Looking forward to this one. 🚀 RWAs are entering a new phase - one where infrastructure, structured capital, and institutional participation matter more than narratives. That’s exactly why conversations like this are important. Join us for the Byzanlink × REAL Finance AMA with Ivo Grigorov, CEO of REAL Finance, as we discuss the future of institutional RWA infrastructure and structured capital markets on-chain. 📅 Tuesday, 3rd March 2026 ⏰ 2:00 PM UTC 🔔 Set your reminder: x.com/i/spaces/1oJMv… See you there. 💠

AP3X x Real Finance: Building What Makes Tokenization Real We’re proud to have AP3X supporting Real Finance from the early stages of our journey. As Real Finance moves forward with $29M in total funding, including a $25M commitment from Nimbus Capital, one thing is becoming clear: Institutions are no longer just watching tokenization. They’re backing the infrastructure behind it. This raise is about more than capital. It’s about building the foundation that turns tokenization from a narrative into real financial infrastructure: - Compliance - Custody - Settlement - Operational rails - Institutional connectivity These are the pieces that decide whether tokenization scales into production finance or stays stuck in theory. At Real Finance, we’re building an EVM-compatible Layer 1 for compliant tokenization and risk-managed capital flows designed with institutional adoption in mind from day one. Our architecture includes: - A dual-validator model - Business validators such as tokenizers, risk assessors, and insurers - Staking and slashing mechanisms for accountability - A non-inflationary Disaster Recovery Fund (DRF) for protection and trust The market is evolving fast. Tokenization is shifting from proof of concept to core financial infrastructure, and the next phase will be defined by the systems that make capital move securely, compliantly, and at scale. We’re grateful to AP3X for being part of this journey early - supporting our positioning, growth, ecosystem relationships, and go-to-market strategy. And we’re just getting started. The road to $500M tokenized starts with infrastructure built to last.

@RealFinOfficial REAL isn’t chasing noise — it’s engineering systems.

TGE Is the Starting Gun TGE is not the finish line. It’s the starting gun. REAL is building for what comes beyond hype: - RWA-native infrastructure - risk-aware asset design -on-chain insurance + recovery logic - validator incentives aligned with real network utility As we move toward TGE at the end of Q1, this is where the foundation becomes a live system. $ASSET is built for a network designed to bring real finance on-chain - with structure, accountability, and long-term utility. Stay close. The next phase is where it gets REAL. Quick Links: Website: real.finance Telegram: t.me/RealFinanceRWA Discord: discord.gg/Ja4zRWsv5N LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/realfi…

@RealFinOfficial Stress in repo markets is a signal. The future rails need to be transparent by design.

When repo usage spikes like this, it’s a reminder that modern finance still runs on overnight liquidity plumbing - complex, centralized, and fragile under stress. Tokenized finance won’t replace the system overnight, but it can upgrade the rails: faster settlement, real-time transparency, and programmable collateral flows. That’s the direction we’re building toward at REAL. 💠

@RealFinOfficial Interoperability unlocks real RWA scale.

REAL × Kima Network We’re excited to announce that REAL Finance is partnering with Kima Network to strengthen the infrastructure layer for tokenized real-world assets. REAL is building institutional-grade RWA rails. Kima brings cross-ecosystem interoperability infrastructure that helps move value and data more efficiently across fragmented environments. What we’re exploring together ✅ Cross-ecosystem connectivity for RWA flows ✅ Better liquidity routing and access pathways ✅ Stronger UX for institutions and communities onboarding to tokenized finance ✅ Interoperability foundations for future REAL ecosystem integrations Welcome to the REAL ecosystem, @KimaNetwork 💠 Quick Links: Website: real.finance Telegram: t.me/RealFinanceRWA Discord: discord.gg/Ja4zRWsv5N LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/realfi…

Infrastructure doesn't scale without trust. Spent the week in India with @datopictech Technologies, not in boardrooms, in their world. Sumit Chauhan's family celebrated 50 years while we were there. That's the foundation real partnerships are built on. Strategic moves ahead for @NaorisProtocol .

@RealFinOfficial @ivo_grigorov Institutional rails change everything.

🎙 DROPS E29 is live with @ivo_grigorov, our CEO of @RealFinOfficial - on why the future of tokenization is about trust + liquidity + real infrastructure, not hype. In this episode, we share the vision behind REAL and why RWAs need more than tokenization - they need trust, transparency, and accountable infrastructure. We discuss: ✅ Why trust is the missing layer in tokenized RWAs ✅ How we’re building REAL as an institutional-grade L1 ✅ Turning a $100M guarantee structure into smart-contract logic ✅ Why crypto must focus on sustainability and compounding ✅ How validators + on-chain metadata can bridge TradFi and Web3 ✅ Our $29M raise and institutional onboarding ahead of mainnet If you want the full picture of what we’re building and why it matters, watch the full episode. 💠 Link: youtube.com/watch?v=c1432p…

@RealFinOfficial @ivo_grigorov Watching this closely.

Big one dropping this Tuesday 👀 New DROPS episode with @ivo_grigorov, CEO of @RealFinOfficial - on why the future of tokenization is about trust + liquidity + real infrastructure, not hype. From ECB-level finance and $1.2B fund experience to building an RWA-focused Layer 1 from scratch. If you care about where TradFi and crypto actually meet, don’t miss this. 💠

The difference between hype and infrastructure is accountability. @eightlends focuses on real borrowers, real returns, and measurable structure. Up to 25% APR requires responsibility, but that’s how sustainable growth is built.

@RealFinOfficial @ivo_grigorov TradFi insight adds real depth to crypto.

Really looking forward to this DROPS episode this Tuesday with Ivo Grigorov (@ivo_grigorov), our CEO of @RealFinOfficial. Ivo brings a rare perspective - from managing institutional capital and working in traditional finance environments to building a Layer 1 focused on what institutions actually need: trust, risk clarity, and executable infrastructure. In this episode (on DROPS), he’ll break down: - why tokenized assets are growing faster than liquidity, - how REAL is integrating banks, insurers, and scoring entities into the on-chain model, - what TradFi still gets wrong about crypto, and why sustainable finance rails matter more than hype cycles. If you care about where RWAs and institutional crypto are really heading, this one should be on your watchlist. See you Tuesday. 💠
