RealEstate.Exchange (REX), a trading platform powered by DigiShares, has officially launched on Polygon PoS, becoming the first fully regulated exchange for tokenized real estate. With its debut, REX aims to solve one of the industry’s biggest challenges: the lack of liquidity.
The platform’s first listings include two high-end Miami properties: The Legacy Hotel & Residences, a 529-unit downtown tower developed by RPC and listed by FraXion, and Ascend Aventura, a 38-unit residential complex by Trade Estate. These listings mark the beginning of a new chapter for real estate investing, where users can buy and sell fractional property shares on-chain in a regulated environment.
"After years of developing real estate tokenization tools in over 40 countries, we saw the need for regulated secondary markets. With REX on Polygon PoS, we’re building the missing infrastructure to unlock true liquidity."
Claus Skaaning, CEO of DigiShares
A New Era for Real Estate
Tokenized real estate has long promised increased accessibility, but actual trading of these assets has remained limited. REX changes that by offering a compliant venue where retail investors can trade tokenized real estate assets just like stocks.
Backed by Texture Capital, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and operator of an SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS), REX is already live in the U.S. It is also pursuing licensing in the EU, UAE, and South Africa, with approvals expected by year-end.
Why Build on Polygon?
REX leverages the Polygon PoS chain for its low fees, fast settlements, and robust security. It also plans to be one of the first platforms to integrate Polygon AggLayer, enabling future interoperability and cross-chain liquidity.
"Real estate is the world’s largest asset class—but also one of the least liquid. REX is changing that by applying blockchain efficiency to a traditionally slow-moving market."
Boris Spremo, Head of BD at Polygon Labs
Completing the DigiShares Ecosystem
DigiShares has already helped tokenize over $100-200 million in property assets through its white-label solutions. With the launch of REX, the company now offers a full-stack ecosystem—from token issuance to secondary trading.
REX is currently in open beta with around 100 early users and plans to move into full production soon. An additional 5-6 property listings are expected in the coming weeks, spanning luxury, commercial, and residential categories.
