TrendsVC PRO 0076 – Fractional Ownership

Why It Matters
High-quality assets tend to have above-average returns.

 Problem
Most of us can’t afford to buy fine art, an entire commercial building or billion-dollar company.

 Solution
Fractionalization democratizes ownership.

Don’t have millions for a Rembrandt or Monaco condo?

No problem. Buy shares instead.

 Predictions

Get TrendsVC PRO 0076 – Fractional Ownership download
Fractionally-owned networks will become more common. Shared ownership is an acquisition and retention strategy. See Chris Dixon’s Why Decentralization Matters.
NFT projects with limited supply (say 10,000 items) will have millions of owners. CryptoPunk #7171 is an early example with 700+ owners (including me).
NFT indices will become a popular way to lower volatility and boost diversification. Fractional vaults consist of single items and collections.

 Opportunities
Look into high-quality, tokenized assets. See Fractional, PartyBid and Rally.
Own protocols that you use. See ENS, Mirror and Audius.
Share ownership with your audience. 3LAU fans own 50% of streaming rights for “Worst Case.” Lyrah shows what the future of contracts may look like.
Tokenize high-quality assets. Fractional has a “Curator’s Fee” to reward initial owners.

 Risks
High Valuations • Keep an eye on fundamentals and valuations. Share prices (such as $1 per share) are arbitrary. What’s the valuation?
Illiquidity • How will you get paid back? Is there a secondary market for your shares? Will you have to wait for an acquisition? Understand liquidity events.

 Key Lessons
Fractionalization increases access to quality assets and makes it easier to diversify.
Fractionalization unlocks liquidity and boosts valuations. See the liquidity premiums.

Haters
“Facebook is a public company. It’s technically a user-owned network.”

Facebook went public after 8 years. They have dual-class shares. There’s not much overlap between users and decision makers.

“PFPs should not be fractionalized. If they are, who gets bragging rights?”

Social consensus will decide. Some add party hats to NFTs to indicate fractional ownership.

“This report is too focused on web3.”

We looked at traditional asset classes in past reports. See Equity Crowdfunding.
