Investay's hotel tokenization platform features three distinct token classes, each serving a specific function in the ecosystem: RT (asset-backed securities), PST (utility & redemption), and ISTAY (governance & rewards).
RT tokens represent ownership stakes in designated hotel room night inventory. Each token entitles holders to proportional distributions from room revenue, ancillary services, and potential property appreciation.
Assumptions: 78% occupancy, $220 ADR, 5-year tokenization window
PST tokens provide utility access to the Investay network, including room night redemption, transfer rights, and revenue participation from platform-wide operations.
ISTAY tokens grant governance rights over the Investay platform, including voting on protocol upgrades, fee structures, and new property approvals. Holders also receive trading fee discounts and staking rewards.

|---|---|---|---|
| Origination Fee | 3-5% | 3-5% | One-time fee on tokenization |
| Trading Fee (Secondary) | 0.5% | 0.3% | Per transaction on RT/PST trades |
| Distribution Fee | 0% | 0% | No fees on quarterly payouts |
| Conversion Fee (RT↔PST) | 0% | 0% | Free token conversions |
| Custody Fee | Varies | Varies | Institutional custody only (optional) |
Hotel tokenization provides operators with non-dilutive capital, operational flexibility, and marketing advantages unavailable through traditional financing channels.
Raise capital by monetizing future room inventory without equity dilution or ownership transfer. Hotels retain 100% ownership while accessing institutional capital markets.
Use tokenization proceeds for development, renovations, debt refinancing, portfolio expansion, or working capital—without restrictions typical of bank loans.
RT and PST token holders become brand ambassadors, driving direct bookings and reducing OTA dependency. Token utility programs create loyal customer bases.
Tokenization creates structured exit mechanisms, including buyback provisions and potential property value premiums driven by token holder demand.
"Tokenization provided the capital we needed for our spa expansion without diluting ownership. The RT holders became some of our best brand ambassadors, driving direct bookings and referrals. It's been a win-win for both the property and our investors."— Resort General Manager, MENA Region
