ScienceSoft, a Texas‑based AI and software engineering firm, projects that the worldwide market for tokenized real estate could be worth as much as $3 trillion by 2030. The firm also expects tokenized assets to account for roughly 15% of total real‑estate assets under management at that time.
The projection follows a 2026 report released by FinanceWire, a McKinney, USA‑based news service. ScienceSoft has operated in the investment‑technology space since 2007 and released the forecast through its media and analyst relations specialist, Alexa Tsviatkova.
According to the report, institutional investors and high‑net‑worth individuals already view tokenized real estate as a leading emerging asset class, removing demand‑side uncertainty. The technology for creating digital property tokens has moved beyond experimental pilots; owners and managers are actively testing and deploying tokenization platforms.
Growth, the study notes, will hinge less on further technical breakthroughs and more on regulatory clarity and market‑infrastructure development. Current securities regulations limit broader participation, while evolving frameworks are seen as essential to accelerate adoption.
A major unresolved issue is secondary‑market liquidity. Fragmented trading venues and limited interoperability hinder the ability of investors to buy and sell tokenized property holdings efficiently.
The research examines the trade‑off between custom‑built and off‑the‑shelf tokenization solutions, the impact of compliance on platform architecture, and the options available for primary issuance and secondary trading. It also outlines potential disruptions and opportunities for investors, property sellers, asset managers, brokers, REITs, mortgage providers and technology vendors.
