Blocksquare Partners with Polytrade to Enhance RWA Adoption

Ljubljana, Slovenia, October 1st, 2024, Chainwire

Blocksquare today announced a strategic partnership with Polytrade, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform facilitating the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). This collaboration will integrate Blocksquare’s real estate tokenization infrastructure with Polytrade’s marketplace, accelerating adoption of tokenized real estate and bringing enhanced liquidity, transparency, and accessibility to the sector.

This collaboration expands the visibility of Blocksquare’s tokenized real estate offerings, giving marketplace operators access to Polytrade’s extensive DeFi network. In turn, Polytrade users gain exposure to real estate as a new asset class within their platform, offering them opportunities to invest in tokenized properties with greater flexibility and lower capital requirements.

"Real estate represents the largest asset class globally, eclipsing the combined value of all other markets," said Denis Petrovcic, CEO of Blocksquare. "Despite the spotlight on RWA's, bringing the value of real estate on-chain efficiently has been a major hurdle. Blocksquare addresses this by tokenizing over 140 properties in 20+ countries, and we are thrilled to provide this value to Polytrade's platform."

As global economies face fluctuating interest rates and inflationary pressures, tokenized real estate offers investors a unique opportunity to diversify portfolios with stable, tangible real estate assets without needing to expend large amounts of capital. With Polytrade’s marketplace providing a decentralized infrastructure, the partnership is expected to attract institutional investors seeking alternative asset classes that align with long-term financial strategies.

“Our collaboration with Blocksquare is another pivotal moment in the evolution of RWA tokenization,” said Piyush Gupta, Founder of Polytrade. “By integrating Blocksquare’s real estate assets into Polytrade’s marketplace, we’re not only expanding access to a wider range of assets but also creating new opportunities for investors to diversify their portfolios in ways that were previously unimaginable. We’re glad to be able to offer greater transparency, liquidity, and growth potential for all participants.”

Blocksquare currently works with 12 marketplace operators, who tokenize and list properties through Blocksquare’s infrastructure. With this partnership, these operators will be able to expose their tokenized assets to Polytrade’s wider user base, fostering community-driven growth and investment from DeFi users globally. By leveraging Polytrade’s DeFi ecosystem, both platforms aim to drive greater market activity and liquidity, grow their user base, and reinforce the growing momentum of tokenized RWAs.
