Real Estate Tokenization: How Fractional Ownership Is Democratizing Property Investment

NDN Analytics TeamApril 7, 2026

Real estate has always been the ultimate illiquid asset. Minimum investments of $50,000+, long holding periods, and complex paperwork have kept most investors out of commercial property markets.


The Tokenization Revolution


Real estate tokenization divides property ownership into digital tokens on blockchain. Each token represents a fraction of the underlying asset and its income stream.
