Key Agreement Structure

The agreement between REAL Finance (a subsidiary of REAL Technologies Inc.) and Factori AD serves as the operational framework for tokenizing a $100M+ institutional asset pipeline. Finalized in May 2026, the partnership combines Factori AD’s status as an EU-regulated investment broker with REAL Finance’s blockchain settlement infrastructure to bridge the gap between traditional finance and on-chain transparency [Source: https://x.com/RealFinOfficial/article/2063995034286833857].
Key Agreement Structure
The partnership establishes a regulated gateway for Real-World Assets (RWAs), utilizing a dual-custody model to ensure institutional-grade security.
- Regulated Execution: Factori AD manages client onboarding, KYC/AML compliance, and OTC execution.
- Custody: International securities are held at the Bank of New York, while Bulgarian assets are stored at the Central Depository in Bulgaria [Source: https://crypto.news/real-finance-lands-a-total-29m-funding-to-target-institutional-rwa-tokenization-adoption/].
- Settlement Layer: Assets are initially tokenized on an EVM-compatible blockchain (Base) before a planned migration to REAL Finance’s dedicated Layer 1 mainnet.
- Token Utility: Factori AD is required to swap 5% of the pilot assets for $ASSET tokens, which are necessary to operate as a business entity validator on the REAL network [Source: https://x.com/RealFinOfficial/article/2063995034286833857]. [Note: not independently confirmed]
Impact on the $100M Tokenization Initiative
The agreement initiates a phased rollout designed to validate the end-to-end lifecycle of regulated tokenization before scaling to the full $100M pipeline.
| Metric | Details |
|---|---|
| Initial Pilot Asset | 5,000,000 equity warrants of Alpha Bulgaria AD (ALFB) |
| Pilot Valuation | ~€13.75 million (€2.75 per warrant) |
| Immediate Pipeline | $100M in committed client assets [Source: https://openexo.com/l/5e077414] |
| Long-term Target | $500M in total RWA tokenization [Source: https://crypto.news/real-finance-lands-a-total-29m-funding-to-target-institutional-rwa-tokenization-adoption/] |
Strategic Significance
The primary impact of this agreement is the institutionalization of the RWA workflow. By integrating licensed brokers and Tier-1 custodians, REAL Finance addresses the compliance hurdles that typically prevent institutional adoption of blockchain. According to CEO Ivo Grigorov, the deal confirms that the infrastructure is "under contract with real securities" rather than remaining theoretical [Source: https://crypto.news/real-finance-lands-a-total-29m-funding-to-target-institutional-rwa-tokenization-adoption/].
While the $100M pipeline is committed, the full economic impact depends on the successful validation of the Alpha Bulgaria pilot and the subsequent transition to the REAL Layer 1 mainnet.
