RedSwan brings institutional real estate on-chain with Hedera

Problem

Traditional commercial real estate investing suffers from high minimum investment thresholds, limited liquidity, cross-border complexity, and opaque processes. These barriers exclude individual investors and slow capital formation, particularly for international participants and property owners seeking faster liquidity.

Solution

RedSwan leverages Hedera to tokenize commercial real estate, enabling globally accessible fractional investing. They also contributed to the development of Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio for regulatory-compliant tokenized securities.

The combination of Hedera’s advanced technology and our expertise allows us to create scalable, enterprise-grade solutions that enhance efficiency, security, and transparency across financial services and beyond.

RedSwan democratizes institutional real estate investment on Hedera

RedSwan CRE is revolutionizing the $75 trillion global commercial real estate market by making institutional-grade properties accessible to everyday investors. Led by CEO Edward Nwokedi, a former executive director at Cushman & Wakefield, RedSwan has tokenized over $5 billion worth of real estate assets on the Hedera network, with plans to reach $25 billion within 36 months.

The platform addresses three fundamental barriers in traditional real estate investment. First, it eliminates prohibitive minimum investments that often soar into tens of millions by fractionalizing properties into tokens purchasable for as little as $1,000. Second, it transforms typically illiquid assets into tradeable securities on secondary markets, allowing investors to exit positions without waiting years to sell physical properties. Third, it removes international investment friction through 24/7 global marketplace access, standardized compliance processes, and cryptocurrency payment acceptance.

RedSwan recently demonstrated this transformative approach by tokenizing a large portion of the Altus Opportunity Fund in partnership with Altus Equity Group on Hedera. This strategic alliance enables accredited investors to access a diversified portfolio of income-generating properties across rapidly expanding U.S. markets through digital tokens. Each token represents fractional ownership in the underlying real estate portfolio, providing immediate diversification across multiple asset classes and geographic regions within a single, well-structured vehicle.

Why Hedera

RedSwan selected Hedera for its consensus mechanism which delivers the speed, security, and efficiency essential for real estate transactions. Additionally, low, predictable fees on Hedera enable fractional investments without prohibitive costs. The RedSwan platform also leverages Hedera Token Service for minting tokens with built-in KYC/AML compliance, while its enterprise-grade security and governance provides institutional-level trust.
