Real Estate Tokenisation in WA
2024-07-11 17:30 - 20:30 | Riff, 45 St Georges Tce, Perth, Australia
RWA Regional Hub Perth invites you to a presentation about real estate tokenisation in Perth. Whether you are part of a tokenisation project, looking to brainstorm new ideas, or simply want to share your project, please join us. If you are in real estate and want to understand how tokenisation could add value to your daily business, please join us. And to all investors who wish to meet like-minded individuals and dive into the world of DeFi, real estate, and crypto, this is the place to be.
Perth is now officially Australia’s capital city for PropTech, aiming to achieve $1 billion in investments in property technologies. This announcement was made by 18th Lord Mayor of City of Perth Basil Zempilas and Cullum Ashton at the recent PropTech Hub WA Awards Night.
Where does this leave real estate tokenisation on Australia’s roadmap? Supported by Cygnet West PropTech Hub WA and Radium Capital Blocksquare’s real estate tokenisation SaaS solutions received the ‘Emerging PropTech of the Year 2024’ award.
What was once a vision is slowly becoming a reality for the real estate industry. Blocksquare has tokenised 125 properties in 21 countries to date. Once a property has been tokenised, several things can be done. You might sell it, stake it on DeFi platforms, or use it as collateral in future transactions.
Blocksquare is not the only solution for real estate tokenisation, but it offers a unique approach in its tokenisation infrastructure, embracing the blockchain’s potential for increased flexibility, speed, liquidity, and community participation.
Let’s discuss the challenges, opportunities, and necessary changes to make WA not only the PropTech capital but also Australia’s emerging city for RWA and blockchain in real estate!

We want to understand what the barriers are to decarbonising the production of green metals. We also want to know what would encourage new investment in these sectors.
Your response will help guide policy development to support an Australian green metals industry and contribute to a Future Made in Australia.
Insights from the consultation will also inform the Australian Government’s Net Zero Plan, including the Industrial Sector Plan. This plan will consider the opportunities and barriers to decarbonising metals production.
We are seeking informed views, data and analysis from organisations and communities, including:

industry
think tanks
research organisations
unions
state and local governments.
