Blocksquare Partners for First Tokenization of a Tequila Distillery
Ljubljana, Slovenia, August 29th, 2024, Chainwire
Blocksquare’s latest Marketplace Pool for RWA investment is now live, marking the platform's third DAO funding pool after the swift sellout of its previous Oceanpoint launchpad campaigns in under 36 hours. Rancho Altos, a project merging tequila distillery operations with real estate development, allows $BST (Blocksquare token) holders to invest in the world’s first tokenization of a tequila distillery, democratizing investment into an industry that was inaccessible to retail investors.
Rancho Altos is located in Jalisco, Mexico, combining the traditional craft of tequila production in its native region with a comprehensive real estate plan that blends cultural heritage with sustainable real estate development. The project features a distillery, along with luxury villas, a wellness center, a farm-to-table restaurant, and eco-tourism facilities on an 82-hectare estate.
Jalisco is renowned for its ideal conditions for growing blue agave, which is essential for producing high-quality tequila. Currently, the tequila market represents an $11.7 billion industry, expected to reach $18.6 billion by 2032 with only 135 approved distilleries in all of Mexico. Rancho Altos and Blocksquare are opening the market to investment in tequila to retail investors who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity.
“Rancho Altos embodies a convergence of tradition and innovation, blending the rich heritage of tequila production with modern, sustainable real estate development,” said Denis Petrovcic, CEO of Blocksquare. “Offering this unique opportunity to our community showcases how blockchain technology and tokenization can open up investments that were once out of reach. This launchpad pool demonstrates the potential of integrating cultural assets with sustainable practices, while underscoring our commitment to democratizing access to high-value real estate investments.”
By using blockchain technology and tokenization, Rancho Altos opens up to a broader range of individuals to invest in both the tequila production and the associated real estate, creating new avenues for participation in this asset class. Successful funding of this campaign will support the establishment of Rancho Altos’ own marketplace for tokenized assets, covering the costs of the distillery’s construction and further development of the estate.
“Rancho Altos vision intertwines heritage, innovation, and sustainability in a way the tequila industry has never seen,” said Marcos Galindo, Founder of Rancho Altos. “Our mission has been to create a distillery that stands as a beacon of responsible production through design that honors traditional methods to set new standards for environmental stewardship. Integrating cutting-edge practices and a unique masterplan, we are forging a legacy that will resonate far beyond our own borders. With the support of forward-thinking partners like Blocksquare, Rancho Altos stands poised to redefine what is possible in both the world of tequila and sustainable real estate development."
