Just over a month after announcing our partnership with AKRE, the momentum around tokenized real estate is stronger than ever. With the EQTY platform now in its Beta phase, both teams are already seeing the first tangible results. AKRE has begun actively exploring market fit and real-world use cases for tokenized real estate assets, starting with a landmark residential development in one of Spain’s most coveted and underdeveloped islands.

The initiative has attracted early interest from prominent family offices and institutional players in real estate finance, reaffirming that the appetite for blockchain-based RWA solutions is not only real...it’s growing!

Borja Sacristán, Leading Partner at AKRE, shared his early impressions: “The EQTY Beta has given us exactly what we needed to begin stress-testing real use cases in a live environment. We're gaining insights into how tokenized ownership can evolve across different phases of a real estate project, from land development to final build. This is a powerful shift in how capital can be accessed and moved in real estate.”

AKRE’s use of EQTY is centered around democratizing access to high-value real estate investments. The tokenization model enables investors to trade exposure to various stages of a development’s lifecycle, offering new flexibility in risk and return.

Rick Schmitz, CEO of LTO Network, added: “Seeing AKRE move quickly into deployment is a strong validation of the EQTY platform. The Beta is built for exactly this kind of agile testing and feedback loop. We’re laying the foundation for a future where real estate investment is fluid, fractional, and borderless.”

As part of the roadmap, two major developments across Spain and greater Europe are already confirmed to be tokenized on LTO Network. These projects are not just proof-of-concept. They’re the first steps toward institutional-grade DeFi for property assets.

From issuance and compliance to investor liquidity and secondary markets, the collaboration between AKRE and LTO Network is already shaping the future of how real estate is accessed and owned.
