REAL Technologies — the parent of tokenization platform REAL Finance — has launched its first live securities tokenization deal, putting its regulated infrastructure into commercial use and unlocking an institutional pipeline worth more than $100 million.
What happened
- REAL signed a tokenization agreement with Factori AD, a fully licensed, EU-regulated investment broker. Under the deal, Factori will route institutional and client assets through REAL Finance’s settlement and tokenization stack while retaining all regulated brokerage duties (client onboarding, KYC/AML, licensed OTC execution and segregated custody).
- The pilot transaction tokenizes equity derivatives tied to Alpha Bulgaria AD (ticker ALFB), a company listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange. The tranche comprises 5,000,000 warrants, each currently valued at roughly €2.75.
- The tokenized instruments will be issued on an EVM-compatible blockchain ahead of REAL Finance’s planned Layer-1 mainnet launch.
- Custody arrangements keep regulation front-and-center: international securities custody via Bank of New York and Bulgarian securities at the Central Depository in Bulgaria.
Why it matters
- This is REAL Finance’s first live deployment for regulated securities and is intended to validate the full tokenization workflow: regulated sourcing, licensed OTC execution, regulated custody, and on-chain settlement.
- Factori has committed more than $100 million in additional client assets for tokenization through REAL’s infrastructure — a multi-nine-figure pipeline the pilot is designed to scale.
- REAL emphasizes it tokenizes “real” financial instruments (public equities and derivatives, private market shares, bonds) rather than creating synthetic exposure products, and builds the architecture around licensed custody and compliance.
Voices from the deal
- Dimitar Tsvetanov, managing director at Factori AD: institutional demand is growing for regulated tokenization that bridges traditional securities with blockchain settlement, enabling compliant on-chain access while preserving regulated execution and custody.
- Ivo Grigorov, CEO of REAL Technologies: the agreement proves the company’s tokenization capabilities are operational and contracted with a regulated broker, and the pilot validates the model before scaling to the committed asset flow.
- Valentin Dimitrov, COO of REAL Technologies: the system was built around compliance and genuine instruments, and this first executed deal confirms institutional interest.
Context
The transaction arrives amid rising institutional appetite for tokenized real-world assets and blockchain-based settlement. By pairing a regulated broker’s compliance and custody framework with an on-chain settlement layer, REAL and Factori aim to offer a compliant path for bringing traditional securities onto blockchain rails.
