LTO Network Partners with AKRE to Tokenize $25M in Real Estate for EQTY Platform

Announcement • Published on: Mar 12, 2025 • Last updated: Mar 13, 2025

LTO Network, a leading blockchain infrastructure provider, has signed an agreement with AKRE, a forward-thinking alternative investments assessment firm, to tokenize a part of a $25 million worth of real estate assets project on LTO’s blockchain for our upcoming EQTY platform.

EQTY is an innovative ecosystem designed to tokenize and trade Real World Assets (RWAs), bringing liquidity and accessibility to traditionally illiquid markets. Through this collaboration, AKRE, in partnership with a top-tier Spanish real estate developer, will lead the biggest residential project in one of the most desirable and least developed islands of Spain. Amongst the initial set of investors are important family offices and top firms in real estate financing.

As part of the equity investors, AKRE has decided to leverage LTO Network’s secure and scalable blockchain to issue real estate-backed digital assets, transforming property investment in Spain and greater Europe.

The AKRE project is led by Borja Sacristán, a seasoned industry expert who previously served as General Manager for a family office, managing 300 MM € in assets as well as consulting with LTO Network.

AKRE has set out to revolutionize real estate development by integrating blockchain technology, bridging the gap between traditional property investment and decentralized finance (DeFi), and helping small investors participate in big real estate development projects, where only professional and institutional investors could join before.

Land development projects are perfect for RWAs, as the risk and value of the equity change during the lifecycle of the real estate asset, and token owners can trade the risk and benefit in a transparent market.

Two major developments in Spain and greater Europe have already been confirmed for tokenization on the LTO Network, marking a significant step toward the mass adoption of blockchain-based real estate investments.

Rick Schmitz, CEO of LTO Network, commented:
"Our collaboration with AKRE is a testament to LTO Network’s growing role in the tokenization of real-world assets. With EQTY, we are making real estate investment more accessible, efficient, and secure — paving the way for a new era of fractional property ownership."

Borja Sacristán, Leading Partner at AKRE, added:
"Tokenization is the future of real estate, and LTO Network provides the perfect foundation for building a truly decentralized and transparent ecosystem. Our partnership will enable us to unlock new opportunities for investors while modernizing the real estate sector."

As the tokenization of real-world assets gains momentum, the LTO Network x AKRE partnership represents a significant leap forward in bringing institutional-grade real estate investments to the blockchain.
