BD 194/2025 doesn't just regulate PE/VC platforms — it unlocks the legal machinery to wrap real estate, agriculture, manufacturing, SMEs, and startups into retail-accessible products. The real economy is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The structured, investable slice of it is a rounding error. That gap is the opportunity.
