    Investor base: professional or retail (depending on AIF type).

  • MICA 'other crypto asset' or 'Asset reference token' route

    If token is not a financial instrument, issue under MiCA.
    Requires HANFA-authorized CASP, white paper, marketing compliance.

Real cases

Implemented Market Examples

  • Aeternity × Property Token Pilot (Zagreb)

    One of the first tokenization pilots in Croatia, launched with Aeternity blockchain, involving fractionalized ownership in a Zagreb residential building. Tokens were issued through a local SPV, giving investors exposure to rental income.

  • Blockchain Lab Split — Real Estate RWA Experiments

    University-backed Blockchain Lab in Split partnered with startups to test tokenization frameworks for coastal real estate. Early-stage but demonstrated on-chain shareholding models that could integrate with local legal structures.

  • Crypto-based real estate purchases (Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik)

    Developers on the Dalmatian coast and in Dubrovnik report successful real estate transactions settled in crypto (BTC, ETH, USDT). While technically not tokenization, this shows market readiness and openness to digital assets in property sales.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does MiCA apply in Croatia?

    Yes. MiCA has been fully in force since December 2024, with the national Implementation Act aligning Croatian supervision.

  • Can tokens be recorded in the land register?

    No. Property rights remain registered in the land register; tokens wrap SPV/fund interests.

  • Are real-estate tokens securities?

    If tokens grant equity, profit rights, or debt, they are treated as financial instruments under MiFID II.

  • Are there licensed CASPs in Croatia?

    As of September 2025, HANFA lists no CASPs; authorization is expected during 2025–2026.
