About pieces.market

pieces.market is a web3 platform enabling fractional investment in luxury assets, allowing users to invest in high-value items such as cars, watches, and yachts starting from just $100. Each asset offered on the platform is divided into thousands of minted pieces (pNFTs) and sold again after a predetermined period, with revenue distributed to the holders.

The unique legal model, compliant with MICA regulations, empowers users to collectively decide on an asset’s future, freely trade their pieces on third party NFT marketplaces, and eliminates the need for signing complex agreements.
