Tokinvest and API Global Partner to Unlock Tokenised Real Estate Access

DUBAI, UAE: Tokinvest, the Dubai-based regulated platform enabling global access to real-world asset investments, has announced a strategic partnership with API Global, a UK property investment and distribution firm that has facilitated more than $2 billion in real estate transactions since inception.

The collaboration combines API Global’s extensive experience in sourcing and distributing high-performing real estate assets with Tokinvest’s licensed digital issuance platform, unlocking fractional, tokenised access to premium global property investments.

Bridging Traditional and Digital Property Markets

According to Deloitte, the global real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach $4 trillion by 2035, up from less than $0.3 trillion in 2024, marking a 27% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). As adoption accelerates, the Tokinvest–API Global partnership positions both companies at the forefront of the shift toward digital asset-backed investing.

Scott Thiel, CEO and Co-Founder of Tokinvest, said:

“This collaboration represents the next chapter in property investing. For too long, the best deals have been reserved for the few. Together with API Global, we’re opening up access so more people can invest like the 1%, in the same world-class assets, but with far lower barriers to entry.”

Under the agreement, API Global will serve as Tokinvest’s strategic adviser and distribution partner, identifying institutional-grade real estate opportunities and introducing them to a wide network of wealth managers, family offices, and private investors. Once tokenised on Tokinvest’s regulated platform, these assets will be made accessible globally — providing investors with fractional ownership, liquidity, and transparency.

A Regulated Gateway to Real-World Assets

Michael Leighton, Founder and Owner of API Global, said:

“Our clients are increasingly seeking property investments that combine yield, liquidity, and transparency. Tokinvest’s technology makes that possible within a fully regulated framework — it’s the evolution of property investment.”

The announcement follows Tokinvest’s recent approval from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), where it became one of the first companies to receive a multi-asset Cat1 ARVA Issuance and Broker-Dealer Licence. This licence enables Tokinvest to issue, broker, and manage tokenised real-world assets across multiple sectors, including property, private credit, and alternative investments.

Unlocking a New Era of Accessibility

As property markets worldwide continue to evolve and traditional entry barriers remain high, tokenisation is rapidly emerging as the bridge between exclusivity and inclusivity. Through this partnership, Tokinvest and API Global aim to democratise access to institutional-quality real estate, allowing investors of all sizes to participate in opportunities once reserved for the ultra-wealthy.
