Sector deep dives
Six sectors, each with its published size, the forces currently moving it, and an honest comparison between the traditional route and the tokenised one.
≈ $390 trillion
Third-party estimate of global real estate value (Savills, most recent published series)
Whole-market context—not a valuation of any Rwannie concept or a forecast of tokenised adoption.
The largest asset class on the planet, and the most divided. Well-located, energy-efficient and digital-infrastructure stock behaves very differently from ageing secondary stock facing refinancing.
Digital infrastructure demand
Data centre and connectivity assets absorb capital that once went to offices, driven by compute demand.
Refinancing pressure
Debt written in a low-rate era matures into a higher-rate one, which resets valuations more than rents do.
Efficiency premium
Certified, low-energy buildings increasingly rent and finance on better terms than non-compliant stock.
Traditional
High entry cost, slow exits measured in months, heavy reliance on bank debt, and pricing you only see at transaction.
Tokenised
Fractional participation, faster transfer where a venue exists, and exposure targeted at a single building type rather than a whole fund.
Composition of the sector
Shares are approximate, drawn from published third-party breakdowns and rounded.
The open question
Valuation frequency and who performs it remain the weakest link in most tokenised property structures.
Sector sizes and composition shares on this page come from published third-party research and are marked as assumptions, not live measurements. They are context for reading a concept, never a forecast of any outcome.
