Cushman & Wakefield: China Leads REIT Market Expansion in Asia while India's REIT Market Demonstrates Robust Growth
-Chinese mainland REIT market joined the top three largest REIT markets in Asia for the first time with an 85% increase in market value in 2024 -India's office REIT market attracted considerable leasing demand from global capability centres Data centre and hospitality REITs gained strong investor interest in Japan and Singapore HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2025 – China and India's Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) markets showed robust growth in 2024 and are expected to continue to attract strong investor interest this year, according to Cushman & Wakefield's Asia REIT Market Insight 2024-2025. The annual report revealed that the Chinese mainland REIT (C-REIT) market achieved a remarkable 85% increase in market value at the end of 2024, surpassing Hong Kong and becoming one of the region's top three REIT markets. In the same period, India's REIT market demonstrated robust growth in the office sector, driven by strong leasing demand for institutional-grade office space. Meanwhile, mature markets such as Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong moved toward stabilization, underlining their long-term resilience. Catherine Chen, Director, Investor Client Intelligence & Insights, Asia Pacific at Cushman & Wakefield said, 'The unprecedented growth in the C-REIT market highlights its role as a critical driver of regional expansion, while India's performance emphasizes the growing strength of the country's institutional-grade real estate. These markets continue to create new and exciting opportunities for investors targeting Asia.' Cushman & Wakefield's data showed a total of 263 active REIT products in the Asia market as of December 31, 2024, with a combined market value of US$235.8 billion, reflecting a year-on-year decline of 6.5%. The contraction was primarily driven by declines in the U.S. dollar values of the Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong markets due to the widespread softening in REIT stock prices and unfavorable exchange rate movements. Amid these declines, the Chinese mainland REIT market emerged as a bright spot, posting an impressive 85% year-on-year rise in market value, attributable to new REIT product issuances and strong investor demand for infrastructure-backed assets. In the mature markets, Japanese REITs experienced significant gains in dividend yield, led by stock price moderation and asset performance improvements, particularly among hotel REITs, which benefited from inbound tourism. In Singapore, positive total returns were observed across multiple property types in 2024, including data centres at 9.7%, and healthcare at 6.9%. Elsewhere in Asia, Thailand demonstrated robust performance with a 41% increase in market value, marking it as the second-highest growth market in the region. The Philippines, Malaysia and India reported increases of 37%, 21% and 13% respectively, supported by their favorable economic fundamentals and attractive real estate sectors. Expansion of C-REIT market The year 2024 saw a breakthrough in C-REIT issuance with 29 new REIT products, including 19 real estate-backed REITs. This represented the highest annual issuance recorded to date. Among product categories, consumer infrastructure REITs led the issuance count with seven new listings, followed by industrial park REITs with six launches. Heading into 2025, the market has maintained its robust trajectory with six REITs launched in Q1, including five real estate-backed products. As of March 31, 2025, a total of 64 public infrastructure REITs were listed in the Chinese mainland, marking a significant period of growth in the market. Chris Yang, Senior Director, Head of REITs Practice Group, China, at Cushman & Wakefield said, 'The C-REIT market has achieved a historic milestone in 2024, in both market value expansion and new product issuance. This surge reflects both greater investor confidence in infrastructure-backed REITs and the success of new issuances in retail and industrial REITs. Looking ahead, we anticipate further diversification and expansion as regulatory frameworks evolve to attract both domestic and international investors.' Global capability centres drive leasing demand for India office REITs India's office asset REITs have attracted a considerable share of demand from global capability centres (GCCs), which is an important growth driver for India's office markets. At a Pan-India level, GCCs have accounted for 28%–29% of gross leasing volume on average over the last four quarters up to Q1 2025. In contrast, REIT landlords were able to achieve a much higher share, at 40%–60% of total leasing demand from GCC firms, rendering institutionally owned assets the preferred choice for many multinational occupiers. Somy Thomas, Executive Managing Director, Valuations and Co- Head, Capital Markets, India at Cushman & Wakefield commented, 'India's REIT market continues to carve a strong trajectory, with exceptional growth seen across the office sector. Multinational companies, especially GCCs have driven record leasing activity, which now accounts for a significant share of the nation's Grade A office stock. There has also been a growing preference among occupiers for premium grade assets, thereby significantly benefiting REITs. All three office REITs in India achieved occupancy rates close to 90% at the end of Q1 2025.' A fourth office REIT in India is expected to make its listing debut by the end of the calendar year 2025. With 48 million sq ft of Pan-India Grade A office space (37 million sq ft operational and 11 million sq ft under development), Knowledge Realty Trust, which is backed by Blackstone and Sattva Developers is expected to become one of the largest real estate investment trusts listed in India. Looking Ahead The Asia REIT market is poised for continued evolution as it navigates the dual forces of mature market stabilization and emerging market expansion. 'We expect the mature markets of Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong to focus on enhancing operational efficiencies while grappling with the challenges posed by global monetary policy shifts. On the other hand, emerging markets, particularly the Chinese mainland, India and Thailand are expected to continue to grow, bolstered by strong economic fundamentals and supportive regulatory frameworks', noted Catherine Chen. Cushman & Wakefield's report also noted that data centre and hospitality REITs are expected to remain highly visible on investors' radar, driven by AI advancements and recovery in the tourism sector respectively. Additionally, M&A activity is likely to pick up as players seek scale and diversification to better weather market fluctuations. Please click here to download the report.

Binance Launches Fund Accounts – the First Crypto Exchange Solution Lowering the Entry Barrier to Crypto for Fund Managers
Mirrored on traditional finance account infrastructure, fund managers can now set up omnibus accounts on Binance to streamline investment trading strategies and focus on growth DUBAI , UAE , April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binance , the global blockchain ecosystem trusted by over 270 million users worldwide, today announced Fund Accounts, the first digital asset exchange technological solution for fund managers to facilitate pooling of their investors' assets to streamline fund management operations and enhance trading efficiency. Powered by Binance's robust account management infrastructure and technology, Fund Accounts reduces friction for fund managers with a new and efficient way to manage investor capital on the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. Mirrored on account infrastructure available in traditional finance, Binance Fund Accounts allows fund managers to consolidate externally-raised investor funds into one or multiple omnibus Fund Accounts based on their preferred trading strategies. This plug-and-play account infrastructure enables fund managers to operate with greater flexibility and efficiency, freeing them to focus on strategy execution to deliver for their investors. Until now, fund managers trading on crypto exchanges could only manage each of their investor's assets individually in segregated trading accounts, limiting the managers' ability to streamline and scale for performance as they usually do in traditional fund management. Bringing TradFi user experience and trust to crypto asset management Binance Fund Accounts introduce a universal net asset value (NAV) per unit concept widely used in TradFi to provide a clear and trackable profit-and-loss (PnL) for each fund and will address the lack of a common market standard in crypto asset management. The NAV per unit calculation will give transparency to fund managers and their investors, and also ensure that each respective investor is only able to withdraw the assets that they're entitled to. Fund managers will have trading capabilities over the fund accounts while deposits and withdrawals are limited to their investors, giving investors the confidence their assets are securely kept on Binance. This will foster trust in the growing crypto asset management sector and remove barriers for emerging fund managers to address counterparty risk concerns of investors. Investors and fund managers would need to enter into a separate agreement regarding subscription and redemption, ensuring transparency and clarity in the asset management process. This framework is modeled after traditional finance to provide fund managers with more cohesive management of investor capital and reduces complexity, offering fund managers and their investors a TradFi-like user experience they are familiar with. Head of Binance VIP & Institutional, Catherine Chen , says: 'Fund managers are seeking efficient, scalable solutions to adapt their strategies to the ever-evolving crypto landscape. Binance Fund Accounts is a plug-and-play tool that lets fund managers streamline investment management, allowing them to focus on strategy execution and efficient capital deployment. Our technology solution empowers fund managers to offer a more seamless and flexible approach to digital asset management while ensuring that their investors can benefit from the security and deep liquidity Binance is known for. We are excited to continue leading the way in transforming how institutional clients engage with digital assets.' Key benefits of Fund Accounts include: Streamlined Portfolio Management: Fund Accounts significantly reduces the operational complexity associated with managing multiple accounts by consolidating investor assets into a single omnibus account. This enables fund managers to execute strategies more efficiently, reducing time and effort spent on individual account adjustments.

This enables fund managers to execute strategies more efficiently, reducing time and effort spent on individual account adjustments. Flexibility in Strategy Execution: The flexibility to create multiple fund accounts allows managers to deploy different trading strategies tailored to each fund while maintaining an efficient, centralized structure for all investor assets. This enables fund managers to focus on strategic decision-making rather than operational overhead.

Investor Diversification: With the functionality of setting up multiple fund accounts, fund managers can attract a variety of investors based on their risk appetite and thus set up fund accounts with tailored trading strategies accordingly.

Business Growth and Scaling: Fund managers can now effectively scale up their fund size exponentially without incurring incremental operational costs as the funds are pooled for efficient management and execution. This addresses a long-standing pain point for fund managers when investing in digital assets, given that it is difficult and expensive to scale when managing multiple segregated accounts. Binance continues to lead the market in meeting demand for solutions that bridge the gap between crypto and TradFi for institutional users.
