Summary
Asset manager Kin Capital is launching a $100 million tokenized real estate debt fund on Chintai, a blockchain focused on real-world assets (RWAs), the parties told CoinDesk exclusively. The fund holds first performing real estate trust deeds, under which the property is held by a neutral, independent third-party trust until the underlying loan is repaid.
The launch will proceed in stages. The initial offering is a $5 million tranche, with further offerings planned through 2024 and early 2025. The fund is accessible to accredited investors with a minimum investment of $50,000. The projected return is 14%-15% annually, paid quarterly.
The offering reflects growing interest in tokenizing traditional investment vehicles to gain efficiency, lower costs and around-the-clock settlement. CoinDesk cited forecasts from Boston Consulting Group and 21Shares of more than $10 trillion in tokenized assets by the end of the decade in optimistic scenarios, while McKinsey projects $2 trillion in its base case, with broad adoption still distant.
Chintai is a layer-1 blockchain for tokenized real-world assets, powered by its native token CHEX. Chintai Network Services Pte Ltd, the network's ecosystem development firm, is licensed by MAS as a Capital Markets Services provider and Recognized Market Operator for primary issuance and secondary trading of digital securities, according to the project's white paper. A second business unit, Chintai Nexus, is based in the British Virgin Islands and issues non-security tokens. Kin Capital operates a blockchain-based marketplace for real estate-focused investment funds.
David Packham, CEO of Chintai, said the collaboration "bridges the gap between traditional finance and blockchain innovation" and gives accredited investors "unique opportunities to achieve stable and attractive returns in a rapidly evolving digital landscape."
