What is the difference vs. crowdfunding and other platforms?

Updated over a week ago

Piece platform distinguishes itself from traditional crowdfunding platforms by offering a unique tokenized security structure and superior transparency, supported by robust regulation and technology.

1. You take less development risk with Piece

Piece platform specializes in already rented income-generating properties, which offer better stability and immediate returns:

  • Piece platform: We focus on properties that are already built and rented to reliable tenants (like pre-vetted students) at the time you invest. This ensures immediate rental income and stability, less vacancy and default risk, comparing to other platforms.

  • Crowdfunding Platforms: Crowdfunding models often offer new real estate development projects that haven't been built or lack tenants. This introduces higher risks related to construction delays, zoning changes and securing tenants after completion.

2. We operate under a more robust Regulatory Framework

Piece platform adheres to the MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II) regulatory framework. (Is Piece regulated by any authority?) This is generally recognized as the more comprehensive and investor-protective regulatory structure compared to the ECSP (European Crowdfunding Service Provider) regulations, which often apply to simpler crowdfunding models. Our commitment to MiFID II compliance reinforces our dedication to investor security and transparent market operations.

Our transparent disclosure approach, including the KID, Terms of Issue and Subscription Agreement, equips investors with all necessary data to understand their investment's structure and potential performance.

Furthermore, token ownership data is deployed on the blockchain, ensuring an immutable, decentralized, and highly secure record of every investment.
