As the world continues to transition into the digital age, financial institutions are seeking new ways to transform legacy infrastructure into modern, global, and digitally native systems. One of the most promising developments on this front is the use of tokenization.
Tokenization involves the representation of traditional assets such as real estate, art, and stocks as digital tokens on a blockchain network. Tokenization can bring about several benefits, including increased liquidity, fractional ownership, and increased accessibility to investors. It breaks down geographic barriers presented by existing financial systems and enables seamless global exchange of assets.
As time goes on, more and more banks, financial institutions, and even governments are exploring tokenization as a solution to real world problems. In this article, we will highlight seven major institutions who have embraced this emerging technology.
JP Morgan is one of the largest financial institutions in the world with a market cap of over $398 billion. The bank has been actively exploring the use of blockchain technology for several years, and has developed its own blockchain network, Quorum.
JPMorgan called tokenization a “Killer App” for TradFi, and have launched a division dedicated to enabling institutional investment in tokenized assets. JPMorgan went on to collaborate with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to launch a new pilot program, Project Guardian, to explore the exchange of tokenized assets on a public blockchain.
State Street is a leading financial services company that manages over $40 trillion in assets. State Street has been actively investing in blockchain technology and digital assets, and has launched several blockchain-based initiatives, including a platform for trading bonds using blockchain technology.
State Street has also established State Street Digital, a platform dedicated to the development of blockchain-based solutions. The platform provides institutional clients with tools for managing and trading digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and other tokenized assets. This demonstrates State Street’s commitment to exploring the potential of tokenization for enhancing financial transactions and their drive for innovation in the field.
Deutsche Bank is a German-based investment bank with a market cap of over $20 billion. In 2020, Deutsche Bank began exploring asset tokenization, conducting a successful pilot project for the tokenization of €4 million ($4.9 million) worth of bonds.
Deutsche Bank doubled down in February 2023 by completing the proof-of-concept phase for Project DAMA, a platform designed to facilitate investment in tokenized securities.
BNY Mellon is a US-based investment bank with a market cap of over $46 billion. In 2020, BNY Mellon conducted a successful pilot project for the tokenization of a $25 million private equity fund. The project involved the use of blockchain technology to create digital tokens that represent ownership in the private equity fund.
In a 2022 survey of its clients, BNY Mellon found that a whopping 91% of large institutional asset managers, asset owners and hedge funds were interested in investing in some type of tokenized asset within the next few years. This demand led the BNY Mellon to become the first to launch a series of institutional-focused crypto services.
Goldman Sachs is one of the most well-known investment banks globally, with a market capitalization of over $130 billion. The company has always been at the forefront of innovation, and this is no different when it comes to blockchain technology and digital assets.
Goldman Sachs has launched several initiatives to provide enterprise level investors with access to tokenized investment opportunities, including utilizing the technology to improve liquidity in illiquid markets. As a key player in the financial industry, Goldman Sach’s commitment to tokenization is likely to drive further adoption of tokenized securities by institutional-level investors.
PayPal is a US-based payment processing company with a market cap of over $300 billion. The company has been actively exploring blockchain technology and its potential applications such as asset tokenization. In 2020, PayPal was granted a patent for a blockchain-based platform that allows for the tokenization of virtual assets.
The platform designed by PayPal is intended to facilitate the trading of virtual assets, including video game items, digital art, and loyalty points. These virtual assets are often stored in centralized databases and are difficult to transfer or trade. The tokenization of these assets on a blockchain-based platform would enable users to trade them with ease, potentially creating new markets for these assets.
Fidelity Investments is a leading financial services company with over $4.5 trillion in assets under management. The company has been actively exploring the use of blockchain technology and has been involved in several tokenization projects, including tokenized real estate, securities, and other real-world assets. Through tokenization, Fidelity aims to increase liquidity, reduce transaction costs, and create new investment opportunities for its clients.
In addition to its tokenization initiatives, Fidelity has launched a blockchain-based platform, Fidelity Digital Assets, which allows for the storage and trading of cryptocurrencies. The platform was created to meet the growing demand for institutional-grade cryptocurrency custody and trading services. With its significant investments and initiatives in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space already made, Fidelity is likely to expand its efforts in the growing trend of tokenization going forward.
While these major institutions have varying degrees of involvement in tokenization, it is clear that they have recognized the potential benefits. As blockchain technology continues to mature and regulatory frameworks become clearer, it is likely that more institutions will follow suit and embrace tokenization as a way to streamline their operations and provide greater value to their customers.
Tokenization has the potential to transform the way that traditional financial institutions operate. By allowing assets to be digitized and traded on a blockchain network, tokenization can provide greater liquidity, transparency, and efficiency to the financial system. While tokenization is still in its early stages, these 7 major institutions have taken the first steps towards embracing tokenization and creating a clearer path for investors to access this emerging technology.

In 2025, the landscape of property investment in the U.S. is being reshaped—not just by shifting market trends, but by a powerful technological revolution: tokenized real estate.
While Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have long served as a gateway for fractional property ownership, a new wave of blockchain property investment platforms is offering something REITs never could—global access, 24/7 liquidity, and full transparency. This is the age of tokenisation, and platforms like Landshare are leading the way.
REITs have traditionally allowed investors to gain exposure to real estate without directly owning physical property. They're regulated investment vehicles that pool money to purchase or manage income-producing real estate.
Benefits of REITs:
However, REITs come with limitations:
Enter tokenized real estate—a model that leverages blockchain technology to digitally represent ownership in real-world properties through tokens. Unlike REITs, where investors buy into a fund, tokenization allows direct, transparent, and programmable ownership in individual assets.
✅ 24/7 Liquidity – Trade property tokens any time on decentralized exchanges
✅ Fractional Ownership – Invest with as little as $1
✅ Smart Contract Automation – Dividends, ownership transfers, and reporting managed on-chain
✅ Global Participation – Anyone with an internet connection can invest in U.S. real estate
One of the most significant advantages of tokenized real estate in 2025 is the global democratization of U.S. real estate markets. With regulatory frameworks maturing and platforms like Landshare providing fully-compliant solutions, international investors are able to access U.S. property markets without intermediaries.
This opens the door for:
At the forefront of this transformation is Landshare—a blockchain platform that offers tokenized access to real, income-producing U.S. properties. Unlike traditional REITs, Landshare enables users to stake, trade, and earn passive income through its ecosystem.
What makes Landshare stand out?
Landshare empowers users to move beyond REITs and into a more flexible, modern, and profitable model of real estate investing.
As the real estate industry embraces blockchain technology, tokenized real estate is poised to become a cornerstone of any forward-thinking investment portfolio.
With the benefits of liquidity, transparency, and accessibility, it's clear that tokenized property investment is not just an alternative to REITs—but an upgrade.
By 2025, as more investors demand control, speed, and lower costs, tokenisation will become the standard—not the exception.
The shift from traditional REITs to tokenized real estate marks a pivotal moment in property investment. Platforms like Landshare are making it possible to invest in U.S. real estate smarter, faster, and globally.
Whether you're a seasoned investor or just entering the Web3 space, it's time to ask:
Why settle for outdated REITs when tokenization offers so much more?

With Bitcoin dropping by more than 12% in the past seven days and Ethereum by 24% in the past month, investors are seeking alternatives in these unstable market conditions. To diversify their portfolios with less volatile bets, global investors are targeting the $337T real estate market.
The real estate market is known for its entry barriers due to the heavy capital investment required. However, several US-based crypto projects are changing this through real estate tokenization.
One project leading this revolution is Landshare. So, let’s see what’s driving this change and why tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are seen as the next big thing in the investment circuit right now.
Traditional real estate investing has mostly been a playground for the ultra-wealthy and institutional players. A single property often requires six-figure minimums, while cross-border deals involve high legal complexity.
RWA tokens change the game. By fractionalizing property ownership, blockchain helps investors buy shares for as little as $1. This shift mirrors the stock market’s evolution from exclusive trading floors to smartphone apps. But, of course, decentralization plays a huge role here.
Moreover, regulatory clarity under frameworks and the SEC’s maturing stance on security tokens provide a stable foundation. Meanwhile, institutional giants like JPMorgan and BlackRock have begun experimenting with tokenized assets. This too brings in confidence in the model for retail investors.
While global platforms have made healthy progress in their tokenization efforts, American crypto projects like Landshare hold distinct advantages:
Institutional Trust: U.S. legal structures attract risk-averse capital.
Tech Infrastructure: Strong DeFi platforms (e.g., Chainlink, Aave) allow for smooth asset management.
Liquidity: Selling real estate in the US can be challenging because of the legal complexity. However, trading RWA tokens is quite simple and provides almost instant liquidity to the investors.
Real Utility Over Hype: Investors actively seek value-adding projects rather than hype machines. Landshare, with its tokenization utility, is a strong contender for long-term gains in this digital economy. Unlike speculative RWA projects, Landshare’s security tokens represent legal stakes in U.S. properties. Investors also earn passive income from rent.
Scarcity & Burns: With 5.34 million tokens (all circulating) and a burn mechanism on every RWA purchase, LAND is inherently deflationary in nature. In contrast, many competitors have no supply cap or burning mechanisms.
Real Properties Tokenized: Landshare has already sold 4 U.S. homes via BNB Smart Chain, with deeds tied to RWA Tokens. This shows its focus on actually profiting from real estate deals, unlike competitors relying primarily on hype for price growth.
Revenue Model: Rental income and appreciation distributed to investors; with annual returns exceeding 8.7%.
BNB Chain Advantage: Ethereum’s gas fees make micro-investments impractical. Landshare’s BNB Chain base allows for fractional ownership and targets retail demand.
Undervalued Entry: At a $3.11 Million market cap, Landshare offers higher growth chances than other overvalued RWA competitors despite similar revenue streams.
SAFU Investment: Structured under U.S. regulatory guidelines, Landshare has given special importance to compliance and security.
Moreover, LAND has delivered consistent ROI through property appreciation and rental distributions. This undervalued status highlights a perfect opportunity for investors looking for projects with high potential.
So, the road ahead is clear: tokenization will absorb a growing share of the $337T real estate market. For investors, these benefits offer balance and profitability:
Diversification: Allocate fractions of capital across global markets.
Liquidity: Trade property shares 24/7 on secondary markets.
Transparency: Blockchain’s immutable ledger reduces fraud risk.
For U.S. projects, the challenge lies in scaling while maintaining compliance. This gap too has been filled by Landshare. With plans to expand its property portfolio, this RWA token allows users to invest in the real estate industry at low costs and earn high long-term gains.

At Landshare, we aim to make real estate investment accessible to everyone. By tokenizing real estate assets, we allow users to invest in prime properties worldwide without the massive upfront cost.
We’ve brought out our latest update: the Loan Protocol. Through this, token holders can access liquidity without selling their assets by using Landshare Tokens (LAND) or Real World Asset Tokens (LSRWA) as collateral.
This creates a mutually beneficial scenario for both borrowers and lenders. Borrowers gain the cash flow they need, while lenders earn consistent returns through interest. How does this work? Let’s discuss
If you’re holding LAND or LSRWA tokens, why let them sit idle when you can borrow USDC and put your assets to work?
With the Landshare Loan Protocol, you don’t need to sell your valuable tokens to access liquidity. Instead, you can use them as collateral and get the funds you need while retaining ownership of your assets. Whether you want to cover personal expenses, make new investments, or take advantage of other opportunities by borrowing USDC through Landshare, you can maximize tokens' potential without parting with them.
As a lender, the protocol helps you earn 10% APY by contributing USDC.
The Landshare Loan Protocol has two distinct pools: one for LSRWA tokens and another for LAND tokens. Each of these pools has a set maturity date, the deadline by which loans must be repaid. If the loan isn’t repaid by this date, the collateral used by the borrower will be liquidated, meaning it will be sold to recover the loan amount.
The completion percentage displayed for each pool shows how much time has passed in the loan term. For example, if the completion percentage is 50%, half the term is completed, and the same amount of time remains before the maturity date.
Once the loan term ends and the maturity date is reached, lenders will get their USDC back along with the interest earned during the loan period. This interest comes from the borrower’s repayment and is set at 10% APY. This means borrowers pay 10% in interest, and lenders earn 10% on their funds. As a lender, your USDC is secured by the collateral the borrower has provided—either LAND or LSRWA tokens. This makes the system secure for lenders since their funds are protected.
The protocol uses over-collateralization to reduce the risk for lenders. This means that borrowers must provide more collateral than the value of the loan they’re taking.
For example, in the LSRWA pool, a borrower can only withdraw up to 50% of the value of their collateral. So if someone deposits $100 worth of LSRWA, they can only borrow 50 USDC. This extra collateral helps to protect lenders because the loan is backed by more than the borrowed amount, lowering the chances of a loss in case the borrower defaults.
If a loan is not repaid by the maturity date, the collateral (either LSRWA or LAND) will be sold to pay back the loan amount, including any interest. A 10% liquidation fee is also levied.
After the liquidation, if there is any remaining balance from the sale of the collateral, the borrower can claim it. This process ensures that lenders are compensated even if a borrower fails to repay the loan.
The process of borrowing USDC by pawning your LSRWA and LAND tokens is straightforward. Let’s walk through it:
You can lend your stablecoins through this protocol and earn 10% APY. The process is simple. Let’s look at it:
We’re rolling out a new borrowing strategy that unlocks triple the earning potential for our users. You’ll be able to borrow against staked LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens, allowing you to stack rewards from three sources at once:
But wait, there’s more! 👀
If you buy $LSRWA via the DS Dashboard, you’ll earn NFT Credits. These credits can be used to mint NFTs and unlock even more rewards, taking your real estate investing to the next level with a touch of DeFi magic!
How the new borrowing strategy will work:
1. Create LP Tokens: Pair USDT and LSRWA on DS Swap to generate LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens.
2. Wrap and Stake: Deposit LP Tokens into a wrapped contract to keep earning LAND yields.
3. Borrow USDC: Use your wrapped LP Tokens as collateral and unlock USDC via our Loan Protocol.
💡 Why is this exciting? This strategy supercharges your capital efficiency, letting you grow your portfolio without missing out on staking rewards or token gains.
Borrowing through the Landshare Loan Protocol offers more than just quick access to cash—it’s an opportunity to make your tokenized assets work for you. You don’t have to choose between selling your tokens and staying liquid.
With a fixed maturity date and competitive interest rates, this system allows you to borrow responsibly while keeping your tokens safe.
Take advantage of the liquidity your assets can provide through the Landshare Loan Protocol.
