Georgia is preparing to launch a new mechanism for real estate investment – asset tokenization, which will allow expensive properties to be divided into digital shares and sold to a wide range of investors.
The essence of the approach is that instead of buying an entire property – an apartment, a hotel, or a commercial space – an investor will be able to acquire only a part of it in the form of a token. This format implies participation in rental income or property value growth, effectively bringing the real estate market closer to the principles of the stock market.
According to experts, this could significantly expand the circle of investors and attract additional capital to the construction sector. Developers will gain access to new sources of financing, and private investors will have the opportunity to enter the market with smaller amounts. Potential interest from foreign investors, who will not need to directly participate in property management, is also noted.
At the same time, legislative regulation will be a key success factor. The trust in the new system depends on how the rights of token holders and investment protection mechanisms are secured. Ultimately, tokenization could become the basis for forming a new investment infrastructure and change the approach to real estate ownership in the country.
