Privado ID and DigiShares Partner to Revolutionize KYC in Real Estate with Privacy-Preserving Identity

Privado ID is joining forces with DigiShares, a global tokenization pioneer, to redefine how KYC is done in the real estate industry, making it faster, cheaper, and more privacy-friendly.

This collaboration introduces DITO, a new decentralized identity standard integrated into **RealEstate.Exchange (REX),** the first fully regulated tokenized real estate exchange. DITO enables users to complete KYC once and reuse their verified credentials across platforms and jurisdictions, dramatically lowering costs and eliminating repeated identity verifications.

Solving the Real Estate Identity Problem

Real estate deal cancellations are at an all-time high, while KYC compliance costs are expected to rise by over 140% in the next five years. Cross-border investments only add more layers of regulatory complexity.

The partnership between Privado ID and DigiShares solves this with a next-generation identity system powered by zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). This technology allows users to prove who they are without revealing private information, and to reuse that proof securely across the DigiShares ecosystem and beyond.

Result?

• KYC costs reduced from $2 to $0 on repeat checks.
• Processing time slashed from 5–10 minutes to seconds.
• Verified once, reused anywhere across 40+ jurisdictions.

Built on Proven Privacy Infrastructure

DITO is built using Billions Network, an identity verification network created by Privado ID and backed by privacy-by-design principles. The infrastructure is already trusted by institutions like HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Polygon, and Scroll, and now it's unlocking new efficiencies for real-world asset (RWA) platforms.

Privado ID brings years of experience delivering zero-knowledge, reusable credentials and verifiable data standards (DIDs, VCs). Their stack is W3C-compliant, open-source, and optimized for multichain environments, supporting both onchain and offchain verification.

As Evin McMullen, CEO and Cofounder of Privado ID, explains:

“The real estate sector is under pressure to strengthen identity verification while protecting user privacy. Our integration with DigiShares shows how decentralized identity can solve these challenges, at scale, and across borders.”

A Future-Proof Identity Standard for RWAs

Tokenized real estate is gaining momentum, but outdated compliance processes create friction for investors. With DITO and the Privado ID stack:

• Institutional investors save time and cost across jurisdictions.
• Platforms benefit from instant KYC and lower user drop-off.
• Users regain control of their credentials—verifying once, and sharing only with consent.

This is a key step toward scalable, privacy-first infrastructure for real world asset tokenization, a sector where trust and compliance are everything.

As Claus Skaaning, CEO of DigiShares, puts it:

“By solving the long-standing identity problem across jurisdictions, we’re removing a major obstacle to market efficiency.”

The First of Many

REX will be the first exchange to integrate DITO, with other partners already expressing interest. Built on the trusted identity rails of Privado ID, and leveraging DigiShares’ global tokenization network of 150+ clients in over 40 countries, this is just the beginning.
