(PR)
“I’m interested in real estate investment, but I can’t afford tens of millions of yen…” “I’m worried about crowdfunding because my funds are locked until redemption…” Many people with these concerns are paying attention to the digital security “renga“.
Unlike traditional real estate crowdfunding, renga is a new investment service provided as a security token (ST) based on the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
It is a platform that uses blockchain technology to fractionalize large, high-quality real estate properties that institutional investors would invest in, allowing individuals to participate in units of 100,000 yen.
Although it is a relatively new service that launched in September 2025, public offering funds have already been formed, and it is building a track record, including for professional use (renga Pro).
What is renga? Differences from real estate crowdfunding
renga is a service operated by Digital Securities Co., Ltd. The features are as follows:
● Legal framework: Digital securities (STO) based on the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act
● Investment target: Currently backed by operating large-scale real estate (trust beneficiary rights)
● Minimum investment amount: Generally from 100,000 yen per unit (varies by fund)
● Expected yield: Approximately 3.2–6.5% per year (before tax, depending on the project)
● Investment period: Mainly around 3 to 5 years
● Biggest feature: Investor-to-investor trading (negotiated transactions) is possible, providing options for mid-term liquidation
In traditional real estate crowdfunding (Real Estate Specified Joint Enterprise Act), funds are generally locked until redemption.
On the other hand, because renga is issued as a security token, it has a mechanism that allows investors to trade with each other under specified conditions. This is a major difference, as it makes it easier to secure a certain level of liquidity even for long-term investments.
Also, it adopts a bankruptcy-remote scheme, which is another reassuring factor as assets are separated from the credit risk of the operating company.
Main benefits of renga
1. Individuals can access “solid assets” chosen by professionals We carefully select stable income-generating real estate (such as rental residences and hotels) that have been structured for institutional investors. The focus is on income-type assets that are less susceptible to market volatility.
2. Ensuring liquidity through investor-to-investor trading As a first-in-Japan mechanism, negotiated transactions are possible even during the investment period. This reduces the risk of “funds being completely locked” even for long-term projects.
3. Major companies participate as shareholders Shareholders include the SBI Group, Marubeni, and Mitsubishi Corporation, and the fact that the representative, Kohei Yamamoto, is a former lawyer at the Financial Services Agency also enhances reliability.
4. Lower costs through an integrated manufacturing and sales model. By performing everything from structuring to sales and secondary distribution within the group, intermediate costs are reduced and we aim to return profits to investors.
5. You can start from 100,000 yen This significantly lowers the hurdle for investing in large-scale real estate.
Points to note and disadvantages
● It has not been long since the service started, and there is little long-term track record
for public offering funds
● The investment period is relatively long at 3 to 5 years
● There is no guarantee that a counterparty will be found for investor-to-investor trading (liquidity is not absolute) ● There is no guarantee of principal
(there is a risk of fluctuations in real estate prices and rental income)
● Some projects use a lottery system, so you may not be able to invest as you wish (there are also first-come, first-served projects, so please utilize those as well) As with any investment, there are always risks. Please try to diversify your investments using surplus funds.
Recommended for people who:
● Are looking for yields higher than savings but want to avoid the price movements of stocks
● Are concerned about the “funds locked until redemption” aspect of real estate crowdfunding
● Want to participate in professional-quality financial products with a small amount of money
● Want to aim for income in the medium to long term
