One Hope of Colorado is making history as the first church to be tokenized, aiming to raise $2.5 million for the purchase of the Old Stone Church in Fort Collins. This pioneering project involves converting the church into digital tokens using blockchain technology, with the goal of preserving the historic building.

The church will sell "Stone Coins" to accredited investors, who will hold and trade these tokens to fund the purchase. This venture hopes to blend faith with financial innovation, setting a new precedent in the realm of real estate and blockchain.
