Homium and Securitize Launch Tokenized Home Equity Loans on Avalanche

Apr 16, 2024, 01:03 PM

Homium, a real-estate equity mortgage lender, has initiated the issuance of tokenized home equity loans on the Avalanche blockchain platform. This innovative approach, reported by Ledesma Lyllah and facilitated by Securitize, allows homeowners to borrow against their home equity through shared appreciation notes (SANs), which are aimed at institutional and accredited investors. Unlike traditional Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs), these loans enable homeowners to commit a portion of their home's future price appreciation as repayment. The move represents a significant step in asset tokenization, particularly within the residential real estate sector, which is considered the largest asset class.
