 A MESSAGE FROM TOKENIZETHIS

Have you registered for TokenizeThis yet? If not, what are you waiting for? TokenizeThis is STMā€™s inaugural 3-day conference starting on our birthday, October 11th! The agenda is being carefully curated to include the most sought-after topics and those best positioned to speak on them.

Whoā€™s speaking?

Keep an eye out on LinkedIn and Twitter for speaker cards announcing the panelists and keynotes like the one above! We want as many of you to be able to make it so weā€™ve decided to make TokenizeThis fully virtual (no travel needed) and FREE to attend.

šŸ« Tokenization in the Desert: Dubaiā€™s $10B Desert Pearl

If youā€™ve been following STM for a while now, youā€™ll remember us preaching the fact that you can tokenize just about anythingā€¦ well hereā€™s another exciting example!

Among many things, Dubai is very well known for its amazing architecture and luxury such as as the Burj Khalifa. This past week, at the Burj Khalifa, DDX Global and Zhuzh Designs announced a new resort: The Desert Pearl. The best part: It will be tokenized!

This futuristic development will have hotel rooms, apartments, entertainment, and retail shopping all in the middle of the desert. Want a piece of this? According to their website, DDX is offering 3 types of tokens (each with different rights and benefits):

  • Land Tokens

  • Hotel Tokens

  • Apartment Tokens

Some points from their deck include:

In the short term it will behave like a crypto project, so may be more speculative. This is good for traders.

In the long term, the price should align to real-world pricing as established by 3rd party commercial agents. This is good for investors seeking growth with wealth protection.

This is a development project with an asset-backed token - development takes time (5 years is likely).

Long-term growth expectations should be ā€œrealisticā€ (300% to 500%).

This isnā€™t the first time weā€™ve seen hotels get tokenized by the way! Past examples include the St. Regis Aspen and their token buybacks, the Candela Villas in Mexico, and Ryokan Hotel in Japan to name a few!

STM will keep and eye out for further developments, news about the actual investment process, and of course track all $10B of it on STM.Co when it starts trading!
