BlockSquare launches EU-compliant real estate tokenization framework in Luxembourg
by Ashan Pandey. BlockSquare announced on February 5 that it has incorporated BlockSquare
SARL in Luxembourg to serve as the operational hub for its notarized real estate tokenization
framework. The new platform is the first to integrate land registries directly
through notarized agreements under european union regulations the framework enables property owners
to tokenize economic rights tied to the e-real estate while retaining full ownership for each
tokenization block square saral generates a set of block square property tokens bspts the tokens
are acquired by the property owner via a structured borrowing
arrangement, where Alien is placed on the property title. A notary oversees the process,
and the property owner then approves a resolution to transfer economic rights,
such as revenue from leases or proceeds from potential sales, to BSPT holders.
Once the process is complete, investors can trade the tokens on secondary markets,
potentially increasing liquidity in the real estate sector.
Tokenizing real-world assets has faced major roadblocks due to legal uncertainties,
said Denis Petrovchik, CEO of BlockSquare. With the incorporation of BlockSquare SARL,
we have established a legally enforceable framework that bridges blockchain technology
with traditional property laws. Petrovchik noted that the process draws on methods long used in
the banking sector to secure loans with real estate, providing clear legal protection and
transparency for investors. Luxembourg's regulatory environment, reinforced by EU
financial laws such as the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation, MICAR, underpins the framework.
In addition to offering fractional ownership and enhanced liquidity, the Model IS designed
to give property owners global access to capital while keeping control over their assets.
BlockSquare plans to pilot projects in Belgium and Austria next, building on its notarized
tokenized real estate transaction in Slovenia in 2023. The company aims to extend the
framework to Germany, Poland, and France in the near future. Final thoughts. The technical structure
of Blocksquare's framework is built around a process that integrates traditional real estate
practices with blockchain technology. Biasing notarized agreements and direct links with land
registries, the system creates a clear record of economic
rights transfer. This integration may reduce legal risks and enhance transparency, addressing
concerns that have historically hindered the tokenization of physical assets.
From a technical perspective, the mechanism of generating BSPTs for each property and securing
them via a collateralized borrowing arrangement introduces a controlled method for digitizing real estate assets. The reliance on established legal practices,
such as liens on property titles and notary oversight, bridges the gap between digital
innovation and traditional property law. While the framework will need to address market liquidity
and regulatory adaptation across different EU states, its design lays a foundation that could
improve investor confidence and facilitate broader adoption of real estate tokenization. Don't forget to like and share the
