In a landmark step toward merging traditional real estate with blockchain innovation, real estate investment firm Vera Capital has partnered with infrastructure provider Blocksquare to tokenize up to $1 billion in U.S. real estate assets.
The initiative aims to open access to institutional-grade properties for a global investor base by leveraging scalable Web3 technology and a regulatory-compliant framework.
The strategic partnership will bring a diversified portfolio of commercial and multifamily real estate onto the blockchain, beginning with a $5.4 million commercial property in Fort Lauderdale. This inaugural asset, offering a 5% annual yield and redevelopment potential, will be the first of many tokenized listings across seven U.S. states.
The broader roadmap envisions the deployment of dozens of high-value properties over the coming months.
At the heart of the initiative is Vera Capital’s upcoming digital investment platform, powered by Blocksquare’s white-label marketplace technology. The platform is designed to offer fractional ownership of premium real estate with lower capital thresholds, increased transparency, and enhanced liquidity - a long-standing challenge in the property investment space.
The collaboration originated from Vera Capital’s campaign on Blocksquare’s Oceanpoint RWA Marketplace Launchpad. The campaign met overwhelming support, raising over 100,000 staked BST tokens in just one hour - well ahead of its 29-day target.
This early momentum granted Vera free access to Blocksquare’s full technology suite, and in return, token holders are set to receive rewards for their participation.
According to Denis Petrovcic, CEO of Blocksquare, this $1 billion rollout “marks a significant turning point for the real estate tokenization industry in the U.S.,” highlighting how the synergy between advanced blockchain infrastructure and real-world real estate expertise can unlock new investor demographics.
Founded in 2012, Vera Group - through its investment arm Vera Capital - manages over $100 million in real estate assets via a vertically integrated model encompassing brokerage, development, property management, and capital allocation.
The firm has recently broadened its scope to include blockchain and decentralized finance, positioning itself at the frontier of digital asset-backed investing.
Its tokenization strategy aims to democratize access to institutional-level real estate, enabling global investors to enter markets traditionally limited by high minimums, illiquidity, and opaque ownership structures.
Blocksquare, for its part, is a global leader in real estate tokenization, currently operating in more than 20 countries. The company’s infrastructure connects the $300 trillion global real estate market to the blockchain through modular solutions, including tokenization protocols, compliance layers, and liquidity frameworks.
In March 2025, Blocksquare rolled out a major upgrade to its Oceanpoint RWA infrastructure. The improvements included a revamped user interface, optimized trading processes, seamless wallet integrations, and real-time blockchain indexing powered by Envio - enhancing the overall scalability and performance of marketplaces built using its stack.
Real estate tokenization continues to gain momentum as part of the broader real-world asset (RWA) movement in Web3. By enabling fractional ownership and smart contract-based governance, tokenized property markets are expected to unlock trillions in previously inaccessible capital while expanding the reach of decentralized finance into traditionally illiquid sectors.
The Blocksquare–Vera Capital partnership is one of the most ambitious tokenization deals to date and could set a precedent for institutional real estate adoption of blockchain-based infrastructure in North America.
