- $REAL Finance signs first securities tokenization deal with Factori AD.
- Agreement activates institutional pipeline exceeding $100 million in assets.
- Pilot covers 5 million Alpha Bulgaria warrants valued near €2.75 each.
$REAL Technologies Inc., the parent company of $REAL Finance, has signed its first securities tokenization agreement with Factori AD, a fully licensed and EU-regulated investment broker.
The deal marks the first live deployment of $REAL Finance’s infrastructure for regulated securities and activates an institutional pipeline of more than $100 million in client assets.
The initial transaction will involve equity derivatives linked to Alpha Bulgaria AD, a Bulgarian Stock Exchange-listed investment company, and will be executed on an EVM-compatible blockchain before the planned launch of $REAL Finance’s Layer 1 mainnet.
$REAL Finance moves from infrastructure build-out to live deployment
$REAL Technologies said the agreement with Factori AD represents a major step in the commercial rollout of $REAL Finance’s tokenization infrastructure.
The company said the deal activates a committed institutional pipeline exceeding $100 million in client assets.
It also marks the first live deployment of $REAL Finance’s tokenization infrastructure for regulated securities.
Under the structure, Factori AD will direct institutional and client assets through $REAL’s infrastructure.
The broker will continue to manage all regulated brokerage functions, including client onboarding, KYC, AML compliance, licensed OTC execution, and segregated custody arrangements.
International securities custody will be maintained through Bank of New York. Bulgarian securities will be held at the Central Depository in Bulgaria.
The model is designed to keep regulated brokerage and compliance functions with the licensed broker, while $REAL Finance provides the infrastructure and settlement layer for tokenization.
$REAL Finance said its approach focuses exclusively on tokenizing real securities.
These include publicly traded equities and derivatives, private market shares, and bonds. The company said it does not focus on synthetic exposure products.
First tranche linked to Alpha Bulgaria warrants
The first transaction under the agreement involves equity derivatives tied to Alpha Bulgaria AD, a publicly traded investment company listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange under the ticker ALFB.
The pilot includes 5,000,000 warrants currently valued at approximately €2.75 each.
These warrants have been designated for tokenization through $REAL’s infrastructure under Factori AD’s licensed custody and transfer-agent framework.
The transaction represents the first tranche of a broader institutional pipeline.
Factori AD has committed more than $100 million in additional client assets for tokenization through $REAL’s infrastructure.
The transaction will be executed on an EVM-compatible blockchain before the planned launch of $REAL Finance’s Layer 1 mainnet.
$REAL Technologies said the pilot is designed to validate the full workflow for tokenized securities.
That workflow includes regulated sourcing, licensed OTC execution, regulated custody, and on-chain tokenization.
Dimitar Tsvetanov, managing director at Factori AD, said institutional interest in regulated tokenization infrastructure is growing.
We see growing institutional demand for regulated tokenization infrastructure that can bridge traditional securities markets with blockchain-based settlement systems. Through this agreement with $REAL Finance, we are able to provide clients with a compliant framework for bringing real financial instruments on-chain while maintaining regulated execution, custody, and onboarding standards.
Regulated custody remains central to the model
$REAL Technologies positioned the agreement as evidence that its tokenization model is now operational and under contract with a regulated broker.
“Signing this agreement demonstrates that $REAL’s tokenization capabilities are operational and under contract with real securities and a regulated broker. The pilot allows us to validate the full model before we scale to service our multi-nine-figure committed assets pipeline,” said Ivo Grigorov, chief executive officer of $REAL Technologies.
Valentin Dimitrov, chief operating officer of $REAL Technologies, said the company had built the system around compliance and real financial instruments.
“We designed the architecture around licensed custody, full compliance, and genuine instruments. This first executed deal, together with the committed flow, confirms institutional demand for the infrastructure we are building,” Dimitrov said.
The deal comes amid rising institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets and blockchain-based settlement systems.
