Real Estate Security Tokens are digital securities that are issued and managed using blockchain technology, with real estate or related rights as the underlying assets. Blockchain technology is expected to further improve convenience and reduce costs through the reduction of transaction management costs for securities, efficiency of fund settlement, the provision of new experimental value through digitization of investor benefits, and the development of a secondary market through linkage with a digital stock exchange.
This is expected to promote the expansion of the range of participants in real estate investment, as well as new ways to utilize opportunities, such as the diversification of real estate for investment.
