StraightUp, an innovative real estate–focused platform giving investors access to previously unavailable development opportunities, announced today a merger with Slice, the first blockchain-based REIT for investors around the world. The merger will disrupt the real estate investing space, providing increased transparency and liquidity backed by secure blockchain technology and the tokenization of securities, opening new doors for international investors interested in prime U.S. real estate.
StraightUp was designed to democratize access to previously unattainable high-potential investment opportunities in New York City. As a result of merging with Slice, the new and improved platform will give international investors access to premium equity opportunities in desirable cities across the country, including New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Slice’s secure blockchain-powered platform allows foreign investors to immediately own equity in developments, providing a layer of security and trust.
