Building the Tokenization Ecosystem

OFA Group to Build Real-Estate Equity & Mortgage RWA Platform

On September 24, 2025 (SGT), OFA Group (NASDAQ: OFAL) announced a strategic deal with Blockchain App Factory to launch a tokenization platform focused on real-estate equity and mortgage-backed assets. An MVP is expected within four months. The move is notable because a publicly listed U.S. company is stepping directly into real-estate RWA supply, signaling both institutional credibility and distribution reach. If delivered, the platform could provide a new pipeline for tokenized mortgages and equity products, expanding the market beyond isolated pilots.

Ripple × Securitize Enable RLUSD Redemptions for Tokenized Funds

On September 26, 2025 (SGT), Ripple and Securitize announced that tokenized fund holders—such as BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL—can now redeem shares directly into Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin using smart contracts. This creates a reliable “cash leg” for tokenized securities, enabling 24/7 liquidity and seamless settlement. For tokenized real estate, the ability to plug into a compliant, on-chain cash rail could be transformative, giving issuers and investors a clear path to move between property tokens and stable liquidity.

Chintai × Splyce Launch Retail-Ready “S-Tokens” on Solana

Also on September 24, 2025 (SGT), Chintai and Splyce rolled out “S-Tokens” on Solana, a new structure designed to give compliant retail access to institutional-grade tokenized securities. Until now, access to RWA products—including tokenized real estate—has largely been restricted to accredited investors. According to the report, S-Tokens will involve the Kin Fund, a tokenized real estate fund launched by Kin Capital on the Chintai network. By expanding the addressable buyer base, S-Tokens could open the door for real-estate issuers to tap a broader market of smaller, retail participants while maintaining compliance safeguards.

On September 26, 2025 (SGT), Messari released a report detailing adoption on Plume, highlighting growth in tokenized assets, active holders, and total value locked.

For real-estate tokenization projects, Plume’s traction signals another potential network pipeline—one where property assets could plug into existing liquidity and infrastructure already attracting institutional attention.

Archax Named Exchange, Broker & Custodian for Shortwave Life Sciences

On September 26, 2025 (SGT), Shortwave Life Sciences appointed FCA-regulated Archax as its exchange, broker, and custodian to manage a digital-asset treasury strategy. Archax is already a key regulated venue for tokenized assets, including real-estate issuers seeking compliant custody and secondary trading. Its growing role in corporate finance shows how regulated rails are becoming indispensable for scaling tokenization across multiple asset classes—real estate included.

Why It Matters These five stories together highlight how the pieces of real-estate tokenization are locking into place. On the supply side, OFA Group’s move into equity and mortgage assets points to a future pipeline of property-backed RWAs. Ripple and Securitize’s integration of RLUSD creates a compliant cash rail for settlement, while Chintai and Splyce’s retail-ready tokens expand access beyond accredited investors to everyday buyers. Messari’s validation of growth on Plume demonstrates where tokenized property could tap into existing liquidity, and Archax’s role as a regulated custodian ensures those assets can be securely issued, traded, and held. The result is an emerging ecosystem in which pipelines, settlement rails, investor demand, networks, and infrastructure are aligning—bringing tokenized real estate closer to mainstream scale.
