Based on the [Ethereum blockchain standard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockchain-project), Property Coin allows people to purchase a [cryptocurrency token](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptocurrency-payment-acceptance) that effectively turns them into real estate investors. Aperture envisions a reinvesting model in which half of the profits from its initial coin offering (ICO) will be ploughed into new [real estate investments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/property-purchase), ensuring that investors are always put in a position to rake in profits. By appealing to both traditional real estate investors as well as new cryptocurrency enthusiasts, the Property Coin crypto token aims to attract a broad array of investors looking to leverage blockchain technology to enjoy real estate profits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Real Estate-crypto Investment:** The trend of using cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to invest in real estate offers opportunities for creating a new breed of investment products and platforms. - **Reinvesting ICO Funds:** The trend of reinvesting profits from ICOs, using part of the proceeds to buy more properties, can create more efficient and profitable investment funds. - **Blockchain-based Finance Funds:** The trend of creating blockchain-based finance funds such as Property Coin, that offer a diversified real estate investment portfolio, can attract both traditional and cryptocurrency investors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** Industries in the real estate sector can adopt and offer cryptocurrency-backed investment products, to diversify and upscale their offerings, leveraging blockchain technology. - **Financial Services:** The creation of blockchain-based investment funds opens up new opportunities for financial institutions to invest in profitable real estate investment projects. - **Cryptocurrency and Blockchain:** The creation of property investment-backed cryptocurrency tokens opens up a new and lucrative investment type for blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Real Estate Co-Investor Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coproperly.md) - [Tokenized Real Estate Investments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokenized-real-estate-investments.md) - [Real-World Property NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-reality-realms.md) - [Next-Generation Cryptocurrency Ecosystems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptocurrency-ecosystem.md) - [AI-Powered Real Estate Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/property-search-platform.md) - [Real Estate NFT Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homejab.md) - [Cryptocurrency Savings Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coinwell-platform.md) - [Round-Up Investing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-estate-investing-app.md) - [Cryptocurrency Payment Acceptance Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptocurrency-payment-acceptance.md)
