Tokinvest partners with API Global to unlock tokenised real estate for a new generation of investors

Shared 04 November, 2025

Tokinvest, the regulated platform making real-world asset investing accessible globally, has announced a strategic partnership with API Global, a UK-based property investment and distribution company that has transacted over $2 billion in real estate since its inception. The partnership combines API Global’s track record in sourcing and selling high-performing property assets with Tokinvest’s newly licensed digital issuance platform, enabling investors to access prime real estate opportunities through secure, fractionalised tokens.

According to Deloitte, $4 trillion of real estate is expected to be tokenised by 2035, up from less than $0.3 trillion in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of 27%. As the market accelerates, the Tokinvest-API Global collaboration will help bridge the gap between traditional property investment and the next generation of accessible, digital assets.

“This collaboration represents the next chapter in property investing,” said Scott Thiel, CEO and Co-Founder of Tokinvest. “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 act as a strategic adviser and distribution partner for Tokinvest, identifying investment-grade real estate projects and introducing them to its extensive network of wealth managers, family offices, and independent investors. Once tokenised via Tokinvest’s regulated platform, these assets will be available to investors globally, offering fractional access to opportunities that were once out of reach.

“Our clients are increasingly looking for ways to diversify and access property investments that offer yield, liquidity, and transparency,” said Michael Leighton, Founder and Owner of API Global. “Tokinvest’s technology makes that possible within a fully regulated framework, it’s the evolution of property investment.”

The partnership follows Tokinvest’s recent milestone as one of the first companies to be granted a multiasset Issuance Licence by the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). The Cat1 ARVA Issuance and Broker Dealer licence enables Tokinvest to issue, broker, and manage tokenised real-world assets across categories including property, private credit, and alternative investments.

As property markets evolve and financial barriers remain high, tokenisation offers a bridge between exclusivity and accessibility, allowing investors everywhere to participate in opportunities once limited to institutional players and high-net-worth individuals. API Global has facilitated over $2 billion in property transactions since 2013, connecting leading developers with investors across more than 40 international markets through its end-to-end advisory and distribution services.
