How to Invest in Tokenized Commodities and Real Estate
Gain fractional exposure to gold, silver, oil, and global real estate through tokenized assets on Midas.
Commodity tokens track a physical asset held in custody; real-estate tokens represent an interest in property or a property vehicle. Both add a layer the price chart does not show — storage, custody, valuation cadence — and real estate in particular is valued periodically rather than continuously, so the displayed price moves in steps.
Before you start
- Identity verification and eligibility in your jurisdiction.
- The disclosure for the specific token: what is held, by whom, and how it is valued.
- A holding period that matches an asset class that does not trade like crypto.
Navigate to Commodities or Real Estate
Open the RWA section and select Commodities or Real Estate. Commodities include tokenized gold, silver, oil, and agricultural products. Real Estate includes tokenized commercial and residential properties.
Understand Commodity Tokens
Tokenized commodities are backed by physical reserves held by regulated custodians. For example, a gold token represents a specific amount of physical gold in a vault. Proof of reserves and independent audits verify the backing. Prices track the spot commodity markets.
Understand Real Estate Tokens
Tokenized real estate represents fractional ownership in property. Token holders receive proportional rental income and participate in property value appreciation. Each property listing shows location, valuation, rental yield, occupancy rate, and management details.
Make an Investment
Choose a commodity or property, enter the investment amount, and confirm. For commodities, tokens are tradeable 24/7 with instant settlement. For real estate, rental income is distributed on-chain at regular intervals. Both can be sold on the secondary market for liquidity.
Important Disclosures
Commodity prices are volatile and subject to global market conditions. Real estate values can fluctuate and rental income is not guaranteed. Tokenized assets carry smart contract risk and regulatory risk. Diversification does not guarantee against loss. This is not investment advice.
If something goes wrong
- The price has not moved for days.
- Real-estate valuations update on a schedule rather than tick by tick. That is the asset class, not a stale feed.
- You cannot redeem for the physical commodity.
- Physical redemption is only available where the product explicitly offers it, usually above a minimum size. The disclosure is definitive.
- The token trades at a different price than the stated asset value.
- Market price and valuation are two different numbers, and a gap between them is normal in tokenized real assets. The disclosure explains how each is determined.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I own the underlying asset?
- You own an interest defined by the product structure, not a deed or a bar in your name. The disclosure sets out exactly what that interest is.
- Are there ongoing costs?
- Typically yes — storage, custody or management fees, disclosed per product and deducted from the value over time.
- How liquid are these tokens?
- Less liquid than major crypto, and liquidity varies by product. Assume you hold to the stated window rather than trading in and out.
- Are distributions paid on real-estate tokens?
- Where the structure generates income and the product distributes it, yes, on the schedule in the disclosure. Not every product distributes.
