About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will discuss creating a tokenized real estate offering and the risks and benefits for issuers and investors to consider in connection with a real estate token offering, its administration, and subsequent transfers.
Description
The adoption of cryptocurrencies and the emergence of blockchain platforms have made real estate tokenization a potential capital-raising option. With tokenization, ownership interests in real estate assets can be more immediately bought and sold. Tokenization requires a thorough understanding of the technology, the offering process, and the regulatory issues involved.
Investors typically invest in real estate through an LLC or limited partnership that owns an underlying property. With tokenization, LLC or LP interests are tokens that can be traded or used as collateral in smart contracts. The issuer must determine the number and type of tokens and select an exchange platform for trading.
Offering documents may include operating agreements, subscription agreements, and a private placement memorandum. Offerings must also comply with know your customer (KYC) requirements and appropriately protect user data.
Tokens should have built-in compliance features such as transfer restrictions and secondary trading. Issuers must also determine how distributable cash will be paid (perhaps using stablecoins or other digital currency).
Listen as our authoritative panel discusses these and other matters associated with commercial real estate tokenization.
