Cardone Capital invests $5 billion to promote real estate tokenization, accelerating the onboarding of U.S. assets

February 27 News, Cardone Capital announced the launch of a $5 billion real estate tokenization plan, aiming to put its multi-family residential and commercial real estate assets in the U.S. on the blockchain, creating digital shares that can be traded in the secondary market. Founder Grant Cardone stated that this move will provide investors with more liquid collateral options and expand financing and exit pathways for real estate assets.

Grant Cardone revealed that over the past decade, the company has distributed more than $500 million in cash flow to investors, building a stable retail investor base. In January this year, Cardone Capital also proposed allocating real estate cash flows to Bitcoin as part of its long-term asset allocation strategy; the company has previously purchased 1,000 Bitcoin and plans to continue increasing its holdings.

Real estate tokenization is becoming an important direction for the digitalization of traditional assets. Besides Cardone Capital, World Liberty Financial is also advancing the tokenization of loan yields related to a Maldives resort project; Ctrl Alt and Dubai Land Department recently announced the second phase of a real estate tokenization project, using Ripple’s institutional-grade custody solution to store related digital property rights.

Consulting firm Deloitte predicts that by 2035, the global scale of real estate tokenization could reach $4 trillion, with an annual growth rate of about 27%. In the context of asset programmability, issuers can design differentiated products based on sustainability ratings, location features, and other dimensions, enhancing the flexibility and transparency of real estate investment portfolios. As the U.S. and Middle Eastern markets continue to expand, the process of bringing real estate onto the blockchain is accelerating significantly.
