works

• Property selection and due diligence
• Legal structuring via an SPV or trust
• Token issuance (e.g., ERC‑20 / ERC‑1400) with built-in compliance
• KYC/AML investor onboarding
• Primary distribution and secondary trading on regulated venues

Benefits

• Fractional ownership lowers minimums
• Potential liquidity through secondary markets
• Global investor reach
• Immutable transparency
• Automated payouts and governance via smart contracts

Risks & Considerations

• Securities-law compliance requirements
• Market and valuation volatility
• Developing secondary market depth
• Operational and technology risk

Why Toronto

Strong fundamentals—population growth, rental demand, and legal stability—make Toronto an ideal market to pilot tokenized properties for global investors.
