About

Why Albania is Attractive for Tokenization

Crypto activities are officially recognized as licensed financial services under the competent authorities of AFSA (Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority) and NAIS/AKSHI (National Agency for Information Society).

Tokenization Routes

Possible Routes for Tokenizing Property
in Albania

  • Local STO route (Law 66/2020)

    Issue security tokens via AFSA authorization + DT Agent.
    Custody by licensed wallet provider; AML aligned with EU rules.
    Listing only on Category C DLT Exchanges (once operational).

  • EU fund (Luxembourg, etc.)

    Hold Albanian real estate in local SPV.
    Issue tokenized units/notes through an EU vehicle.
    Used by T-Blocks; scalable, attractive to diaspora.

  • Offshore issuer + geo-block Albania

    Offshore tokens referencing Albanian assets.
    Must exclude Albanian marketing to avoid Law 66/2020 triggers.

Real cases

Implemented Market Examples

  • Heritage (Vlorë apartment)

    In 2023, Heritage completed Albania’s first tokenized real estate deal: a seaside apartment in Vlorë worth ~€60,000 was fractionalized, with 32 investors participating. This small-scale project proved feasibility for retail tokenization in the country.

  • T-Blocks (Tirana pipeline)

    In 2025, the T-Blocks initiative was launched with government endorsement and Luxembourg fund backing. It aims to tokenize up to €500 million of real estate developments, starting with Tirana projects. This marks Albania’s shift toward institutional-scale tokenization.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Is tokenization legal in Albania?

    Yes. The DLT Law provides a framework for security tokens; AFSA regulates STOs.

  • Do tokens replace land registry entries?

    No. Title transfer remains at cadastre; tokens represent SPV/fund interests.

  • What is the role of ALREG?

    ALREG registers dematerialized shares/notes, which can then be mirrored as tokens.

  • Can foreign funds invest in Albanian assets?

    Yes. EU funds (e.g., Luxembourg RAIF) are already being used.
