DigiStatus: Investor Update May
Executive summary:
- We are now raising $5 million for further expansion and licensing, and we are inviting investors to participate in the round.
- DigiShares is the global market-leading provider of tokenization software for real estate assets, with 150+ clients.
- We will soon launch RealEstate.Exchange (REX), the world’s first real estate exchange, with the first five assets signed for listing and a great pipeline of assets from our clients.
Real Estate is our Differentiation
We differentiate by having the largest market share in real estate, providing a more flexible, customizable, and integrative platform, having the strongest brand, and providing a regulated, licensed exchange.
Many companies provide real estate tokenization services directly to consumers. We don’t, instead, we provide the infrastructure as an end-to-end solution.
We are a SaaS B2B company in terms of our white-label business.
We view this business model as extremely scalable and long-term profitable.
With our next initiative, RealEstate.Exchange, we will take advantage of our existing foothold in the real estate market to build the dominant global real estate exchange and ensure sufficient liquidity for future real estate markets.
Real estate developers are our ideal customers
Our ideal customer is a real estate developer that wants to digitize, automate, fractionalize, and create liquidity for their investors. We believe the market is currently in transition to a fully blockchain-enabled economy where all payments will be made with stablecoins and CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies).
This transition will take 3–5 years and will result in a massive demand for tokenization infrastructure, as projected by Citi Group, BCG, Bain, JP Morgan, the World Bank, Prophecy Market Insights, State Street, Meticulous Research, BNY Mellon, BlackRock, etc.
We continue to see good traction
We receive a solid number of inbound leads every month of which many are signed up.
Once the exchange is live, we expect to see a significant increase in new leads, and signed deals, as well as revenue, since we will have two new revenue sources: listing and trading fees.
Join The Investment Round
We are raising $5m in our A round.
Formally, the raise is a US Reg D/S raise for US accredited investors and any type of international investor.
The pitch deck is available upon request. Our investor portal is here:
Meet our Upcoming Exchange: RealEstate.Exchange
We are very excited to soon open for listings on RE.X. The first version (with order books) is undergoing final development, and within a few weeks, we will submit our “securities dealer license” application to the Danish FSA.
The first five have signed up, and there are many more in the pipeline. Due to our existing customer base. We have easy access to assets and expect steady growth in listed assets to 1000+ assets and $100m+ revenues in 5 years.
Global Regulations are Opening Doors for Tokenized Securities
If regulators (including the SEC) had their way, all tokens would be securities or at least treated with similar compliance and consumer protection.
DigiShares is already well prepared for this future since our technology is prepared to work with tokenized securities.
To ensure we stay on top of things, we have employed a top legal counsel who constantly monitors global regulation. In addition, we are partnered with 40+ legal firms that ensure that clients are compliant.
The following countries have regulations that fully support tokenized securities:
USA, Canada, Switzerland, the UK, Germany, the UAE/Dubai, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Estonia, Finland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, and Malaysia.
