Frequently Asked Questions
How are the paintings available on the Real Digital Exchange platform selected?
The selection of artworks for the Real Digital Exchange platform takes place in several stages and is based on a combination of market expertise and user preferences. Our partner Artinfo.pl plays a key role – one of the most reputable institutions on the Polish art market, with years of experience, transactional data, and access to industry experts.
The process includes:
expert pre-selection (Artinfo.pl and independent art market specialists),
analysis of the artworks’ long-term value growth potential,
consideration of platform users’ interest in specific artists or works,
the possibility of secure artwork deposit in a public institution, which contributes to the future increase in the artwork’s value.
Our goal is to introduce onto the platform artworks with high cultural potential, which may translate into future value growth, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and credibility.
Are the artworks available on RDX insured?
All artworks operating within the Real Digital Exchange system are physically deposited in public institutions, including renowned museum institutions, which possess appropriate infrastructure, procedures, and experience in the protection and storage of artworks.
It is the depository institution that is responsible for the artwork’s security, both in terms of physical and organizational aspects. These institutions are equipped to secure artworks to the highest standard and bear responsibility according to the applicable deposit agreements.
Simultaneously, upon user request or in specific cases, Real Digital Exchange can provide additional commercial insurance for the artwork, extending beyond the standard protections offered by the depository institution.
What does purchasing artwork shares entail, and how does the primary market work?
On the RDX platform, users do not purchase an entire painting, but fractional shares in a given artwork.
The primary market is the moment when the artwork is first made available on the platform – this is when users can acquire its shares directly as part of the issuance.
After the issuance is completed, the shares enter the secondary market, where they can be freely traded between users.
Under specific circumstances, the artwork can be withdrawn from the system – for example, when one user accumulates at least 80% of all shares. Then, through a simplified procedure, that user can buy out the remaining shares and take full ownership of the artwork, removing it from the system.
What if I want to sell my artwork share?
Selling shares takes place on the Real Digital Exchange secondary market, which was specifically designed with small transactions and high accessibility in mind.
The market is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
It enables the free purchase and sale of shares,
It provides flexibility and liquidity not available in the traditional art market.
Can art lose value?
Yes. Despite the fact that the art market historically shows a long-term upward trend, it should be remembered that – similar to other assets – there can be periodic declines in the value of individual artworks.
Prices can be subject to short-term fluctuations resulting from, among other things, market conditions, changing trends, or macroeconomic factors. Therefore, participation in the art market should be viewed as a long-term investment, not a guarantee of constant growth.
