The market for Real-World Assets (RWAs) has seen explosive growth in 2025, with its total on-chain capitalization surging by over 130% to $35 billion since January. As this sector matures, the variety of assets moving onto the blockchain is expanding beyond treasury bills and private credit to include new frontiers like equities and property.

Tokenized real estate, though still in its early stages, is a particularly promising area. In a significant move to accelerate its development, the Stellar Foundation is partnering with RedSwan Digital Real Estate to bring $100 million in commercial assets onto the Stellar Network.

A New Approach to Property Investment

RedSwan operates as a digital real estate broker, helping buyers and sellers tokenize commercial real estate (CRE) to access new blockchain-based distribution channels. The model centers on fractionalized ownership, typically requiring a minimum investment of $25,000 for properties targeted by the firm.

This process does more than just open up new investment avenues. It offers enhanced transparency and capital formation while breaking down traditional geographical barriers. Through blockchain, investors from around the globe can co-author CRE deals within a compliant regulatory framework—an idea that seemed nearly impossible just a short time ago.

Streamlining Digital Ownership

RedSwan’s platform includes a Token Studio, a suite of tools that allows property owners to tokenize their assets and manage the resulting digital securities. These tokens can then be sold or distributed to other investors. This system is designed to ensure that the CRE tokens remain compliant and efficient, providing users with a secure and affordable way to manage their on-chain investments.

While the collaboration’s goal to tokenize $100 million in property by the end of 2025 is ambitious, it’s just a small fraction of the broader market. The North American real estate market alone is valued at approximately $75 trillion. Capturing even a sliver of that value would be a massive step forward for blockchain technology, potentially unlocking a major new driver for mainstream adoption.
