 <p>The idea of tokenizing various real-world assets has been around for many years, but the recent developments with regard to blockchain regulation and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/institutional.html">institutional</a> adoption have significantly accelerated the process.</p>
 <p>The trend is evident with the efforts to tokenize instruments such as green bonds, as Hong Kong and Societe Generale did earlier this year. Blocksquare also played a major role in this endeavor and even made history when it successfully executed the world’s first notarized tokenization of a real estate property in September 2023.</p>
 <p>Indeed, the company is explicitly aiming to reshape the very concept of property ownership by tokenizing real estate as a way to boost accessibility and liquidity by making fractional ownership easier to attain.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>Many major traditional institutions have, at the very least, already expressed their curiosity about the concept, and others have proven highly optimistic with, for example, the Boston Consulting Group – a global management consulting firm with a history dating back to 1963 – previously estimating that the market will be worth $16 trillion by 2030.</p>
