The crypto shortcut that many young people are taking advantage of to become owners

Real estate tokenization allows investment in real fractions of properties from accessible amounts and with just a few clicks. More and more young people are entering a market that previously seemed locked.

For decades, access to home ownership was a privilege reserved for those who could afford high prices in dollars, increasingly scarce loans, and closing costs that made the operation even more expensive. That traditional and exclusive model is beginning to show cracks. And in that gap, an unexpected alternative appears: investing in bricks, in digital form.

The idea is simple and powerful: to divide a property into small digital shares, accessible to anyone. Thanks to blockchain technology and smart contracts, it is no longer necessary to buy a whole property to start generating rental income: it is enough to acquire a fraction.

“Each token represents a concrete portion of the asset, with real economic rights, and can be bought, sold, or inherited with the same ease as transferring a cryptocurrency today,” explains Yohann Libot, CMO of RealT, a platform that allows this type of investment worldwide.
