About Lucent Block

Lucent Block, a South Korean fintech company established in November 2018, is developing a blockchain-based digital platform for trading real estate securities. The firm is headquartered in Daejeon and was founded by CEO Heo Se-young. Lucent Block aims to enhance the securitization of income-generating securities and improve investment accessibility under its philosophy of providing 'Opportunity for Ownership for All'.

The company operates the real estate token securities platform 'Soyou', which enables retail investors to indirectly invest in small and medium-sized commercial real estate. Through Soyou, Lucent Block lists real estate on an exchange and issues corresponding income securities. This model allows investors to trade digital real estate securities with greater ease. The platform has successfully sold out 11 real estate token securities products, attracting approximately 500,000 members, over 70% of whom are from the MZ generation (Millennials and Gen Z).

Lucent Block's business falls within the Financial Software, FinTech, and Real Estate Technology sectors. The company generates revenue through its investment platform services. As part of its growth strategy and to ensure a more reliable service foundation, Lucent Block has applied for a preliminary license for a securities investment brokerage business from the Financial Services Commission. The firm has secured significant funding through multiple rounds, including a Series A in March 2022 and a Series B in November 2023, with investors such as Hana Financial Group, Capstone Partners, Korea Development Bank, and Seoul Techno Holdings.
