It’s no secret that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile. While its potential upside is unmatched, it also frequently experiences sharp price corrections and enters prolonged bear markets. When this happens, investors need a place to protect their funds from losses — often referred to as safe havens.

A safe haven is a type of investment that is expected to retain or increase in value during times of market turbulence. Investors move funds into safe havens to mitigate their risk of losses during market downturns. In the crypto space, these types of investments can be difficult to find — especially if the investor is also expecting a consistent return.

Real estate-backed tokens offer the ability to invest in real estate directly on-chain. They are not affected by cryptocurrency bear markets because their value is derived from real world assets. By moving trading profits and idle funds into real estate-backed tokens, investors can protect their funds from volatility while also earning regular cash flows.

What are real estate-backed tokens?

Real estate-backed tokens, or Asset Tokens, are cryptocurrencies that represent the ownership of real-world assets. To put it simply, the value of an Asset Token is based directly on the value of the asset it represents. All of this is made possible by a process called Tokenization.

Tokenization Model

Tokenization splits the ownership of a real estate asset into smaller parts represented by tokens. Each individual holder of the tokens is a co-owner of the asset and receives a share of the profits it generates. Asset Tokens tokens can be bought, sold, or traded just like any other token on the blockchain.

For a more detailed description of Asset Tokens and the process of Tokenization, check out Landshare’s Tokenized Asset Overview video.

Real Estate Tokens vs. Stablecoins

Traditionally, crypto traders move their funds to stablecoins such as USDT, BUSD, and USDC to take profits or protect themselves from market downturns. Because the value of a stablecoin is always at or near $1 USD, they allow traders to keep their funds on-chain while protecting themselves from volatility and price fluctuations. While stablecoins offer great utility in this regard, real estate-backed tokens offer several unique advantages as a safe haven for crypto traders.

1:1 Backing

Tether’s USDT is the most popular stablecoin in the market today. There is a widespread assumption that Tether holds enough USD to back up the whopping 69,000,000,000+ circulating supply of USDT. However, at this point it is not clear how many USDT tokens are backed by actual USD. According to a recent Bloomberg article:

“Exactly how Tether is backed, or if it’s truly backed at all, has always been a mystery. For years a persistent group of critics has argued that, despite the company’s assurances, Tether Holdings doesn’t have enough assets to maintain the 1-to-1 exchange rate, meaning its coin is essentially a fraud.”

On October 15, 2021, the CFTC ordered Tether to pay a $41 million dollar fine for issuing unbacked USDT tokens. According to the release:

“The Tether order finds that since its launch in 2014, Tether has represented that the tether token is a stablecoin with its value pegged to fiat currency and 100% backed by corresponding fiat assets, including U.S. dollars and euros. However, the Tether order finds that from at least June 1, 2016 to February 25, 2019, Tether misrepresented to customers and the market that Tether maintained sufficient U.S. dollar reserves to back every USDT in circulation with the “equivalent amount of corresponding fiat currency” held by Tether and “safely deposited” in Tether’s bank accounts. In fact Tether reserves were not “fully-backed” the majority of the time.”

The concerns over Tether’s operations should be taken seriously if cryptocurrency is to be adopted by the mainstream public. Without being collateralized 1:1 USD, a “run-on-the-bank” situation, or even regulatory actions, could leave hundreds of millions of users with valueless USDT that can no longer be redeemed for $1 USD.

By contrast, Asset Tokens are fixed supply tokens transparently backed by real world assets. Because token holders are shareholders of the asset itself, they have a direct legal claim to their share of the asset’s value.

Cash returns and appreciation

While stablecoins offer protections against market downturns, they do not intrinsically offer any yields or returns to investors, nor can they appreciate in value. In fact, due to inflation rates reaching 30-year highs, holding stablecoins can mean a loss of buying power over time.

Asset Tokens offer similar protections from the volatility of cryptocurrency while also offering annual cash yields and value appreciation averaging between 6–8% and 5–10% respectively, for total annual returns up to 18%. While the value of the US dollar shrinks, US home prices are projected to increase by 13.6% over the next year.

Security

Traders may choose to stake stablecoins on loan or yield farming platforms such as Venus or Beefy Finance. These platforms offer a great way to earn some extra income while holding USD and greatly outperform the rates offered by banks.

Unfortunately, these platforms come with their own risks that can still result in traders losing their investment. Due to the open nature of DeFi, many protocols have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers, and these attacks are not uncommon. $119 million was recently stolen from BadgerDAO by hackers, Cream Finance was exploited for over $100 million, and Poly Network was exploited for $600 million. According to Cipher Trace, over $10 Billion was stolen in DeFi related theft this year.

In addition to DeFi risks, investors are vulnerable to the loss or theft of wallet private keys and exchange hacks, meaning funds can be lost even by holding. If these events occur, there is typically no way to retrieve lost funds.

Tokenized Real Estate offers additional security measures that traditional protocols cannot. While traditional tokens can be lost due to DeFi exploits or wallet hacks, Asset Tokens are immune to this because they are owned by the investor, not a wallet. If an investor’s wallet suffers an attack or is compromised, the stolen tokens can be administratively reissued to a secured wallet.

Conclusion

Tokenized Assets offer a great way to hold your profits in a secure and traditionally stable manner without the risks of being run on, being hacked, or sitting on depreciating assets. While your first thought for a safe haven may be holding stablecoins, it may be time to consider real estate-backed tokens as an alternative.

Real Estate Tokens as an Inflation Hedge? Investigating the 2025 Scenario

As we move into 2025, inflation remains one of the biggest concerns for investors. Traditional real estate has long been seen as a hedge.
By
logos

Landshare Team

In 2025, inflation continues to challenge the global economy. With rising consumer prices, devalued currencies, and economic uncertainty, investors are searching for dependable assets that protect purchasing power and deliver stable returns.

Traditionally, real estate has been a proven hedge against inflation — offering both price appreciation and passive income. But today, a new, more accessible alternative has emerged: tokenized real estate.

Thanks to platforms like Landshare, investors can now gain exposure to high-quality U.S.-based property assets through blockchain — combining the security of real estate with the power and flexibility of decentralized finance. The result is a next-generation inflation hedge that’s liquid, transparent, and built for yield.

Why Real Estate Works Against Inflation

Historically, real estate performs well during inflationary cycles. As the cost of goods rises, so do property values and rents. This leads to:

  • Capital appreciation in physical assets
  • Rising rental income that keeps up with inflation
  • Consistent cash flow from tenant payments

However, traditional real estate has high entry barriers, low liquidity, and slow transaction processes. Landshare solves all of this with a blockchain-native approach.

Introducing LSRWA: A Tokenized Real Estate Solution for 2025

At the core of Landshare’s ecosystem is LSRWA, a token that represents a share of a pool of real-world, U.S.-based real estate assets. When you hold LSRWA, you're not just speculating — you're actually investing in physical properties that produce income and grow in value over time.

📈 Built-in Appreciation

The value of each LSRWA token grows proportionally with:

  • Cash flow generated by rental income
  • Underlying property appreciation

This means that simply holding the token over time allows investors to benefit from both rising property values and consistent income streams — two critical components of any inflation hedge.

Triple-Yield DeFi Opportunities with Landshare

What sets Landshare apart isn’t just its real estate exposure — it’s the powerful DeFi integrations that supercharge your returns.

💧 LSRWA-USDT Liquidity Pool (12% APR)

By providing liquidity in the LSRWA-USDT pool, investors can earn an additional 12% APR in staking rewards, on top of their property-backed gains. This creates a blended yield opportunity rarely seen in traditional finance or real estate.

🔁 Borrowing Against LP Tokens

Landshare is rolling out a new borrowing strategy that allows users to:

  • Stake their LSRWA-USDT LP tokens
  • Borrow $USDC against them
  • Continue earning LP rewards and LSRWA appreciation

This innovative approach creates three income streams at once:

  1. LSRWA token growth
  2. LP staking rewards
  3. Potential gains from utilizing borrowed USDC

It’s a fully optimized, capital-efficient strategy for high-yield real estate exposure — and a major advantage in inflationary conditions.

🎮 Boost Returns with the Landshare NFT Ecosystem

For those seeking an even more engaging experience, Landshare’s NFT Ecosystem adds a unique gamified layer to real estate investing.

LSRWA holders can participate in this NFT-based yield enhancement system, unlocking exclusive boosts and rewards. This ecosystem allows users to:

  • Earn higher yields through NFT upgrades and bonuses
  • Engage in strategy-driven gameplay that complements real investing
  • Turn real estate into an interactive DeFi experience

Learn more about how it works here.

Real Estate Tokens vs. Traditional Inflation Hedges

Compared to conventional options like gold or T-bills, tokenized real estate offers a compelling advantage:

Landshare’s model brings together the stability of real estate, the liquidity of crypto, and the rewards of DeFi, making it one of the most attractive options for inflation-resistant investing in 2025.

Final Thoughts: A Smarter Hedge for a New Era

As inflation continues to challenge global financial systems, LSRWA tokens offer a modern, effective way to preserve and grow wealth.

With built-in exposure to real U.S. real estate, passive income through rental yields, and DeFi-powered strategies that unlock multiple layers of returns, Landshare stands at the forefront of the tokenized real estate revolution.

Whether you're looking to safeguard your capital, generate yield, or explore new frontiers in on-chain investing, LSRWA offers a powerful, inflation-hedged solution for 2025 and beyond.

Beyond REITs: How Tokenized Real Estate is Changing U.S. Property Investment in 2025

Beyond REITs, U.S. Property Investment in 2025
By
logos

Landshare Team

In 2025, the landscape of property investment in the U.S. is being reshaped—not just by shifting market trends, but by a powerful technological revolution: tokenized real estate.

While Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have long served as a gateway for fractional property ownership, a new wave of blockchain property investment platforms is offering something REITs never could—global access, 24/7 liquidity, and full transparency. This is the age of tokenisation, and platforms like Landshare are leading the way.

💡 What Are REITs and Why Have They Been Popular?

REITs have traditionally allowed investors to gain exposure to real estate without directly owning physical property. They're regulated investment vehicles that pool money to purchase or manage income-producing real estate.

Benefits of REITs:

  • Steady dividend income
  • Exposure to property markets without physical management
  • Liquidity (especially with public REITs)

However, REITs come with limitations:

  • Lack of transparency
  • High management fees
  • Restricted market hours
  • Limited global access

🔄 REIT vs Tokenisation: Why 2025 Is a Turning Point

Enter tokenized real estate—a model that leverages blockchain technology to digitally represent ownership in real-world properties through tokens. Unlike REITs, where investors buy into a fund, tokenization allows direct, transparent, and programmable ownership in individual assets.

Key Advantages Over REITs:

24/7 Liquidity – Trade property tokens any time on decentralized exchanges

Fractional Ownership – Invest with as little as $1

Smart Contract Automation – Dividends, ownership transfers, and reporting managed on-chain

Global Participation – Anyone with an internet connection can invest in U.S. real estate

🌍 Globalizing U.S. Property Investment

One of the most significant advantages of tokenized real estate in 2025 is the global democratization of U.S. real estate markets. With regulatory frameworks maturing and platforms like Landshare providing fully-compliant solutions, international investors are able to access U.S. property markets without intermediaries.

This opens the door for:

  • Global investors in emerging markets
  • Digital nomads and crypto holders
  • Institutions seeking stable, asset-backed returns

💼  Landshare: A Leader in Tokenized Real Estate

At the forefront of this transformation is Landshare—a blockchain platform that offers tokenized access to real, income-producing U.S. properties. Unlike traditional REITs, Landshare enables users to stake, trade, and earn passive income through its ecosystem.

What makes Landshare stand out?

  • Fully tokenized rental properties
  • Integrated staking platform
  • Real-time asset transparency
  • DeFi integration for additional yield opportunities

Landshare empowers users to move beyond REITs and into a more flexible, modern, and profitable model of real estate investing.

📈 Future Outlook: The Rise of Blockchain Property Investment

As the real estate industry embraces blockchain technology, tokenized real estate is poised to become a cornerstone of any forward-thinking investment portfolio.

With the benefits of liquidity, transparency, and accessibility, it's clear that tokenized property investment is not just an alternative to REITs—but an upgrade.

By 2025, as more investors demand control, speed, and lower costs, tokenisation will become the standard—not the exception.

🏁 Conclusion

The shift from traditional REITs to tokenized real estate marks a pivotal moment in property investment. Platforms like Landshare are making it possible to invest in U.S. real estate smarter, faster, and globally.

Whether you're a seasoned investor or just entering the Web3 space, it's time to ask:

Why settle for outdated REITs when tokenization offers so much more?

Global Investors to Access $337T Real Estate Market Through US-based Crypto Projects

US crypto projects open doors to 337 trillion in real estate
By
logos

Landshare Team

With Bitcoin dropping by more than 12% in the past seven days and Ethereum by 24% in the past month, investors are seeking alternatives in these unstable market conditions. To diversify their portfolios with less volatile bets, global investors are targeting the $337T real estate market.

The real estate market is known for its entry barriers due to the heavy capital investment required. However, several US-based crypto projects are changing this through real estate tokenization. 

One project leading this revolution is Landshare. So, let’s see what’s driving this change and why tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are seen as the next big thing in the investment circuit right now.

Real Estate Tokenization Industry to Reach $19.4 Billion by 2033

Traditional real estate investing has mostly been a playground for the ultra-wealthy and institutional players. A single property often requires six-figure minimums, while cross-border deals involve high legal complexity. 

RWA tokens change the game. By fractionalizing property ownership, blockchain helps investors buy shares for as little as $1. This shift mirrors the stock market’s evolution from exclusive trading floors to smartphone apps. But, of course, decentralization plays a huge role here.

Moreover, regulatory clarity under frameworks and the SEC’s maturing stance on security tokens provide a stable foundation. Meanwhile, institutional giants like JPMorgan and BlackRock have begun experimenting with tokenized assets. This too brings in confidence in the model for retail investors.

How U.S. Crypto Projects Are Leading the RWA Change?

While global platforms have made healthy progress in their tokenization efforts, American crypto projects like Landshare hold distinct advantages:

Institutional Trust
: U.S. legal structures attract risk-averse capital.
Tech Infrastructure
: Strong DeFi platforms (e.g., Chainlink, Aave) allow for smooth asset management.
Liquidity
: Selling real estate in the US can be challenging because of the legal complexity. However, trading RWA tokens is quite simple and provides almost instant liquidity to the investors. 

Why Landshare Stands Out as a Top RWA Contender?

Real Utility Over Hype: Investors actively seek value-adding projects rather than hype machines. Landshare, with its tokenization utility, is a strong contender for long-term gains in this digital economy. Unlike speculative RWA projects, Landshare’s security tokens represent legal stakes in U.S. properties. Investors also earn passive income from rent.

Scarcity & Burns: With 5.34 million tokens (all circulating) and a burn mechanism on every RWA purchase, LAND is inherently deflationary in nature. In contrast, many competitors have no supply cap or burning mechanisms.

Real Properties Tokenized: Landshare has already sold 4 U.S. homes via BNB Smart Chain, with deeds tied to RWA Tokens. This shows its focus on actually profiting from real estate deals, unlike competitors relying primarily on hype for price growth. 

Revenue Model: Rental income and appreciation distributed to investors; with annual returns exceeding 8.7%.

BNB Chain Advantage: Ethereum’s gas fees make micro-investments impractical. Landshare’s BNB Chain base allows for fractional ownership and targets retail demand.

Undervalued Entry: At a $3.11 Million market cap, Landshare offers higher growth chances than other overvalued RWA competitors despite similar revenue streams.

SAFU Investment: Structured under U.S. regulatory guidelines, Landshare has given special importance to compliance and security.

Moreover, LAND has delivered consistent ROI through property appreciation and rental distributions. This undervalued status highlights a perfect opportunity for investors looking for projects with high potential.

Conclusion 

So, the road ahead is clear: tokenization will absorb a growing share of the $337T real estate market. For investors, these benefits offer balance and profitability:

Diversification: Allocate fractions of capital across global markets.
Liquidity
: Trade property shares 24/7 on secondary markets.
Transparency: Blockchain’s immutable ledger reduces fraud risk.

For U.S. projects, the challenge lies in scaling while maintaining compliance. This gap too has been filled by Landshare. With plans to expand its property portfolio, this RWA token allows users to invest in the real estate industry at low costs and earn high long-term gains.
