AKRU’s commercial real estate investment platform uses blockchain technology to create a secure and easy-to-use marketplace. AKRU offers investors the opportunity for fractionalized ownership for as low as $1,000 in the form of security tokens. The platform’s technology enables instantaneous transactions to be recorded on an immutable ledger, building investor trust. Tokenization shortens the transaction cycle and is able to compress the closing and settlement period of assets to mere seconds – making the world’s largest investment class more accessible and liquid for investors. Since launching the paid beta in October 2020, AKRU has secured 14 assets and over 50 investors for the marketplace. AKRU relaunched its platform in March of 2021 as the Title Sponsor for the Security Token Summit. Akru has been mentioned in major publications like Coin Telegraph, Investor.com, securities.io & Business Journals.
