ATLANT Use Case: Tokenized Real Estate Ownership Wang Wei is an engineer in Beijing who wants to make the best investments for his family’s future. He talked it over with his wife Jia, and they agreed that real estate is usually good over the long term, and stable. However, as a young family with limited investment funds, they felt their options probably didn’t include real estate. That level of investment would have to wait.
If only there were options that didn’t require hefty upfront investment in a single property, and that could be diversified, somehow. And which also had the possibilities of the kind of growth that Wei had already enjoyed from his cryptocurrency portfolio.
Oh well, Wei and Jia both decided, that’s probably not realistic in connection with real estate investing. Maybe in the future, when they had saved more, they could invest in such things.
Wei went back online to research various investment options that were realistic. There were some that seemed okay, but he really wasn’t happy.
Then, he found ATLANT.
A whole new world opened up for him. Wei learned that he could invest in real estate assets in a very similar way to trading stocks. And not only that, but he could invest in properties located around the world. Wei got excited, and started researching various properties listed on the ATLANT platform, in several different countries.
He found a new office building in London, a manufacturing center in Singapore, and a very interesting small business center getting ready to open in Metz, France.
Then it hit him, and Wei sighed deeply. His available investment funds only totaled $50,000 or so. Not enough to invest in these three attractive properties, surely.
Still, Wei wanted to know what was possible with ATLANT, and so he researched ATLANT’s approach a bit more, especially the specifics of tokenizing real estate assets, and what fractionalized ownership really meant.
The information he found included the fact that the ATLANT platform offers a unique token for each property, and as with all such tokens, he could invest as much or as little as he liked.
And then the light bulb went off in Wei’s head, and a big grin broke across his face. He didn’t have to decide between these attractive properties. He could allocate some funds to each of them.
Wei worried that there might be differences, though. For instance, when you invest in stocks, you know the company has been vetted thoroughly, as part of their filings. Had these properties been vetted as well? As he dug deeper, Wei ended up not only satisfied, but also impressed with ATLANT’s overall approach.
ATLANT, it turned out, ensures that there are no hidden issues that could harm investors. All listed properties had demonstrated that they were in full compliance with the local laws, and that their property had no liens or other outstanding issues. And it was all certified by the appropriate authorities in each jurisdiction, and recorded on the immutable blockchain.
Wei was sold. He knew his investment could go up or down with the market, and due to various aspects of each property, but not because of any hidden items or legal issues.
He put together $50,000 from his existing cryptocurrency portfolio, and registered on the ATLANT platform, allocating his funds between the three properties he thought were best.
Wei knew that nothing was guaranteed, but at the same time, these all looked like really good investments. And he could own a piece of each of them, with a few hours of research from the comfort of his own phone.
Over the next two years, Wei received proportionate income from the tenants of all three properties, based on the number of tokens he held for each of them. The value of his three tokens increased by an average of 18%. This was a better return than he might have gotten from many other investments, and with none of the extra costs or hassle.
Performance of his investment was akin to owning parts in these buildings, and getting profits from rental payments, but without any of the hassle. Wei and Jia were quite happy with their investments, and how easy it was to make them.
