Further, the marketplace will be based on blockchain technology for increased efficiency and transparency. The marketplace will initially launch on Ethereum and will be licensed in the eurozone. Technical work has been ongoing for more than one year now and launch is expected before summer 2023. Launch in the US is expected later in 2023 or the following year.

 

Real estate developers and asset owners will be able to list their assets for to achieve liquidity for their investors. Global real estate is a massive asset class with $226T of AUM. However, very few percent of global real estate are traded and available to retail investors. RE.X wants to change this.

In short, we want to benefit from our own product and the blockchain ecosystem, which are leading to democratization, liquidity optionality and frictionless payments.”
