Real Caribe Recap From Blockchain Week New York

This past decade has been one of the fastest growing 10-year periods in the history of the Dominican Republic’s economy, and that’s due to several reasons. Our team shared that prospect of growth with the entire world on one of the largest stages when we attended Blockchain Week New York last month.

During the week, Real Caribe attended two amazing events, ASDToken New York, hosted by Steve Nson from Any Sized Deals, as well as Blockchain NYC’s Crypto Summit.

(You can scroll to the bottom to see some pictures we took from the week).

Below I share some of the takeaways that I learned from New York while I was there:

2019 is the Year of Enterprise in Blockchain: Forbes mentioned it in an article, but I saw this first hand in New York City: 2019 is the year of enterprise for blockchain. On the demo floor at Consensus, you could’ve seen speakers and personnel from places like IBM, Amazon, Microsoft, Deloitte, and many other Fortune 100 companies. The suite-and-tie corporate ethos of the week is different than how it was in year’s past. However, it marks what might be a positive turning point for the industry. More money does equal more decision makers, however, it also equals more funding. Tokenization of real estate is REAL: We’re a little partial to this trend, but the tokenization of real estate is coming… not… it has ARRIVED. Look at events like Any Size Deals New York’s ASDToken event. ASDToken New York was held at the five-star Williamsburg Hotel in Brooklyn. The event included speakers from leading institutions across the world, such as professors from New York University and Colombia University, as well as veteran government officials from New York’s TOUGH regulatory landscape. They all came together in one room to have intimate conversations about blockchain, real estate, and tokenization. Investors are 100% interested in the Dominican Republic: Since 2012, the Dominican Republic has had a steadily rising economy. According to the World Bank, from 2008 to 2018, the DR’s economy has risen steadily at over 5% per annum. Not bad! That leaves fertile ground for investors looking to gain market entry in Latin America’s 8th largest economy. At Real Caribe, we’re tokenizing a hotel with over 20 units that with an expected annual return of 11.5%. This is the perfect opportunity to invest in one of the world’s fastest growing markets.
