#FractionalOwnership

🔗 The digitization of traditional finance, powered by blockchain, is creating an appetite for new assets and driving fractionalization ownership.

🍰 Everything from artwork to classic cars, broken into bite-sized pieces, is becoming accessible to investors at much lower prices.

The future of investing includes Birkins and JLo's Versace dress

👜 Platforms like Luxus are allowing everyone to invest fractionally in Birkins and Rolexes, traditionally considered for the rich.

👗 It also plans to offer JLo's iconic green Versace dress with 10-15% returns.

🍟 People can own fractional shares of McDonald's, Amazon, or Starbucks when they shop at these retailers with TAB Bank's new debit card.

Fractional ownership and 'unreal estate'

🍕 Fractional real estate startups allow you to own a percentage of a property and get into housing without providing a house.

🏠 Jeff Bezos-backed Arrived lets people buy shares in single-family rentals for $100; Fintor, Fractional, & Pacaso make real estate accessible through co-ownership.

🏖️ Here, a startup, wants to let people buy ownership shares in vacation rentals for as little as $1.

Fractional ownership is catching on — across the wealth gap

🚪 Fractional ownership can be an entry point to the stock market for the economically marginalized as many seek investments that pay off during a recession.

🤑 The ultra-rich, on the other hand, are getting income tax reductions by fractionally donating art they own to museums over a long period.
