It’s no secret that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile. While its potential upside is unmatched, it also frequently experiences sharp price corrections and enters prolonged bear markets. When this happens, investors need a place to protect their funds from losses — often referred to as safe havens.
A safe haven is a type of investment that is expected to retain or increase in value during times of market turbulence. Investors move funds into safe havens to mitigate their risk of losses during market downturns. In the crypto space, these types of investments can be difficult to find — especially if the investor is also expecting a consistent return.
Real estate-backed tokens offer the ability to invest in real estate directly on-chain. They are not affected by cryptocurrency bear markets because their value is derived from real world assets. By moving trading profits and idle funds into real estate-backed tokens, investors can protect their funds from volatility while also earning regular cash flows.
Real estate-backed tokens, or Asset Tokens, are cryptocurrencies that represent the ownership of real-world assets. To put it simply, the value of an Asset Token is based directly on the value of the asset it represents. All of this is made possible by a process called Tokenization.
Tokenization splits the ownership of a real estate asset into smaller parts represented by tokens. Each individual holder of the tokens is a co-owner of the asset and receives a share of the profits it generates. Asset Tokens tokens can be bought, sold, or traded just like any other token on the blockchain.
For a more detailed description of Asset Tokens and the process of Tokenization, check out Landshare’s Tokenized Asset Overview video.
Traditionally, crypto traders move their funds to stablecoins such as USDT, BUSD, and USDC to take profits or protect themselves from market downturns. Because the value of a stablecoin is always at or near $1 USD, they allow traders to keep their funds on-chain while protecting themselves from volatility and price fluctuations. While stablecoins offer great utility in this regard, real estate-backed tokens offer several unique advantages as a safe haven for crypto traders.
Tether’s USDT is the most popular stablecoin in the market today. There is a widespread assumption that Tether holds enough USD to back up the whopping 69,000,000,000+ circulating supply of USDT. However, at this point it is not clear how many USDT tokens are backed by actual USD. According to a recent Bloomberg article:
“Exactly how Tether is backed, or if it’s truly backed at all, has always been a mystery. For years a persistent group of critics has argued that, despite the company’s assurances, Tether Holdings doesn’t have enough assets to maintain the 1-to-1 exchange rate, meaning its coin is essentially a fraud.”
On October 15, 2021, the CFTC ordered Tether to pay a $41 million dollar fine for issuing unbacked USDT tokens. According to the release:
“The Tether order finds that since its launch in 2014, Tether has represented that the tether token is a stablecoin with its value pegged to fiat currency and 100% backed by corresponding fiat assets, including U.S. dollars and euros. However, the Tether order finds that from at least June 1, 2016 to February 25, 2019, Tether misrepresented to customers and the market that Tether maintained sufficient U.S. dollar reserves to back every USDT in circulation with the “equivalent amount of corresponding fiat currency” held by Tether and “safely deposited” in Tether’s bank accounts. In fact Tether reserves were not “fully-backed” the majority of the time.”
The concerns over Tether’s operations should be taken seriously if cryptocurrency is to be adopted by the mainstream public. Without being collateralized 1:1 USD, a “run-on-the-bank” situation, or even regulatory actions, could leave hundreds of millions of users with valueless USDT that can no longer be redeemed for $1 USD.
By contrast, Asset Tokens are fixed supply tokens transparently backed by real world assets. Because token holders are shareholders of the asset itself, they have a direct legal claim to their share of the asset’s value.
While stablecoins offer protections against market downturns, they do not intrinsically offer any yields or returns to investors, nor can they appreciate in value. In fact, due to inflation rates reaching 30-year highs, holding stablecoins can mean a loss of buying power over time.
Asset Tokens offer similar protections from the volatility of cryptocurrency while also offering annual cash yields and value appreciation averaging between 6–8% and 5–10% respectively, for total annual returns up to 18%. While the value of the US dollar shrinks, US home prices are projected to increase by 13.6% over the next year.
Traders may choose to stake stablecoins on loan or yield farming platforms such as Venus or Beefy Finance. These platforms offer a great way to earn some extra income while holding USD and greatly outperform the rates offered by banks.
Unfortunately, these platforms come with their own risks that can still result in traders losing their investment. Due to the open nature of DeFi, many protocols have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers, and these attacks are not uncommon. $119 million was recently stolen from BadgerDAO by hackers, Cream Finance was exploited for over $100 million, and Poly Network was exploited for $600 million. According to Cipher Trace, over $10 Billion was stolen in DeFi related theft this year.
In addition to DeFi risks, investors are vulnerable to the loss or theft of wallet private keys and exchange hacks, meaning funds can be lost even by holding. If these events occur, there is typically no way to retrieve lost funds.
Tokenized Real Estate offers additional security measures that traditional protocols cannot. While traditional tokens can be lost due to DeFi exploits or wallet hacks, Asset Tokens are immune to this because they are owned by the investor, not a wallet. If an investor’s wallet suffers an attack or is compromised, the stolen tokens can be administratively reissued to a secured wallet.
Tokenized Assets offer a great way to hold your profits in a secure and traditionally stable manner without the risks of being run on, being hacked, or sitting on depreciating assets. While your first thought for a safe haven may be holding stablecoins, it may be time to consider real estate-backed tokens as an alternative.
Landshare offers fractional real estate investment on the blockchain, enabling hassle-free investment for as little as $50. You can find out more about the Landshare platform at https://landshare.io and view our current offering at https://app.landshare.io/property-details.

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 Land 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.
Landshare Team
Hello Landshare community!
As we move into yet another new year, we’d like to express our gratitude for each and every LAND holder, LSRWA investor, and community member who has shared their time and energy with us. 2024 was marked with several major milestones, and you can check out our annual recap here.
With last year officially behind us, it’s time to put out the team’s vision for the next 12 months of Landshare. In this roadmap, we will cover the specific deliverables you can expect to see this year, the ongoing developments that will occur throughout the year, and the core priorities that drive our decision-making process.
Without further ado, let’s dive in!
Landshare has grown into something far greater than what we initially envisioned. What started as a concept for tokenized real estate has blossomed into a robust ecosystem featuring tools and features like staking, NFTs, liquidity pools, a loan protocol, and a secondary market.
In 2025, our focus shifts to unlocking the full potential of these offerings. This year will be about refinement, outreach, and adoption. We’ll prioritize showcasing our features to a broader audience through compelling content, strategic partnerships, offline events, and expanded advertising efforts.
Our goal is simple: to make Landshare a recognized leader in tokenization and to bring the benefits of our ecosystem to the masses. Your support continues to fuel this journey, and together, we can achieve even greater milestones.
For those short on time, we’ve summarized the roadmap here, starting with our Core Priorities followed by the specific features and developments you can expect throughout the year.
In addition to the key deliverables, here are the continuous efforts we’ll focus on throughout 2025:
Now that you know what to expect this year, let’s dive a little bit deeper into the new features and changes coming to Landshare in 2025.
We recognize that there are different types of users in the Web3 world — some are highly sophisticated, constantly seeking new ways to squeeze out additional yields. Others are passive, laid-back participants with less experience on the blockchain. Our vision is an ecosystem that accommodates both types of investors. For this reason, in line with our goal to make Landshare more accessible, we’re introducing LSRWA Express.
With LSRWA Express, qualified investors can earn real returns from real assets by simply depositing stablecoins in the Landshare platform. Behind the scenes, the stablecoins are used to purchase, hold, and redeem LSRWA Tokens, much like the capabilities our users already enjoy. On the front end, investors will enjoy a seamless investment where their gains are expressed in terms of USD. Here’s how it works:
With LSRWA Express, you can earn stablecoin yield without having to navigate the complexities of the ecosystem. Meanwhile, our existing users can continue to benefit from the robust feature set that Landshare has to offer.
In 2024, we launched our Loan Protocol, introducing the ability to borrow USDC against LAND or LSRWA Tokens. In 2025 we’re taking the next step and allowing users to borrow against staked LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens. With this capability, you’ll be able to earn yield from three different sources at once: LSRWA appreciation, LSRWA-USDT LP staking rewards, and gains from borrowed USDC.
Here’s how it works:
As highlighted earlier, one of our primary focuses for 2025 is bringing Landshare’s innovative features to a wider audience. Unlocking the full potential of our ecosystem requires not only building great products but also effectively communicating their value. To achieve this, we have developed a two-pronged marketing strategy targeting both traditional property owners and the crypto community.
🏢 B2B Marketing
Our business-to-business (B2B) efforts are designed to increase awareness of tokenization in traditional sectors and attract property owners to the Landshare ecosystem. Key strategies include:
👥 B2C Marketing
Our business-to-consumer (B2C) strategies aim to unlock the potential of the Landshare ecosystem within the crypto community. These efforts include:
With this multi-faceted approach, we aim to bridge the gap between traditional property owners and the blockchain space while expanding our footprint in the crypto community. 2025 will be a year of bold outreach, creative campaigns, and consistent effort to bring our product to the masses.
Landshare’s Tokenization Hub represents a groundbreaking step forward in making real estate tokenization more accessible to property owners and investors alike. Designed as a comprehensive on-chain solution, it simplifies the process of bringing new properties into the Landshare ecosystem, offering property owners tools and templates to tokenize their assets seamlessly. If you’re unfamiliar with the Tokenization Hub, check out our feature preview here.
The Tokenization Hub will provide solutions for property owners, adding a new audience to the ecosystem. But what benefits can our existing users expect? In addition to new single-family rentals via our Roofstock + Forumpay collaboration, we’re opening the door to properties like Airbnbs, short-term rentals, and multi-unit complexes and improving the efficiency of our property pipeline. In doing so, we aim to grow and diversify our property selection to cater to different investor preferences.
This expanded property portfolio not only benefits investors but also strengthens the overall ecosystem. More properties mean more transaction activity, increased token utility, and greater exposure for Landshare as a pioneer in real estate tokenization.
Since the inception of Landshare, we’ve sought to make real estate a truly liquid asset. In 2024, we successfully listed LSRWA Token on DS Swap and created a LSRWA-USDT LP Staking pool, enabling LSRWA holders to trade their tokens anytime. As a result of these efforts, we are proud to say that LSRWA is among the first security tokens with a secondary market, allowing investors to trade their RWA-backed tokens 24/7/365. Recently, our DS Swap pool hit the $350k mark, a testament to the support of our community and liquidity providers.
Despite these successes, we feel there is still room for improvment with regard to LSRWA liquidity — particularly for larger holders. In 2025, we’ll be implementing the following liquidity solutions:
The NFT ecosystem has been a core pillar of Landshare, driving users toward RWA adoption for over 2 years. In 2025, we’ll be giving the NFT ecosystem a refresh designed to improve user experience and functionality. Some of the updates you can expect include:
Landshare’s foundation is stronger than ever, built on years of hard work, innovation, and the unwavering support of our community. Thank you for believing in Landshare and for being an integral part of this journey. Your feedback, enthusiasm, and commitment inspire us to push boundaries and aim higher every single day.
Stay tuned for the exciting developments ahead, and let’s continue building something extraordinary together!

Trump has won US elections, and with his second term comes a golden age for crypto, with positive regulations and unlimited opportunities. Bitcoin has already touched $91K in jubilation, with a brand new bull run already on the road. Altcoins are not behind either; in fact, CoinGecko’s 2024 Q3 crypto industry report highlighted RWA, memecoins, and more as the most popular crypto narratives!
RWA or real estate tokenization has had a good run in 2024, setting the sector up as one to see tremendous growth in this decade. A recent Tren Finance research report even predicts a 50x growth for RWA tokenization by 2030.
Out of the most popular RWAs to be tokenized this far, real estate is up there. A traditionally illiquid market now turned liquid by RWA tokenization, real estate tokenization is quickly gaining traction.
RWA tokenization refers to the process of converting ownership over real-world assets (RWAs) like real estate, art, commodities, or financial instruments like bonds or equities into digital tokens on a blockchain. One asset can be turned into one or a series of blockchain-based tokens, so an asset can essentially be purchased by multiple investors. This makes certain markets previously only accessible to HNIs and enterprises more accessible and liquid, lowering entry barriers for novice investors.
Each RWA token can represent complete or fractional ownership of an underlying asset, allowing it to be traded, transferred, or held digitally.
Multiple perks to RWA tokenization make the sector so popular to RWA owners and crypto investors alike. Some of them are:
What’s more, the use cases of RWA tokenization are vast. You can choose to tokenize everything from real estate to debt instruments to art/collectibles to commodities, making RWA a cornerstone of the DeFi movement.
As Tren Finance’s October 2024 report stated, predictions from some of the largest financial institutions and business consulting firms suggest a 50x growth for RWA by 2030.
Further forecasts say that the RWA sector could reach a market size between $4 trillion and $30 trillion, as you can see in the image below.
If the sector reaches even $10 trillion by 2030, that would be a 54-times growth from its current value of $187 billion.
As Tren Finance further captured in the report, the global RWA market stands at $867 trillion, only a small portion of which currently exists on-chain:
As the RWA tokenization sector matures, it is expected to capture more of this untapped market.
What else does the Tren Finance report note? Here’s a quick summary:
As blockchain continues integrating with TradFi, the financial markets are going through a revolution. Big players like BlackRock and Tether are expanding into RWA tokenization; the sector most definitely has the potential to completely change how people invest/trade and own assets.
Out of all the different RWA being tokenized, real estate tokenization has probably caught on the fastest. Why is that? Here’s what Landshare thinks:
Overall, real estate’s vast, underutilized potential combined with blockchain’s efficiency creates a perfect use case, naturally making it a frontrunner in the RWA tokenization space.
Landshare is a U.S.-based platform dedicated to the tokenization of real estate properties. It enables investors to acquire fractional shares in residential properties using blockchain technology, streamlining the investment process and broadening the scope of who can invest in real estate. By integrating blockchain technology into the real estate market, Landshare offers tokenized property assets on its platform, making it possible for investments to start at just $50, thus democratizing the entry into property investment.
The platform employs Real World Asset (LSRWA) tokens, granting investors partial ownership in tangible property assets and marking a notable innovation in real estate investment. Landshare's utility token, LAND, has proven its transactional effectiveness by facilitating the sale of four tokenized properties on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), demonstrating its market readiness. Addressing the traditional inefficiencies and liquidity issues in real estate, Landshare positions itself as a critical player, offering promising prospects for growth and passive income generation.
