What SolidBlock does

SolidBlock, operating commercially as DIBS Capital, is a blockchain-based tokenization platform that converts real estate assets and equity-backed securities into digital shares. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Miami Beach, the company pioneered commercial real estate tokenization, beginning with the St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, CO, a deal it describes as the industry standard. In December 2020, SolidBlock formed a joint venture with Viant Capital, a FINRA-licensed broker-dealer, creating DIBS Capital as a distributed investment banking platform. The same year, the company listed $150 million in real estate security tokens on the INX digital securities exchange.

The company's core technology is the TokenSuite platform, which handles the issuance, management, and allocation of security tokens on blockchain infrastructure. The platform integrates compliance functionality directly into the token workflow, including automated KYC/AML whitelists, books and records, distribution of funds, and financial due diligence. SolidBlock holds a Real Estate Innovations Overview 2021 recognition for its contribution to democratizing access to real estate through tokenization.

SolidBlock/DIBS operates a distributed brokerage business model: independent licensed brokers are connected to the Web3-enabled platform and earn commissions each time they connect investors to listed tokenized deals, generating transaction-fee revenue for the company. The customer base spans three primary segments: real estate developers and asset owners seeking to raise capital via tokenization, individual and institutional investors seeking fractional ownership exposure to commercial real estate, and licensed brokers distributing tokenized securities to their clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue figures or funding rounds have been reported.

Scale indicators2 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• INX: Regulated digital asset and security token exchange where SolidBlock has listed $150M of real estate tokens. INX is both a partner and a broader infrastructure incumbent whose ATS and trading venue compete for tokenized securities flow.

Direct peers

• Securitize: Leading digital asset securities issuance and lifecycle management platform. Securitize is the closest direct competitor, offering end-to-end tokenization with integrated compliance, primary issuance, and secondary trading — a near-1:1 alternative to SolidBlock's TokenSuite and DIBS distribution model.
• Vertalo: Tokenization and cap table management platform serving private securities issuers. Vertalo competes head-on with SolidBlock's TokenSuite for issuer-side issuance, KYC/AML, and investor onboarding workflows.
• Polymath: Security token issuance protocol and platform with built-in compliance features. Polymath targets the same regulated tokenization of real-world assets as SolidBlock, with comparable tooling for KYC, whitelisting, and investor rights.
• RealT: Real estate tokenization platform fractionalizing U.S. rental properties for global investors. RealT competes with SolidBlock in the same niche — tokenized fractional real estate — and targets the same retail and international investor base.
• tZERO: Security token exchange and tokenization infrastructure provider. tZERO operates both the issuance technology stack and a regulated ATS for trading digital securities, overlapping directly with SolidBlock's listing on INX and the broker-distribution angle of DIBS Capital.

Emerging players

• Ondo Finance: Tokenization platform focused on yield-bearing products, Treasuries, and structured RWAs. Ondo overlaps thematically in tokenized private assets but targets a different buyer (institutional DeFi rather than retail real estate investors).
• Elevated Returns: Pioneer in tokenizing commercial real estate and luxury assets. Elevated Returns is comparable as an early-mover RWA platform but with a narrower asset focus and lower distribution scale than SolidBlock/DIBS.
• Harbor: Earlier-stage tokenization platform focused on private real estate and securities. Harbor overlaps with SolidBlock's RWA focus, though its product surface and regulatory positioning remain narrower.

Regional players

• Bitfinex Securities: Regulated security token exchange and issuance platform operating outside the U.S. Bitfinex Securities competes in tokenized securities listings and trading, but is not directly competing for U.S. real estate issuers.
