This study measures the relationship of real estate regulations and role of intermediaries with transparencies in Blockchain application for better real estate transactions. Blockchain application is essential to enhance the transparencies in the real estate transaction. The study is divided into two objectives: the first is to examine the strength and direction of the variable’s relationship. The second is to assess impact of the Real Estate Regulations and the Role of Intermediaries on Transparency and determine the extent to which these factors explain variations in Transparency. Thus, the research conducted a survey with data collected from 105 respondents with purposive sampling through a developed literature study. This data was analyzed using the Correlation Analysis by Spearman’s Rho and, and Regression analysis to achieve the study's objectives. The study found that all relationships are positive and statistically significant and impact of Real Estate regulations is stronger on Transparency than Role of Intermediaries.
