Securitize crosses $1B issued tokens, $38B across 715 funds
Securitize has crossed $1B in issued tokens and administers $38B across 715 funds. End-to-end RWA tokenization platform linking primary issuance and secondary marketplaces. Target: institutional and accredited investors. Business model: platform + administration fees. Berick differentiation: luxury real estate focus, Spain/Marbella market, fiat+crypto from day one.
Global RWA Tokenization Exceeds $12B (March 2026), Deloitte Forecasts $4T by 2035
Total value of tokenized real-world assets onchain exceeded $12B by March 2026, up from ~$5B at start of 2025. Deloitte forecasts tokenized real estate will reach $4T by 2035, growing at 27% annually. Largest segments: $2.4T tokenized CRE loans/securitizations, $1T tokenized private real estate funds, $500M from undeveloped land/construction. CRE leads because of large ticket sizes, predictable income (5-15yr leases), and chronic liquidity problem.
Why it matters
The market is scaling fast ($12B → projected $4T). Berick is entering at the right time but must move fast. CRE tokenization is the main event — not residential. The $4T addressable market validates the opportunity. Competition is heating up but market is still early enough for differentiation.
Suggested action
Execute: The market validation is clear. Berick should accelerate deployment to capture market share before competitors (RedSwan, new entrants) consolidate. Focus on unique asset sourcing (Spanish luxury) and faster investor onboarding.

Consolidation in the Spanish FO space signals both increased sophistication and potential advisory gaps during transitions — a window for new relationships.
Suggested action

$1.2B European RWA Fund Launches with Luxembourg AIFMD Compliance, Tokenizes Commercial Real Estate
A new $1.2B real-world asset fund has launched, fully tokenizing European commercial real estate under Luxembourg's AIFMD framework and EU tokenized asset guidelines. The fund targets professional investors across the EU and marks accelerating convergence between traditional real estate finance and blockchain infrastructure.
Why it matters
Direct competitor to Berick's space. Luxembourg AIFMD compliance means this fund meets EU regulatory standards for institutional distribution. The scale ($1.2B) signals strong institutional appetite for tokenized European CRE.
Suggested action
Analyze fund structure, investor base, and asset selection. Identify differentiation opportunities — Berick can emphasize Spanish luxury real estate, faster execution, or better terms.
World Gold Council Unveils Standardization Framework for Tokenized Gold Markets
The WGC has introduced a new standardization framework for tokenized gold markets, outlining how gold can be issued, traded and settled in digital form. The framework aims to bring institutional-grade infrastructure to tokenized gold, addressing custody, settlement and interoperability concerns.
Why it matters
Standardization by authoritative body accelerates institutional adoption. Tokenized gold is one of the largest RWA categories. A clear framework removes friction for institutions considering gold-backed tokens — potentially expanding the market and setting precedent for other asset classes including real estate.
Suggested action
Monitor how the framework is adopted by custodians and exchanges. Consider how Berick can leverage similar standardization efforts in real estate.

The European Central Bank held rates at 4.0% in its March meeting. Notably, President Lagarde's language shifted from "higher for longer" to acknowledging data-dependency, signalling a potential June cut if disinflation continues.
Why it matters
A June ECB rate cut would significantly reprice European fixed income and affect leverage strategies used by FO and PE clients. Implications for real estate valuations in Spain.
Suggested action
Monitor June meeting positioning. Prepare a rate sensitivity brief for real estate-heavy clients.

600-Bank Network Adopts Tokenized Deposits in Major TradFi-Crypto Bridge
Tokenized deposits issued by Custodia and Vantage Bank will now be used within Participate, a loan-sharing network of approximately 600 financial institutions. The move represents a top-down infrastructure play — blockchain layered onto existing banking systems for faster settlement and automated reconciliation, without replacing traditional finance.
Why it matters
Mainstream banking infrastructure is adopting tokenized deposits at scale. Unlike stablecoins, these carry banking regulatory protections. The Participate network provides immediate distribution to 600 institutions — a significant bridge between TradFi and crypto. Shows that tokenization is winning as distribution play, not just tech play.
Suggested action
Track adoption trajectory. Monitor how quickly other banking networks adopt similar frameworks. The 600-bank network validates onchain deposits as legitimate banking infrastructure.
