Inside The Network
🔸What we’re watching: ASX Capital said Prism Real Estate has signed a deal to sell the FJC Apartments complex, concluding the lifecycle of the FJC Apartments tokenized real estate NFT issued on Core DAO. The sale would give holders the choice to be paid 125 CORE tokens for each NFT they possess.
🔸Why it matters: Originally minted for 20 CORE, the FJC tokenized asset distributed monthly rent-based dividends to NFT holders throughout the time they owned the asset.
Proceeds of 125 CORE would represent a premium of 525% over the initial mint price of 20 CORE.
Since both dividends and final proceeds are denominated in CORE, realized returns are influenced by property performance and the market price of CORE at the time distributions are received.
ASX said holders can either transfer their NFT before the snapshot date of February 25 to receive the CORE payout, or continue holding and automatically roll their exposure into ASX Capital’s next tokenized property offering.
🔸The bigger picture: Tokenized real estate is a form of real-world asset (RWA) in which economic rights to a physical property, such as rental income and eventual sale proceeds, are represented digitally on-chain. The property itself is managed off-chain through traditional real estate structures, and blockchain infrastructure facilitates ownership tracking and automated distributions to token holders.
For Core, initiatives like FJC result in activity that’s tied to tangible cash-generating assets rather than purely digital or DeFi-native yield. By linking onchain ownership rails with off-chain property management, tokenized real estate combines the accessibility of blockchains with the stability traditionally associated with rental-backed income.
