INDONESIA’S FIRST PROPERTY ASSET TOKENIZATION COLLABORATION BETWEEN D3 LABS, BTN, AND RELIANCE GROUP.

Published

on

JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — D3 Labs, a provider of blockchain-based financial technology solutions, in collaboration with Indonesia’s state-owned bank PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (BTN) and PT Reliance Manajer Investasi (RMI), has developed the first property asset tokenization product in Indonesia. This was achieved through a blockchain technology-based Real Estate Investment Fund (REIT) scheme. This achievement is the outcome of BTN’s collaboration with PT Reliance Manajer Investasi (RMI) as an investment manager and D3 Labs as a blockchain technology provider for digital asset tokenization.

In this partnership, D3 Labs plays a critical role in providing banking-grade tokenization infrastructure, empowering emerging market financial products to be made available to global audiences. This partnership with BTN, the largest Indonesian mortgage state-owned bank that manages around 40% of the Indonesian mortgage market, is a testament to the capability of D3 Labs’ infrastructure, being able to pass the highest criteria of banking and compliance standards.

Indonesia has emerged as a prime destination for international investors, with foreign direct investment (PMA) reaching a substantial USD 946.4 million or approximately IDR 14.19 trillion by the conclusion of the first quarter of 2024. Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the globe, combined with a rising middle class, Indonesia is commonly viewed as one of the largest and most potential emerging markets in the world. Despite the prevailing global economic difficulties, Indonesia’s real estate sector has presented a picture of resilience, drawing interest from investors across Southeast Asia, as well as from Hong Kong, China, India, Australia, Japan, and France, who are keen to participate in real estate investment within the nation.

Tigran Adiwirya, CEO of D3 Labs, has noticed a widespread adoption of blockchain technology for digitally tokenizing financial assets in recent years. This trend is mainly due to the highly liquid and efficient market. According to Nareits – the Association for REITs and Mortgage REITs based in Washington D.C., the total equity market capitalization for listed REITs has reached USD 2.0 trillion by the end of 2023. In September 2023, the tokenization of REITs surged to USD 178 million, marking a remarkable 90% growth from the 2022 figures. This substantial increase can be attributed to utilizing blockchain technology, which introduces new investment opportunities and positively impacts liquidity. It’s important to note that REITs’ tokenization currently only represents a small fraction of the potential opportunity. With this in mind, D3 Labs, along with BTN and Reliance, are strategically positioned to capitalize on this growing trend.

BTN’s Director of Risk Management, Setiyo Wibowo, emphasized BTN’s endorsement of technological innovation within the financial sector through digital asset tokenization. The primary objective is to broaden investor access to domestic and international property investments. Setiyo explained, “BTN will supply property assets that conform to the underlying REITs’ criteria for subsequent tokenization. This process designates the property owner, an active BTN debtor, as the issuer of REIT products. RMI will oversee the management of these assets, while D3 Labs will handle their tokenization.”

The current investment opportunity has captured the attention of approximately 195 countries worldwide, each of which is actively formulating regulations about the tokenization of real-world assets. Meanwhile in Indonesia, the provisions for REIT products have been issued since 2017 by OJK Regulation No. 64/POJK.04/2017 concerning Real Estate Investment Funds in the Form of Collective Investment Contracts. Entities that issue REITs stand to gain numerous advantages, including access to new funding for business expansion, tax incentives, and transforming illiquid assets into liquid assets. Similarly, REIT investors can benefit from a highly affordable alternative investment in real estate, protection against inflation, and increased transparency. Setiyo emphasized that RIET Tokenization will be developed through a Sandbox or trial with OJK (Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority), conducted by RMI and D3 Labs.

“D3 Labs specializes in providing blockchain technology solutions for financial services institutions. Our blockchain solution, SeaSeed, is a blockchain extension module that enables financial services institutions to securely manage their transactions and data confidentiality. Our goal is to assist in the development of standardized banking products utilizing blockchain technology, with a focus on transaction security, transparency, and accountability,” stated Tigran.

Minister Hodgson highlights Western Canada’s role in Canada’s energy and economic future

Published

on

By

PRINCE GEORGE, BC, Sept. 4, 2026 /CNW/ — Today, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, concluded a five-day tour across Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, highlighting how provinces, workers, Indigenous partners, researchers and industry are positioning Canada as a global energy superpower with the strongest economy in the G7. Across Western Canada, Canadians are turning global volatility into opportunities for strength: building a more prosperous economy; enhancing our national security; creating good-paying jobs; and unlocking Canadian resources and connecting them to global markets.

In Alberta, Minister Hodgson spent time with Todd Loewen, Alberta’s Minister of Forestry and Parks, visiting forest sector workers in the Grande Prairie region and meeting firefighters who have kept Albertans safe through wildfire seasons. They discussed supporting the forest products sector in the face of unjustified U.S. tariffs, pivoting Canadian industry to domestic and non-U.S. markets, and how Canada and Alberta can work together to keep communities in Alberta safe from wildfire.

The Minister also visited Suncor’s oil sands operations in Fort McMurray, meeting the people whose hard work powers Canada and reinforces our role as a reliable energy supplier amidst volatile global energy markets. Our government is working hard with our Albertan, industry and Indigenous partners to support our energy sector and build Canada into a prosperous, sovereign and sustainable energy superpower, including through the Canada–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding.

In Saskatchewan, discussions focused on the infrastructure, innovation and resources that will help power Canada’s future. Meetings with provincial counterparts, including Minister Chris Beaudry; municipal leaders; industry; and researchers at the University of Saskatchewan highlighted opportunities to strengthen electricity grids, unlock Saskatchewan’s critical minerals advantage and advance major projects. Visits to the Jansen Mine and the Saskatchewan Research Council’s Rare Earth Processing Facility demonstrated Saskatchewan’s and Canada’s growing strength across the critical minerals and nuclear energy sectors, from resource extraction and processing to advanced technologies and exports.

Minister Hodgson also joined the Honourable Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development, to announce nearly $12 million for businesses in Saskatoon, which are standing up against American tariffs by investing, growing and innovating in Canada, creating jobs, diversifying our supply chains and helping our nation become more economically independent.

The tour also featured two landmark moments that underscored Canada’s ambition to build major projects and strengthen long-term economic prosperity, national security and sustainability. In Saskatchewan, Minister Hodgson announced progress achieved at the McIlvenna Bay copper and zine mine since its referral to the Major Projects Office one year ago. In British Columbia, he joined federal, provincial and Indigenous partners for the groundbreaking ceremony of the North Coast Transmission Line, a transformative infrastructure project that will more than double the availability of clean, low-cost electricity on the West Coast; unlock natural resources projects like the Ksi Lisims LNG facility and critical minerals developments in the Golden Triangle; and create $10 billion in new economic activity and nearly 10,000 jobs.

Western Canada is helping drive a new era of Canadian prosperity, sovereignty and sustainability through responsible resource development, made-in-Canada innovation and a world-class workforce. By advancing projects of national interest, the region is unlocking Canada’s full potential and helping us build Canada Strong.

Quote

“In many ways, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia are the beating heart of our energy and natural resource sectors. This week, I saw first-hand the people, projects and partnerships that are building Canada Strong amidst the unjustified trade war we are experiencing. From responsible resource development and world-class research to critical infrastructure and energy innovation, Canadians are creating the conditions for long-term prosperity, security, sustainability and sovereignty.”

The Honourable Tim Hodgson
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources
