In 2025, tokenization has moved beyond theory and into practical, wide-scale adoption. Across industries, it is transforming how ownership, value exchange, and investment operate. The blockchain revolution is no longer confined to the digital space, as it is directly influencing physical assets such as real estate, infrastructure, and energy.
At InstaBuilt, tokenization aligns perfectly with our mission to innovate sustainable housing and real-world development. Through our ventures Pllana Capital, Cherry Communities and InstaBuilt modular housing, we are embracing this technology to build not only homes but a more inclusive and transparent financial ecosystem.
This vision was clearly reflected in two major blockchain events recently attended by our CEO, Mentor Pllana. Within a week, our CEO Mentor Pllana participated in two significant blockchain events in Europe: Crypto Valley Conference in Zug, Switzerland, and Berlin Blockchain Week in Germany. These events brought together pioneers in Web3, decentralized finance, tokenization, and real-world asset innovation.
At the Crypto Valley Conference in Zug, Mentor engaged with thought leaders and institutional actors who are leading the global conversation on blockchain adoption. Zug has become a symbol of regulatory clarity and Web3 entrepreneurship, making it an ideal setting for exploring the integration of blockchain in real estate and infrastructure development.
Shortly after, Mentor represented InstaBuilt, Cherry Communities, and Pllana Capital at Berlin Blockchain Week – a hub of practical use cases, technological demonstrations, and ecosystem-building. There, he connected with global partners to discuss the future of tokenized housing, digital ownership models, and the role of smart contracts in construction, energy, and urban development. Through these engagements, we are not just observing the evolution of blockchain technology, but we are actively shaping its application in the built environment. We are integrating tokenization, modular construction, and ESG principles into a scalable, transparent, and inclusive model for the next generation of living.
Here are five key benefits of real world asset tokenization that reflect why we believe this technology is vital to the future of housing, finance, and development.
1. Unlocking Liquidity in Traditionally Illiquid Markets
Real estate, infrastructure, and large-scale development projects have long been difficult to trade. These assets are high in value, slow to transact, and often limited to institutional players. Tokenization solves this by dividing large physical assets into digital tokens that represent fractional ownership.
For example, a multi-million-euro development can be split into thousands of tokens. Investors can buy just a portion, making participation accessible to a wider audience. Asset owners gain quicker access to capital, while investors benefit from liquidity that previously did not exist.
2. Creating a Global, 24/7 Marketplace
Traditional investments operate within set hours and geographic limitations. Tokenized assets, in contrast, live on blockchain networks that are accessible any time, from anywhere in the world.
This opens doors to international investors who can participate in projects like Cherry Communities or renewable energy developments across borders and time zones. The result is greater market efficiency, increased access to capital, and a more dynamic investment landscape.
3. Reducing Settlement Times and Operational Costs
In the traditional financial system, transferring ownership or processing a trade can take days or even weeks. It often involves multiple intermediaries, legal paperwork, and high transaction costs.
Blockchain-based tokenization allows transactions to settle in seconds. Smart contracts automate the process, instantly verifying ownership and transferring digital rights. This not only accelerates deal-making but also reduces costs for developers, investors, and institutions. For InstaBuilt, faster settlement means faster project funding and faster execution on the ground.
4. Increasing Transparency and Compliance
Tokenized assets live on an immutable digital ledger where every transaction is traceable. This transparency builds trust among investors, regulators, and financial partners.
Smart contracts can also automate regulatory compliance. For example, tokens can be programmed to restrict access to accredited investors or automatically enforce anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements. This reduces risk and ensures that participation in projects like modular housing developments follows all legal standards. Transparency is particularly important in real estate and infrastructure, where accountability, governance, and investor trust are critical.
5. Broadening the Spectrum of What Can Be Tokenized
Tokenization is not limited to property. It can be applied to carbon credits, intellectual property, renewable energy revenues, and even labor contracts.
A solar farm in Africa, for example, can tokenize its future revenue and raise capital from global investors. Artists can tokenize their royalties. Governments can tokenize land registries to ensure transparent property rights.
So, modular construction projects can be financed through tokenized real estate, ESG goals can be supported through tokenized carbon assets, and communities can share in the financial upside of the projects they build.
Building a Future That Connects Capital, Community, and Code
Mentor Pllana’s recent participation in global blockchain events shows that we are not just observers of change, but we are active contributors. It reflected a belief that the future of infrastructure, housing, and sustainable development lies in bridging traditional capital with blockchain-powered innovation.
InstaBuilt and Cherry Communities are at the forefront of this transformation. We are designing projects that are both physical and digital. We are creating systems where value is shared more widely, risks are better managed, and processes are faster and more transparent.
Tokenization allows us to finance and build in a way that reflects our values: sustainability, inclusivity, and long-term impact.
The next era of building is here. It is modular, tokenized, and global.
