🌴 TokenizeThis Conference by STM: 3-Days, Virtual, Free to Attend

Have you heard the news??

We’re hosting our inaugural conference and we’re calling it:

As you Rainmakers know, we at STM are focused on growing the adoption of tokenization while fostering innovation for our ecosystem. To that end, we aim to centralize an environment where thought leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts can gather to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and chart the course for the future of finance using tokenization.

This is going to be a 3-day event, fully virtual, and FREE to attend… so there’s no excuse! Whether you’re a forward-thinking asset manager, a service provider, an issuer, or an investor, there’s something here for you. If you go to summit.stm.co you’ll find a tentative agenda but here’s a highlight on some of the speakers and panels we are putting together.

Day #1 - Battle of the Blockchains: Inspired by past Security Token Market webinars, "Battle of the Blockchains" will bring together blockchain leaders from the leading Layer 1s & Layer 2s to engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the merits of various blockchain platforms used for tokenization.

• Morgan Krupetsky, Director of BD for Institutions & Capital Markets, Avalanche

• Colin Butler, Global Head of Institutional Capital, Polygon Labs

We hope you feel as excited as we are! Keep an eye out for announcements around new panels, speakers, and keynotes. Of course a HUGE thank you to our sponsors and panelists for making TokenizeThis possible including Inveniam, RedSwan CRE, and Fairchild Acquisitions 🙏🏼

 🏡 Real Estate is Broken, Let’s Fix It: RedSwan CRE

Real estate has been an asset class of interest for a long time and has grown in size tremendously. However, it’s also one of the least evolved asset classes.

Want to invest? Better put up an arm and a leg.
Want to know what you’re investing in? You’re either a real estate professional or about to get your money taken like candy from a baby.
Want to sell it? Go find someone interested that can afford it.
Want to sell it quickly? Good luck selling it for what it’s worth. You’re going to take a liquidity discount.

As you can see, lets of problems. And that’s just a few of them above not to mention all the intricacies that come with them.

What if I told you tokenization can fix these problems? What if I told you there’s a platform out there making tokenization investor & issuer-friendly?

Introducing a marketplace of tokenized commercial real Estate: RedSwan CRE!

They have a solution for each of the questions I just asked you. For investors looking to participate in commercial real estate it’s usually a pretty penny. Through RedSwan you can invest at a fraction of that! These aren’t tiny properties by the way, that’s not the reason for the low barrier to entry. They’ve fractionalized the ownership which is represented through a security token!

How do we know they’re high quality? How do we know what we’re investing in? Glad you asked! RedSwan’s team has a combined 65 years in real estate so they know what they’re doing. The team vets all properties before publishing them, posts all the information easily readable, and even gets an Opinion of Value from a trusted third party such as Cushman and Wakefield.

Can I sell my position quickly? Sure thing. Rather than going through a 6-9 month process, RedSwan says you can sell your security tokens in as little as 15 minutes. They KYC/AML all investors before allowing them to trade tokens, meaning you may be selling to a complete stranger but RedSwan already put in the work to verify they’re who they say they are and remain SEC-compliant.

Check out an interview Kyle just did with their CEO Ed Nwokedi!

Whether you’d like to invest in a hotel in Miami, a building at Disney, or properties in Africa, RedSwan has a variety of options for you to participate in, go check them out!
