Crypto, Fintechs

Da Criptografia à Tokenização | O Que é Isso Tudo? (Não seja tímido pra perguntar)

Da Criptografia à Tokenização

Blockchain é uma parte importante da fintech e é claramente o futuro da fintech. Muitos serviços no setor de fintech no momento não são baseados em blockchain, mas isso vai mudar com o passar do tempo. Nós discutimos o que é blockchain, então se você ainda tiver alguma confusão, certifique-se de verificar o artigo anterior.

Criptomoedas

Bitcoin foi a primeira criptomoeda a chegar aos mercados. Foi lançado durante a crise financeira global de 2008 por um misteriosamente chamado Satoshi Nakamoto. Ninguém sabe sua verdadeira identidade, mas Satoshi Nakamoto pode muito bem ter empurrado a primeira pedra que deu início à atual revolução da criptografia.

O Bitcoin nos deu uma amostra do que os serviços financeiros descentralizados podem fazer. O bitcoin foi descartado nos primeiros anos, sim, ele foi capaz de gerar tração, mas o sistema bancário centralizado o descartou simplesmente porque o bitcoin simbolizava a criação de um sistema financeiro alternativo.

Este gráfico mostra o valor dos bitcoins de 2013 até o momento. De 2008 a 2017, o valor do bitcoin ficou abaixo da marca de $ 300 e então o bitcoin viu seu primeiro aumento de preço, seguido pela normalização do valor ou em outras palavras, uma queda. Dois anos depois, o bitcoin entrou em uma fase de alta que ainda está acontecendo.

Agora, o bitcoin não é a única criptomoeda que existe. O objetivo do bitcoin era mostrar que você pode criar sua própria moeda, desde que siga os protocolos básicos. Isso levou à criação de Ethereum e outras criptomoedas e logo os empresários perceberam que podem usar a criação de moedas para arrecadação de fundos.

Então, em vez de lançar suas ideias para VCs e outros investidores, as startups começaram a lançar suas ideias para o público em geral. O crowdfunding, portanto, resultou na criação de ICOs ou Oferta Inicial de Moedas, onde as startups deram um certo número de moedas aos investidores para financiá-las. Em troca, os investidores poderiam se beneficiar do aumento no valor das moedas, à medida que a startup começou a gerar lucros.

Isso parece bom no papel, mas conforme a mania da ICO se espalhou, todas as startups começaram a optar pela oferta de moedas em vez de seguir a rota de financiamento mais convencional. A rota de financiamento convencional para startups tem mecanismos à prova de falhas para os investidores e esses mecanismos existem por uma razão. Esses mecanismos filtram as startups que não descobriram sua estratégia e linha de ação e forçam os empreendedores a tornar suas startups mais resilientes.

Ao passar para as ICOs, muitos empresários conseguiram contornar esses mecanismos e filtros à prova de falhas. Como resultado, muitas startups que optaram por ICOs acabaram fracassando e os investidores começaram a perder seus investimentos. Muitas dessas falhas eram genuínas, mas também houve algumas pessoas que se aproveitaram da falta de filtros e realizaram ICOs fraudulentos, onde prometeram uma coisa e não cumpriram.

Isso aconteceu porque as moedas não são essencialmente apoiadas por nenhum ativo tangível. Como resultado, a mania da OIC logo se extinguiu, era promissora, mas havia muitos inconvenientes para que continuasse. Embora isso tenha impedido o crescimento de blockchain e fintech, não o impediu. A indústria logo percebeu os problemas e encontrou uma solução.

Os tokens de segurança ou STO’s

Os tokens de segurança são emitidos no blockchain exatamente como moedas, mas são apoiados por um ativo do mundo real. Portanto, eles representam a forma digitalizada de um ativo do mundo real. As moedas oferecidas por startups, por outro lado, não eram apoiadas por nada substancial.

Os tokens de segurança agem de maneira muito semelhante aos compartilhamentos. Você compra um token de segurança e, em troca, obtém o direito ao fluxo de receita associado a esse token. Ofertas de tokens de segurança (OSTs) são equivalentes aos IPOs nos mercados de ações. O processo de um STO é regulado por uma bolsa de valores, as empresas que se candidatam a um STO têm de passar pelos procedimentos de conformidade adequados e este processo é à prova de falhas e tem filtros para evitar todos os problemas que ocorreram com ICOs.

Sim, os tokens de segurança ainda podem ser usados para crowdfunding, mas como são respaldados por ativos do mundo real, eles têm valor. Além disso, o processo de tokenização de um ativo envolve autoridades regulatórias. O que torna os tokens de segurança inerentemente mais seguros em comparação com as ofertas de moedas.

A tokenização é um processo por meio do qual os direitos de um ativo do mundo real são digitalizados e vendidos na forma de tokens de segurança para compradores interessados. Como é evidente, o processo de tokenização de qualquer ativo exige que as autoridades regulatórias dêem sinal verde. Isso torna os tokens de segurança mais seguros e compatíveis com as leis e regulamentações relevantes.

A tokenização, portanto, tem o melhor dos dois mundos. Ele leva adiante os benefícios dos ICOs sem nenhuma das desvantagens e também possui as características dos ativos do mundo real. Você pode tokenizar qualquer coisa, desde uma peça de arte até um hotel inteiro. A tokenização, portanto, tem o potencial de desbloquear grandes quantidades de liquidez e democratizar o financiamento para todos.

A jornada do blockchain do Bitcoin para outras criptomoedas, para ICOs e agora para a tokenização levou mais de uma década. Os investidores e partes interessadas estão começando a entender o verdadeiro potencial da revolução fintech e, com o passar do tempo, novas inovações irão acelerar ainda mais essa revolução, trazendo soluções que vão mudar a sociedade do futuro.

Você está se juntando a esta nova revolução?

S64 and Invesco launch new European real estate fund for Private Wealth channel

2024-09-17T08:00:00Z

LONDON, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- S64, the global alternative investments fintech and solutions partner to the wealth management industry, and Invesco Asset Management Limited (Invesco), the US$1.7 trillion global investment management firm, have announced a partnership to broaden access to Invesco Real Estate’s European III Fund to the wealth management industry in Europe and Asia.

The new European Real Estate III Feeder Fund (Europe III Feeder) invests in Invesco’s dedicated value-add and opportunistic strategy – Invesco Real Estate Europe III (Europe III). The Europe III Feeder follows Invesco’s focus on enabling High Net Worth investors to invest in institutional quality real estate targeting high returns through an innovative digital distribution platform built by S64.

The Europe III Fund seeks to capitalise on an attractive entry point to fundamental, long-term value creation. The fund held its first close with EUR 400m, and is targeting up to EUR 1 billion of investor commitments, as it builds on Invesco Real Estate’s European value-add track record and the success of two previous funds. Overall, the value-add strategies have completed 39 investments across six sectors in 10 countries, with 21 realised investments delivering a 35% gross IRR and 1.7x gross EM.1 Consistent with Invesco’s ESG principles, more than 80% of the invested capital from the last two capital raises has been allocated to investments achieving high ESG certifications.”

Simon Redman, Managing Director – Head of Wealth and DC at Invesco Real Estate commented: “We are delighted to be partnering with S64 to bring the Europe III Feeder to private wealth investors. In Europe, there is a disconnect between two cycles — the traditional real estate cycle linked to fundamentals, which remains on a sound footing, and the capital markets cycle which is driven by sharply higher interest rates and a lack of liquidity. We believe the resulting pricing correction has created a buying opportunity for investors able to see through the short-term noise.”

Tarun Nagpal, Founder and CEO of S64, commented: “We are proud to be partnering with a global investment leader such as Invesco to support the delivery of the Invesco Real Estate Europe III to the wealth management industry in Europe and Asia. This partnership signals the latest step in the evolution of private markets as S64’s market-leading product manufacturing capabilities and cutting-edge technology platform is fused with Invesco’s asset management capabilities to optimize access for private wealth clients looking to invest in alternatives.”

Risk warnings
For complete information on risks, refer to the legal documents. The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

Real estate investments can be illiquid and difficult to sell, and the fund may not be able to sell its assets when desired and at the intended price.
The value of the investments is generally determined by an independent valuer’s opinion and may not be realizeable. The value of real estate loans may be significantly influenced by the value of the underlying real estate. Real estate investments are generally not listed on any market and need to be valued via the application of appropriate models (potentially applied by independent experts): this may lead to valuations which may not be reflected in transaction prices.
Changes in market rents, net operating incomes, interest rates, FX rates, market trends and general economic conditions may result in fluctuations of the value of the assets, of the relevant portfolio and of the level of cash-flows generated by the fund's portfolio; fixed-rate loans with long maturities are more exposed to value fluctuations in reaction to interest rates' movements.
The fund may use derivatives and borrowings, which may result in the fund being significantly leveraged and may result in large fluctuations in the value of the invested capital.
Real estate investments and portfolios are exposed to counterparty risk, which is the risk that a counterparty is unable to deal with its obligations.
Real estate loans are exposed to credit risk which is the risk of inability of the borrower to repay the interest and capital on the scheduled dates and at maturity. Loans or loans’ tranches with lower seniority (mezzanine, junior) bear a higher credit risk as those loans sit behind more senior ones in the repayment queue; the risk may be exacerbated in times of stress and in case of underperforming loans. Loans with high loan to value ratios (LTVs) or those secured on development assets are generally viewed as more risky than those with low LTVs or those secured on income-generating assets. Commercial mortgage lending is generally viewed as greater risk than residential mortgage lending since the repayment typically depends upon the successful operation of the underlying properties.
Real estate investments can be exposed to sustainability-related regulatory requirements and trends that may negatively affect the value of investments which are not compliant. This may lead to a requirement for significant capital expenditure in order to meet mandated standards or characteristics.
In addition, real estate investments can be also significantly exposed to negative economic effects stemming from climate change, natural disasters and the general investors' preference for assets with better sustainability features.
Real estate investments are labour-intensive and require a significant amount of human/manual input and activities, and may therefore be exposed to several types of operational risk that may affect activities such as administration, operations, reporting obligations and many others.
On top of typical real estate related risks, investments in real estate operating companies and in real estate platforms may embed governance and business risks that, if materialized, may negatively affect the value of the investments and the cash-flows generated.
