Investing in Tokenized Real Estate

We talk to Ben Wilkening and Phillip Silitschanu of TokenIQ about compliant tokenization, KYC, due diligence, real estate development, fraud, fine art, and the secondary market for last year's "lambos." Well beyond the tech perspective, this episode covers a wide range of topics related to the tokenization of assets and the economic implications of doing so. https://tokeniq.io https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminwilkening/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/silitschanu/ https://penduluminsight.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/coltonmoffitt/

http://www.MapableUSA.com: You’ve probably heard the term "ICO" which stands for “Initial Coin Offering”. ICOs raised $3.8 billion in 2017. But already so far this year, companies have raised in excess of $12.4 billion. The problem is the unregistered nature of the product with respect to the Securities Exchange Commission that have left a number of ICO investors victims of fraud. There’s a better way, and they’re called “Security Token Offerings”which are gaining popularity as a means to crowdfunding deals. In this podcast, we spoke with Ben Wilkening of Token IQ, a company which provides software as a service for those companies seeking to create their own STO’s as a capital raising vehicle. When you listen to this podcast, you’ll learn with the future of “tokenization” really is and how the potential of STO investing is enormous (as well as some interesting applications of what blockchain technology and smart contracts can bring to just about any industry!

TokenIQ The Problem: The ERC-20 token and similar technologies are not capable of providing a truly compliant solution to the tokenization of securities, nor even to delivering a fully compliant ICO. A simple example is that in the cryptocurrency world loss of access to a wallet renders the token-holder incapable of capitalizing on gains while in the real world the loss of a share certificate in no way undermines a shareholder’s claim to their rights. Our Solution: Create a scalable technology solutions that allows us to tokenize securities, be they ICOs or traditional security offerings. Specifically, we address the key areas of: token Monetization, AML and KYC compliance, ongoing-compliance and market-making. Among the numerous capabilities that are missing from today’s crypto currencies are Futures, Vesting, Options (American and European), Indexes, Swaps, Forward Contracts, Lost token handling, Inheritance, Custodianship, Court Judgement enforcement. While some have talked about approaching a few of these capabilities through the deployment of an exchange mechanism, we believe that a better way is to build these directly into the token. The Token IQ solution makes all these capabilities available to tokenized securities, be they ICOs today or conventional securities in the future. Our immediate business opportunity is each and every company that has issued a SAFT agreement or is interested in fully legal, compliant and mature tokenization that is available to all investors and is "on-side" with SEC and other regulators.
