RWA Adoption: How The Landshare-Roofstock Partnership Unlocks A Multi-Billion-Dollar Market

Trump’s second term has given fresh wind to the crypto space, which was already on the verge of a bull run after BTC and ETH ETFs were launched in the US. With Bitcoin nearing $100K, the rally has officially begun; RWA currently leads the race after institutions like BlackRock have entered the space. Landshare ($LAND) is an RWA project to keep an eye on, having freshly announced a partnership with crypto payment gateway ForumPay and online real estate marketplace Roofstock to make RWA investments easier for stablecoin holders. Roofstock is a leading online marketplace for real estate investments, facilitating over $3 billion in acquisitions since its launch in 2015. They’ve managed 25,000+ homes and are known for making real estate accessible to a global audience.

With the stablecoin market valued at $170 billion, stablecoins are already widely used for everyday purchases, leagues ahead of blue chip crypto like BTC and ETH in terms of mainstream adoption. In such a scenario, Landshare’s new partnership appeals to both crypto-native and traditional investors and brings diversification opportunities. ForumPay's stablecoin payment system, incorporated with Landshare, allows stablecoin holders direct access to Roofstock's property inventory without involving fiat conversions. 

RWA (real-world assets) is one of the strongest crypto sectors, with CoinGecko marking it as one of the top four crypto narratives in all three past quarters of 2024. A recent Tren Finance research report even shows financial industry titans like Standard Chartered expecting a $30 trillion valuation from the tokenized RWA space by 2030, so it’s safe to say that RWA is heating up.

Currently, the on-chain RWA industry amounts to up to $187 billion (with stablecoins), while RWA worldwide reaches a valuation of $800 trillion+. More real-world assets will be captured as the RWA tokenization space matures, setting the sector up for phenomenal growth. 

Several RWA tokens are pumping at the moment, namely $OM (Mantra), $ONDO (Ondo Finance), $XAUT (Tether Gold), and $LAND (Landshare), highlighting the potential of the on-chain RWA space. The real estate sector, in particular, is in high demand, brought on chain by projects like  Landshare, which has grown by 30% in the last 30 days. 

Landshare has the potential to rally almost 500% during the ongoing bull run. Why? Let’s find out.

Landshare brings $300 billion real estate market on-chain

RWA tokenization can tokenize any real-world asset, from real estate to commodities, artwork/music/manuscripts. DeFi platforms like Landshare and Ondo Finance tokenize these assets and convert their ownership rights into one or a series of tokens. Investors worldwide can easily access these assets, eliminating geographical and financial barriers.

RWA tokenization allows fractional ownership of an asset by turning it into multiple tokens on-chain. So, say, a house purchased by one big investor can now be bought by multiple investors with lower capital. So, markets previously inaccessible to many retail investors are now democratized. This is precisely what happens to the real estate market when projects like Landshare tokenize properties and make them available to investors worldwide.

The traditional real estate market is an illiquid one. Retail investors can rarely access them, especially when it’s real estate in bigger cities. However, RWA tokenization proves especially beneficial in this sector. Landshare tokenizes properties across the US, allowing investors a low threshold of $1. So now, investors from remote corners of the world can enrich their portfolios by investing in properties in the US without worrying about geographical entry barriers, and sellers don’t need to wait for one buyer to start accumulating capital. Several investors can now invest in one real estate property, increasing accessibility and liquidity.

Additional benefits? There are smart contracts in place of intermediaries, automating transactions and recording them in an immutable way on the blockchain. This way, no lengthy paperwork hinders the investment process, and it becomes cost-efficient.

Why is $LAND expected to gain traction?

We know that real estate is in high demand within the on-chain RWA space, elevating Landshare’s value as a DeFi platform. Moreover, Landshare is the first tokenized real estate platform based on BNB chain. The project offers fractional property ownership to investors, allowing people to enter with capital as low as $1.   

Aside from property tokenization, Landshare brings staking services and an engaged community ecosystem. The project has already put out two tokens: the $LAND token as its utility token, available on four CEXs (Gate.io, MEXC, BingX, and BitMart) and one DEX (PancakeSwap) so far, and the $LSRWA token for investors, which represents shares for properties listed on Landshare. Investors can now buy and hold $LSRWA for passive income from cash flow properties. 

Landshare brings strong fundamentals, being an RWA project in a market leaning towards innovative altcoins. Big institutions (such as BlackRock and Tether) enter the RWA tokenization space, recognizing its potential impact on mainstream finance. Considering the project operates in the high-demand real estate sector with four properties sold already, Landshare is an undervalued project so far, ideal for investors to enter now and hitch a ride when the price hikes. Some projects like Ondo Finance ($ONDO) tokenize real estate, among other things, but they have yet to sell any properties, unlike Landshare. 

Adding further to $LAND’s value is its recent partnership with Roofstock and ForumPay, which aims to give stablecoin holders easy access to tokenized real estate. This gives the sizable stablecoin market an easy gateway into RWA, benefitting the web3-native user base and allowing them portfolio diversification. 

As for technical indicators, the 20-day EMA shows a strong buy signal for $LAND. The RWA token recorded an ATH at $10, while its current price is $1.84. Amidst the bull run, $LAND is expected to grow by 500%, overtaking its current ATH amidst the partnership hype. We think it’s a good bargain at the current market cap. 

As always, remember to conduct your research before you invest.
