加密宗教：將教堂所有權代幣化

雖然「加密宗教」經常讓人們逃之夭夭，但科羅拉多州的一家教堂正在將祈禱與區塊鏈結合起來，成為第一個成為代幣化教堂的宗教機構。

A Colorado church is making history by becoming the first religious institution to tokenize its building. The church, Colorado House of Prayer, is aiming to raise $2.5 million to acquire the Old Stone Church through a tokenized offering.

科羅拉多州的一座教堂成為第一個對其建築進行代幣化的宗教機構，創造了歷史。科羅拉多祈禱之家教堂計劃籌集 250 萬美元，透過代幣化發行收購老石教堂。

Pastor Blake Bush of the Colorado House of Prayer discovered Ripple Labs' XRP in 2022 and became fascinated by blockchain technology. He began exploring ways to use blockchain to benefit his church and community.

科羅拉多祈禱之家的布萊克布希牧師於 2022 年發現了 Ripple Labs 的 XRP，並對區塊鏈技術著迷。他開始探索如何使用區塊鏈來造福他的教會和社區。

“I heard the Lord say, ‘tokenize the building,'” Bush told reporters. “I've been interested in the technology, but I could not have formed that sentence because that's just not in my vocabulary. I've been praying for this for years, and God said, ‘Son, go get my house.'”

「我聽到主說，『將這棟建築標記化’，』」布希告訴記者。 「我一直對這項技術很感興趣，但我無法形成這個句子，因為我的詞彙中沒有這句話。我多年來一直為此祈禱，上帝說，’兒子，去拿回我的房子吧。

The church has created “Stone Coin,” a digital asset linked to a real estate token on the Polymesh private blockchain, to facilitate the purchase. The building is divided into digital shares through this token, allowing investors to contribute to the purchase.

教會創建了“Stone Coin”，一種與 Polymesh 私人區塊鏈上的房地產代幣掛鉤的數位資產，以方便購買。該建築透過該代幣分為數位份額，允許投資者為購買做出貢獻。

“I've been praying for this for years, and God said, ‘Son, go get my house,'” Bush said.

「我多年來一直為此祈禱，上帝說，『兒子，去拿回我的房子，』」布希說。

The project has already raised approximately half of its goal and is now seeking additional investors. Initially, Stone Coins are being sold to accredited investors for $500 each, with a minimum investment of $50,000.

該項目已經籌集了大約一半的目標，目前正在尋找更多投資者。最初，Stone Coins 以每枚 500 美元的價格出售給合格投資者，最低投資額為 50,000 美元。

When asked about the possibility of an outsider takeover in an interview with Coin Telegraph, Pastor Bush joked, “Let's introduce [them] to Jesus.”

在接受《硬幣電訊報》採訪時，當被問及外部人士接管的可能性時，布希牧師開玩笑說：“讓我們把[他們]介紹給耶穌。”

The Colorado House of Prayer church is a pioneer in the real-world asset tokenization industry, with a board that includes the local mayor and several ecclesiastical leaders.

Backed by BlackRock, the RWA market is expected to expand rapidly, reaching an astonishing $13 trillion by 2027.

在貝萊德的支持下，RWA 市場預計將迅速擴張，到 2027 年將達到驚人的 13 兆美元。

The Colorado House of Prayer is venturing into the realm of blockchain, which may inspire other houses of worship and charities to investigate tokenization.

科羅拉多祈禱之家正在涉足區塊鏈領域，這可能會激勵其他禮拜堂和慈善機構研究代幣化。
