In a move that signals growing institutional confidence in the tokenization of real-world assets, VanEck Ventures has led a new funding round for Manifest, a startup focused on transforming real estate through blockchain technology.
Manifest aims to redefine how we invest in property by converting traditional real estate assets into blockchain-based tokens. These tokens can represent fractional ownership, allowing investors to gain exposure to property markets without the need for large capital or intermediaries. The funding round, spearheaded by VanEck Ventures, is a strategic endorsement of Manifest’s vision to make real estate investment more accessible, transparent, and liquid.
The partnership is especially significant as interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization grows across the financial sector. While tokenization has seen early adoption in art, collectibles, and stablecoins, real estate is now emerging as one of the most promising frontiers for this technology. According to industry forecasts, the market for tokenized assets could surpass $10 trillion by the end of the decade—real estate being a key driver.
By backing Manifest, VanEck is not only supporting a cutting-edge platform but also positioning itself at the forefront of a financial revolution. This collaboration aims to streamline property transactions, reduce entry barriers, and bring unprecedented liquidity to one of the world’s most illiquid markets.
As blockchain infrastructure matures and regulatory clarity improves, partnerships like this are likely to accelerate. Manifest’s focus on regulatory compliance, user-friendly platforms, and secure asset-backed tokens gives it a strong foundation to lead the charge in modernizing real estate investment.
With VanEck Ventures now in its corner, Manifest is well-equipped to take on the next phase of its journey—transforming brick-and-mortar assets into borderless digital opportunities. It’s a clear sign that tokenized real estate is not a distant dream, but an emerging reality.
