BITK 100% ownership in RealBlocks provides a mechanism for fractional ownership of alternative assets through tokenization. Here's a detailed look at how ownership works on the platform:
1. **Tokenization**: RealBlocks converts ownership of physical assets, such as real estate, into digital tokens. Each token represents a fractional share of the asset. This process involves creating a digital representation of the asset on the blockchain.
2. **Fractional Ownership**: Investors can purchase these tokens, allowing them to own a portion of the asset. This lowers the barrier to entry, as investors do not need to buy the entire asset but can invest in smaller, more affordable fractions.
3. **Blockchain Technology**: The use of blockchain ensures that ownership records are immutable, transparent, and secure. Each transaction is recorded on the blockchain, providing a clear and indisputable history of ownership.
4. **Liquidity**: RealBlocks facilitates a secondary market where these tokens can be bought and sold. This provides liquidity to typically illiquid assets like real estate, allowing investors to exit their investments more easily.
5. **Transparency and Security**: The platform offers enhanced transparency through the blockchain, where all transactions and ownership details are visible and cannot be tampered with. Security is also heightened as blockchain technology reduces the risk of fraud and ensures data integrity.
6. **Compliance and Regulation**: RealBlocks ensures that all transactions comply with relevant regulations, providing a compliant framework for both issuers and investors. This includes adhering to securities laws and implementing Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures.
By combining blockchain technology with traditional investment processes, RealBlocks aims to democratize access to alternative investments and make the process more efficient and secure for all parties involved.

$BIDCF The approval of spot Ethereum ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) carries significant implications for firms engaged in tokenizing assets that trade on-chain. Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, affirmed Ethereum's regulatory status as a commodity and stated that the approval is bullish for the asset tokenization premise on the Ethereum blockchain.
Domingo highlighted the importance of institutional safety in using Ethereum, as the approval eliminates concerns about Ethereum's native token, ETH, being classified as a security. He emphasized that Ethereum is now considered safe for institutional use, further bolstering its position as a reliable platform for asset tokenization.
This is beneficial to protocols specializing in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), such as Ondo Finance. The project focuses on providing institutional-grade financial products and services, including tokens offering USD yield or exposure to US Treasuries. In 2022, Ondo Finance raised $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital and Peter Thiel's Founders Fund. Following the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs, ONDO experienced a significant surge in its governance token, ONDO, gaining 32.8% over the past week. It is currently trading at $1.23.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has long regarded tokenization as the next step from ETFS, envisioning reduced fees and instantaneous settlement facilitated by blockchain technology. BlackRock's strategic funding round of $47 million in tokenization firm Securitize further solidifies its commitment to the sector.
