A Game-Changing Partnership

On March 3, the digital finance world buzzed with news as tZERO ATS, a broker-dealer known for facilitating secondary trading of digital security tokens, announced a partnership with Earn.re, a commercial real estate and finance platform. This collaboration is poised to shake things up—imagine the potential of combining the liquidity of tZERO with the innovative property solutions offered by Earn.re!

Boosting Liquidity for Commercial Property Issuers

The wonderful thing about this partnership is that it allows property issuers on Earn.re to provide extra liquidity for trading their digital assets on tZERO ATS. Of course, all of this is subject to the usual due diligence—because who wants to dive headfirst into the deep end without checking for sharks first?

What is Earn.re Bringing to the Table?

Earn.re isn’t just your average platform. They specialize in digitizing real estate financing through blockchain technology, creating opportunities for issuing fractional shares of both debt and equity backed by commercial real estate. Essentially, it makes the process of investing in real estate as easy as pie—if pie were made of smart contracts and blockchain!

Voices of the Leaders

According to tZERO’s CEO, Saum Noursalehi, this partnership is more than just a strategic move; it’s a leap into the future:

“This alliance will increase tZERO’s exposure to forward-thinking commercial property issuers of digital securities that are seeking an innovative, liquidity solution.”

Meanwhile, Aaron Lohman, CEO of Earn, echoed similar sentiments. He highlighted the significance of digital securities, comparing their importance to that of a Swiss Army knife—versatile and essential in navigating the complex landscape of real estate financing:

“Earn is committed to ongoing technology and systems development… We believe digital securities are the future of the industry and are excited to partner with tZERO ATS.”

What’s Next for tZERO and Earn.re?

While the partnership has invigorated hopes for a rebound in security token trading activity—which experienced a downturn in 2020 with volumes plummeting—there is optimism in the air. By enhancing liquidity and accessibility in the market, they’re betting on a bright (and possibly profitable) future. Just imagine more people investing in commercial real estate without breaking a sweat! Or their wallets.
