NFT Investments PLC
("NFT Investments" or the "Company")
Capital investment into real estate platform Blimp Homes
NFT Investments PLC, (AQSE: NFT), an investment company
specialising in non-fungible tokens ("NFTs") , is pleased to
announce an investment of US$700,000 into Blimp Technologies Inc.,
trading as Blimp Homes ("Blimp"), a first-of-its-kind,
decentralised real estate collaboration and search platform.
The investment is being made as part of a US$1 million private
equity fund-raising by Blimp, which is incorporated in Canada.
Blimp's platform rewards homebuyers, sellers, and real estate
professionals for collaborating and contributing value to a
tokenised network established by the Home Network Foundation (
"Foundation"). It assists all parties in a property transaction
with seamless searching, communication, and transaction features,
while incentivising them with digital tokens.
Blockchain technology represents an opportunity to restructure
inefficiencies in the real estate market with regards to
intermediary involvement and a lack of data transparency
surrounding leads and transactions. The HOME Token builds on
decentralised blockchain technology and acts as a reward to align
value flows more broadly and fairly in the transactional
ecosystem.
Matt Shaw, co-founder and chief executive of Blimp, said: "The
traditional real estate model is fundamentally broken. By
empowering customers, real estate agents, and other professionals
to engage in direct, peer-to-peer collaboration, we can eliminate
many of the stresses, delays, and disappointments that plague the
homebuying process, and we are proud to have the support of NFT
Investments in our pursuit of reinventing how homes are bought and
sold ."
Jonathan Bixby, Executive Chairman of NFT, said: "I am very
pleased to announce our investment into Blimp Homes and our second
investment to date. Blimp is operating in a fast-growing area that
will bring the much-needed benefits of a decentralised marketplace
to the real estate sector creating more transparency and
efficiency. This technology has wide-ranging benefits and the
potential to revolutionise the house buying process and generate
significant value. We are proud to invest in Blimp."
