Fluidity Factora to Utilize Dai Stablecoin in Security Token Offering

Factor-805

Fluidity Factora has announced their intent to tokenize a real estate opportunity in Brooklyn, New York. This property, being called Factor-805, is a 37-unit residential building. It represents one of the first projects to offer fractionalized ownership in U.S. based real estate, through the use of both digital securities and stablecoins.

For those investors that take part in the upcoming STO, a yield of 13.24% is expected upon maturity.

DAI

Along with STOs, stablecoins have commonly been noted as a hot trend for 2019 onward. This development further cements that notion. DAI is a stablecoin, representing the hard work of issuer MakerDAO. This stablecoin will allow for the efficient onboarding of investors, in addition to a new avenue for dividend distribution.

The use of a stablecoin like DAI is reminiscent of the BTG Pactual STO, which will see the Gemini stablecoin utilized in much the same manner.
