GIFT City Unveiling Real-World Asset Tokenization
In the heart of Gujarat, where tradition meets innovation, GIFT City emerges as a beacon of unprecedented financial and technological advancements. Imagine a place where businesses find a seamless path to growth, where the global finance and IT sectors converge in harmony. Welcome to GIFT City, the new hub of global finance and technology.
As the sun sets on conventional financial norms, GIFT City embraces a revolutionary concept – asset tokenization. Picture real-world assets transforming into digital tokens on the blockchain, unlocking trillions of dollars in value. In the next decade, the market value for tokenized assets is predicted to soar, ranging from $3.5 trillion in a bear-case scenario to a staggering $10 trillion in the bull case by 2030.
Hold your breath as GIFT City takes a bold stride into the future. In January 2024, it is set to launch its first regulated tokenization platform for real-world assets. The inaugural asset class? Real estate. But that’s just the beginning. Art, aircraft, and ships are poised to follow suit, creating an open door for foreign investors to fuel development projects within GIFT City.
Behind this transformative venture stands Collated, a real estate development firm, armed with innovation. Collaborating with Indian construction giant Savvy Group, they embark on a mission to raise $7 million through the tokenization of a building within the Gift City Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The exclusivity isn’t lost; there’s an approved list of eligible investee countries and a minimum net worth requirement of $150,000. It’s a unique approach, a lower hurdle than elsewhere, making GIFT City an attractive investment hub.
In the midst of this financial revolution, enter Terazo – a blockchain fintech born out of Collated’s vision. Positioned in the GIFT City sandbox, Terazo not only tokenizes assets on the Polygon blockchain but also provides a marketplace for these digital assets. The GIFT City Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) becomes the backbone, structuring investments and paving the way for a new era of financial possibilities.
But the excitement doesn’t end there. GIFT City, in collaboration with JP Morgan, experiments with tokenized cash. Utilizing JP Morgan’s Onyx JPM Coin blockchain-based bank accounts, GIFT City banks settle Rupee forex derivative contracts using tokenized U.S. dollars. The result? Dollar transactions 24/7, transcending the constraints of U.S. banking hours.
As the world watches, GIFT City emerges as a formidable competitor to global financial hubs like Singapore and Dubai. It’s not just about finance; it’s about rewriting the rules, creating a future where innovation knows no bounds. Brace yourself for a journey into the heart of GIFT City, where tradition is redefined, and the future unfolds in digital tokens and limitless possibilities.
