What Valad will be discussing
Valad Founder and CEO Eann Smith will join the event’s panel discussions, sharing his views on how real estate can move on-chain and the role structured finance can play in bringing institutional property markets into the digital financial ecosystem.
The discussion will explore the evolution of real-world asset tokenisation beyond simple fractional ownership, including how real estate-backed credit, structured products and income-producing assets can be brought onto blockchain infrastructure.
The opportunities in on-chain real estate
Eann will also discuss the opportunities created by on-chain real estate, from greater transparency and liquidity to the potential for assets to interact with collateral markets, secondary markets and the wider DeFi ecosystem.
For Valad, the opportunity is not simply to tokenise buildings. It is to develop institutional-grade real estate financial instruments that can operate within emerging on-chain capital markets, while retaining the underwriting, collateral and structural protections expected from traditional finance.
