UPRETS is employing a protocol based on the Xbolt consortium blockchain to pursue the digitalization of the securities representing limited partnership interests of UPRETS Oosten I LP. Each digital security is defined by smart contracts, while representing partial ownership in certain units at the Oosten property, a 216-unit complex in the heart of Brooklyn developed by NYSE-listed conglomerate Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (NYSE: XIN).

To further simplify the process of raising capital, UPRETS provides technical solutions to enable issuers to offer digital securities through a global exchange ecosystem that will be more feasible, universal and investor-centric. These steps seek to reduce friction and bring liquidity to currently hard-to-trade assets. Now that Oosten Digital Securities are listed on MERJ, these investments are made more readily accessible to qualified accredited investors.
